so, the UIT marauder looks like it could have some grappler
arms in front of it. these could be used to position and place
parts of things during construction and/or demolition operations.

for example, when you introduce illegal drugs, and
certain stations turn into crackhouses, the UIT demolition
marauder can come in and help tear down the destroyed
parts of the station,, you khow.. the ones with feces embedded
in the air ducts and burnt up synthfood units that were being
used to cook rocks.

the UIT construction robots, they could take pieces of
station... perhaps from behemoths, or maybe frigates, and
arrange them properly for autowelding. its amazing the
fabrication technology they have, take two pieces of a building,
stick them together, and proximity detectors go off, igniting
automatic welding circuits embedded in the interfaces.

and the sparks are quite pretty. the only problem is they
have nowhere to 'fall' like on a planet, so they just kind of
shoot off everywhich way.

anyways the only problem with station building is that,
like the space station simulator game, sometimes you
put too much crew quarters in but you dont have enough
energy production... or you dont have any way for them
to go poopy or whatever.
