SPACE STATION UPDATE
You can now use any left over cards you have from your fleet to build up a powerful space station that will help protect you in stealth raids. If you have a space station then any stealth raids against you will take place on a larger battlefield with the station deployed at the start.
The space station can be upgraded in 5 different ways:
Small ship cards provide additional turrets up to rail repeaters, lasers and flak.
Large ship cards provide additional capital weapons up to rail cannons and plasma.
Fighter ship cards provide an increasingly powerful fighter escort up to including bombers and a fighter launch bay similar to the Dreadnought chassis.
Bomber ship cards provide missile weapons up to including four proton torpedo launchers!
Capital ship cards provide an upgrade to the armour and shields of the station.
Special cards, such as repair cards, can be used to upgrade any of the five sections.
At full strength the station has:
4 Flak Turrets
4 Laser Turrets
8 Rail Repeaters
8 Rail Cannon Turrets
4 Plasma Turrets
4 Advanced Missile Turrets
4 Photon Launcher Turrets
1 Bomber Squadron
1 Interceptor Squadron
1 Fighter Launch Bay
5 Times the armour and shielding of the Battle Cruiser
Your credits are in safe hands!
BONUS: Every time your space station is victorious in defence, your rating increases!
NOTE: Cards used to enhance the space station are removed from your data banks. If a player is successful at defeating your space station, it will lose a small amount of it's upgrade power.

This was the reason for the maintenance cost, otherwise there is no way of you knowing how effective your station has been at defending your borders. Also the maintenance cost is very small. It would take 1000 defeats for you to lose your current investment, and as the space station gets to higher levels, the number of defeats required greatly increases.
