If you are calling it "Weapon Station" now, it just more makes me want harvesters and utility bays to be a separate station/bay.
If harvesting subsystems are treated differently, they could also be more than just magic mining beams. I really like the idea of a prospector bay sending out mining drones. Even if it is just a different visual effect and such.
Utility bays like the tractor beam could also be separated. Other utility bays like salvager bays, archaeology bays and remote repair/construction bays could all be nice ideas for that.
But this is a bit off-topic for this thread.
I think I had an idea thread for this somewhere once. I'll add a link later when/if I find it.
