From what I've heard they're just normal build drones with a different name, you never see MI using them because AI don't mine resources to build platforms with and a Node building a planet wouldn't look any different than one just sitting there defending it.
.....Speaking of platforms, do MI and Pirates even have platforms?

They're just normal build drones with a different name. Maybe some day we'll try to make them into a spawning-from-the-ship ability, but its nowhere near high on the list.
There are no platforms for the pirates or MI at the moment. Feel free to make some models and we'll add them though.

This is something I have always considered. Say like there would be a station with the soal porpuse of being a ship yard. It couldn't spawn anything bigger then say destroyer class ships. But it would still be really cool to have and see.

a station spawning ships doesnt make a very great deal of sense. scouts maybe, at the most, but consider that spawning a destroyer would mean building the whole thing as well as providing a crew. i dont think a station typically can sustain that =P scouts would make some sense since itd be like the player "launching" scouts the same way a dread launches fighters, but still...
perhaps make it a MI specific ability since theyre all robots anyways?

One option is removing the Pirate station and using it as a platform instead, since that model arguably could be such. It wasn't entirely clear on its purpose, but it sure seems like it would make a decent plat.
Though I think we have an old model or maybe two floating in the system which could be used for a plat. I'll have to check....

well i think the best way to make station able to build ships have to be in obrit around a planet or something of that nature and you build it but it just like if you cap an ai you have to put troops on it but that give the ai control of it and be perfect for when we start doing missions again (if we ever get them)

I think it's more worthy to complain about their messed up beams doing so much damage!
