details:
- you have to build this platform
- it can carry a set (big) amount of ressources
- ressources must be dropped on it
- you can tow it around
- you can use it like you use a starport to retrieve the ressources within
benefits:
- you can fill one then drag it somewhere in deep space to build platforms
- if you just capped a planet you can bring one of these to refill its ressources
- if some people queued big ships (stations / dreads) you can go to collect ressorces from other planets, tow it to the sy-planet and drop its ressources on sy-planet
- you can hide ressources from the enemy (you can always check planets, but you have to find this platform
limits:
- only a set number of those storages can exist at a time ( maybe max 2 per server per faction)
- they have a set lifetime (maybe 10h) till they SD (including their ressources  )
- maybe make them usable by everyone (if someone place such a storage somewhere in deep space he'll should look after it )
------
additional sugestions with these platforms:
- ships with build-drones can upgrade it:
-- add depot -> repairs friendlies like normal platforms (but slower)
-- add weapons -> attack enemys with projectile-weapons (so it cant shoot down stolen ressources
-- add distribution-device -> distribute ressources to friendly platforms nearby (<300gu maybe and not all at once-> maybe 500res every 10sec to platforms <10%)
-- add extra bay -> doubles storage
-- each upgrade lock the other ones
-- after upgrade the platform should become stationary so you cant move it anymore

engineers should be able to build it like a regular platform and limit 30 along with the other platforms and it sounds more like a station and it can hold ifantry to increase space of invasion forces

We use the resource cap as a limit for building platforms, so this would generate a bit of a flaw in the design. As such, probably not going to happen.
