The heart of the whole thing are shuttles that function similarly to trains, flying back and forth between docks across planets/surfaces.
There are also little things like an attractor that pulls enemies to a specific source to implement other defense strategies.
And an asteroid destroyer that can be placed on platforms (endgame stuff), and so on.
There are also plans for a kind of company to which resources can be delivered, both to "get rid" of large quantities of items and receive money in return, and to obtain unique resources that cannot be farmed otherwise.
