station design Expand station design founding

(Edited suggestion with better understanding of the mechanism involved - 7/21/21)

From the 1.1 patch notes:

Quote

When founding a station, the style of the faction it was bought from can be used to create a plan for it

With this, you have to build your station founder from a faction's shipyard in order to gain access to their station designs with that station founder only.  Because mines don't use station founders, this means they can't get it.  As such, I'm requesting a slight change to this.  Please allow any station founder and mine founding to access NPC designs from any faction that you have high enough relations with (possibly require being allied).

 

Seeing this steam thread reminded me I had made this suggestion and that obviously the way I had made the original suggestion would not work.

Seems like a no-brainer.

Edited suggestion now that I understand better how the station founding design works.
