Ammo&drone manufacturing service module for capsuleer stations

Something important is missing from station service module selection. Service module that allows only ammo and drone manufacturing. This module would be cheaper to manufacture than full factory module and consume less fuel. Current factory module (manufacturing plant) consumes lots of fuel.

When people kill rats they drop cheap modules. In capsuleer station you can recycle them and then turn them into ammo and drones if you have blueprints for ammo and drones. Currently keeping station up for this purpose is very expensive.

This would allow solo capsuleers live long time in null sec. They just create more ammo and drones from stuff that NPC rats drop.

Comments are welcome for my idea!

they are not really meant for solo play though are they. M structures are meant to be affordable by solo players but their overall design is built around the idea of group play. Not to mention their overall fuel cost is lower than a tower(only 8 blocks/hr) they have just removed the workaround on only onlining it for an hr(something that was terribly unbalanced .

If you are living solo in null either you are in NPC null.... in which case there are markets.
Or you have docking in Sov null. In which case there are markets.
And if you don't have docking, then you aren't soloing since you have to haul loot out somehow, so whatever that mechanic is you can resupply.

This is in above to the other points Lugh raised.

POS has specialized assembly arrays - Engineering Complex combines these into a single manufacturing plant that can build everything (except capital ships).

A specialized service module for ammo and drones would be the same price and consume the same amount of fuel so - why bother?

Simply use the existing manufacturing service module and fit rigs to provide bonuses for ammo and drone production.
