POS Tower should be able to manufacture fuel pellets!

The idea of Fuel Pellets was born so long ago. Before the era of Planetary Interaction. All the fuels had to be bought from NPCs. So it was a real pain to buy 5 items from an NPC instead of 1.
Everything changed with the Planetary Interaction. Most ppl produce half the fuel in their solar system themselves.

I don't know how the devs are going to implement Fuel Pellets, but I see only 3 choices:
1) POS tower has a built in ability to manufacture pellets.
GOOD!.
+Easy transaction.
+Zero pain
+All the benefits of Fuel Pellets
2) Extra module is needed inside the POS to produce pellets.
BAD!
- waste of money on the pellet factory
- waste of CPU/PG
- waste of heavy water&ozone
3) Station is needed to produce pellets.
WORST case!
-people producing POS fuels inside their home systems will have to transport the goddamn Coolants, Mech Parts, Uranium and everything else to a goddamn station and back in order to keep the shield ;(
-people without station access will have to sell fuels and buy pellets. waste of money.
-Have some mercy for the WH corporations.

Just imagine someone living in a Class1 wormhole with a 6-month reserve of fuel stored in corp hangar.
Hundreds of IteronV jumpes into the empire with the fuels and hundreds of jumpes back into the WH with pellets.
