no.. it doesn't really matter and doesn't effect the game other then being
rather annoying...

star-stations have really been beefed up because of user requests..         (
there is a rather long thread on the BC foums about it ) the trick being that u
have to remember several keys things when attacking star-stations..

1. Stations target range is around 450km approx...
2. Stations have "blind-spots" where they can't target you with turrets
3. It's best to have command C&C so that u can use "diversions", to take the
heat off you and allow you to attack 

there are a few tips on the BC forums about this, but not much... I have yet to
do any star-station assaults ( this game ) 'cause I haven't reached command C&C
yet.. =P
