I'd also like to recommend there be an installation type that you can deploy in a space slot called "Installation - Staging Area" that basically acts as a big warehouse for various colony materials that a player or others can drop off at.
Now whether you can auto-fulfill build requirements FROM there (so you don't have to haul the stuff across the system) OR, even if you come back later to haul it. I'm about 50/50 on. But I would love a single place to just drop stuff off, that I can build near the primary star, and as I queue construction projects, I can just go to the staging area to pick up what I need.
That way Importing (hauling from outside the system TO the system) and hauling to the site (intra-system transport) could be scheduled as different play sessions. For Ex. I spend one evening session just sourcing stuff, then come back in a later session, to actually build it.
