BSE Harvester base

Hi, I'm a mobile player,

I just unlocked the additional space station BSE Harvester, and after comparing it to the BSE Avalon, it turns out it's inferior in every which way and has no additional bonuses that I've seen to offset the higher production costs.

To rattle off the stats: (midgame so not quite default)

BSE Avallon:
Hull:1540
Shield: 700
Turrets: 3
Hangars:0
Point Defense: 2
Marines: 80
Vision:5
Speed:0
Cost: 1600

The Harvesterstation:
Hull:1320
Shield: 600
Turrets:2
Hangars:0
Point Defense: 2
Marines:67
Vision:5
Speed:0
Cost:2000

The Harvester station also cost 260 to unlock to the Avallon's 200.    Now,  I'm guessing that this base is supposed to increase passive income,  but as I mentioned earlier,  there is no help tip describing the function of the station if that's the case nor have I seen an increase in my income/second numbers.

So is this a bug,  or does the station need to be buffed a bit to reflect it's higher base costs?   Otherwise,  kudos for the work...it's quite a challenge to beat some of these missions.

Cheers,

Pigeon

It soaks up resources from ship wrecks close by. Next patch will add explanations to the special units.
