Summary0026718: Tower Schematic Server hack didn't provide tower to battlestation
DescriptionHi. I am playing my first expert game right now and just realized that my starting battlestation did not receive the turrets from hacking a Schematic Server. Is this a feature of expert mode? But then, why does the tooltip of the battlestation still say "Defensive Structure Cap: 100%"?

Yes, it is a feature of Expert Campaign. It doesn't affect the defensive structure cap; beginning at Expert, you have to use the Hack 3x option to get turrets for your battlestations. There is a Tip which you may wish to read that addresses this (Limited Battlestations). The purpose of this change is to counteract how powerful the turret hacks are with giving the player increased numbers of turrets for use in beachheading, a tactic that has been used heavily by skilled players due to how much stronger turrets are than mobile ships in terms of combat power compared to the resources required to build them.

Suggestions are very welcome if you think this should be changed, but at present this is working as designed.
