AbilityCreateStructure? Resource cost for abilities?

from Sins Forums
There's an ability for creating squads, and an ability for creating frigates, is there one for creating structures at all? would be nice to get round the limit of only 2 pages of buildings.

Even if structures aren't possible, it's possible to create different units using this method... is there a way to set a resource cost for each one? I tried the steal resource thing but that doesn't work (not that stealing from yourself makes any sense anyway)  and EarnResource semi-works but I can't find a way to limit it to affecting a certain resource?

The TEC Akkan creates ore/crystal mines with its colonize ability. I'm not sure if that can be expanded to create any structure, I haven't looked at it, but that would be the place for you to start looking.

You should be able to create frigates with abilities, though - look at the Vasari carrier's ultimate. I recall someone mentioning that any ship frigate/cruiser can be created with the parameters. However, I don't believe it's possible to tie it into resources such that casting the ability would use up some :(
