Types of Science Ships, Stations and Laboratories:
In the article Specialized Science Systems (Build), it is mentioned that specialist science ships (and stations) can be built, where the primary mission of that ship (or even its class) is for a very specific branch of science, and can even be specified to specialize within that branch. Likewise, in the Science Systems (Build) article, labs can be designated as general in nature or specifically installed to research a particular branch (or specialty).
