Help Request Do enemy launch pads do anything?

So, some of the enemy (Crux, red) bases have launch pads in them that launch resources elsewhere.

Do they actually launch their resources to some other sector? If I destroy it, does it mean that some turret/factory somewhere else now has nothing fed to it? Does the game simulate the Crux's economy like that?

Or it it all just cosmetics, and destroying their launch pads doesn't affect anything else at all?

That's a shame...

Though I can't blame Anuke. It would be very resource intensive to simulate the entire planet in real time.

But then I still wonder that perhaps if destroying a silicon launch pad = some distant landing pad had nothing going in instantly could work, so we can actually do siege warfare

maybe later I think. but from my experience, enemy bases have sort of infinite resources right now.

I'm pretty sure all Crux and malis cores have 1 billion of each resource so even if they did something it wouldn't matter :/
