Then what about the multiple entry point as typical behavior
What does "multiple entry point" do?
A station doesnt need to be special to have two hangar bays :V
Is there more than one station in the game? If yes, are they all the same? If no, then obviously, there are differences in what individual stations bring to gameplay.
Now you package (part of) this diversity within one single structure, meaning for example you have poor quarters with high crime and illegal markets, rich quarters with luxury items, a part of the station belonging to the Asshhhtr'kh sub-species that due to its limited sensory frequency range make spaceship that have this special cobalt-blue shine that are sooo trendy in Akrub system and beyond.
But as this diversity is localised in one station (a difference to a collection of stations nearby), you can go from one to the other without taking your ship, so without the limitations inherent to a ship (e.g. cargo size; allow for gameplay without flying). It also means that there is a larger diversity of traffic in the system, and the size of the attached industry, services and fleet make such places landmarks for logisitical and strategic point of views.
You can call one Spacestructure of Type 3.5 (as between station of type 3 and planets of type 4), if you prefer, but...

I have no idea how a station with special labeling would change either of those.
Then, my friend, I am sorry for you. This means your experience will be so much more limited, if concentrating
exclusively on mechanism and utility and not on label and poesy. No game can beat your interior imagination, it's a free add-on!
Trantor is both "a planet-wide megapolis" and "an ensemble of habitats and attached utilities that can host 1267769871254 individuals", but somehow the latter seem more dry and less alive (but would be cool and make for diversity to indicate a robotic society, for instance).
But that YOU don't care does not mean WE should not either.
