The Space station, I am looking for inspiration for it honestly.
Once, I
get a good idea what it should look like, I can start making it.

Do you have a Star Wars micromachine Bespin Cloud City? I know a company
that uses it as the top deck to a larger station, but I've always
assumed
that the stations in FTII should be point entities, same as ships.
Another
possibility is the MM Space Dock.
If you want bigger, plenty of moderate priced items on eBay, from DS9's
to
B5's.

The missile packs, I am completely lost other than using counters, but
if
anyone can found/created a miniature for them, I'd love to see them.

Are you talking about SM counters? The plastic missles and torps out of
Silent Death come to mind, but you want something that has six missles.
Take a look at plastic cocktail toothpicks; either straight 'swords' or
the
ones with clever logos can do. Cut the sharp tips off, say 1/4", and
glue
half a dozen on a small base; pennies are always good.
I'll see if I can think up more...
