Ships not building
I went out of my way to make myself my own space boat factory, set it up so raw mats go in, and ships come out, go to build 5 Asps, won't start. Took my Cobra in for a refit, cleared the queue of everything, and set it to only build ships for me. it says there is a scheduled upgrade for this ship, but no completion timer. I've got no warnings that the station is missing resources, and I have it producing everything. I just want to expand my fleet without relying on the AI's supply lines, but apparently I'm not allowed to do that.

Resources may be enroute.

They're already in the station. It has more than enough to build anything I can dream up.

Do you have a ship trader(personnel) assigned to the station and build drones?

Description is not enough, pictures or save file will be more helpful.

When you open the logical overview- are there any materials that are low/missing? Please don't get offended by this question but does your station have container storage?

Personel are assigned to the station, I thought it might be a lack of build drones, but I set it to 600 and it's still not building. Logical overview says there's more than enough materials in storage, and I've got 10 L container storage on it.

Man I thought my HQ base had too many production modules on it...
Look you have 3 S/M ship fabrication bays, 2 L ship fabrication bays and one XL ship fabrication bay in the same station.
Not to mention multiple production modules.
My guess is that your HQ station is bugged, the game is probably not registering the station as a shipyard or wharf.
My suggestion to you is this:
1. save the game.
2. deconstruct all ship building modules in HQ station, then transfer the materials to new stations.
3. Build a stand-alone station with S/M ship fabrication bay.
4. Build a stand-alone station with L ship fabrication bay.
5. Build a stand-alone station with XL ship fabrication bay.
6. use S.E.T.A until new stations are ready, assign transporter ships to each station with internal buy order (only buy from player faction).
7. when the new stations are built and supplied, try building ships.
If this doesn't work - you can always reload your save but my guess is that it will work.
it's much easier to maintain multiple stations anyway.

My encyclopedia shows me that an Asp costs 69 energy cells and 239 hull parts. Your screenshot shows that you have hull parts but not energy cells. If you have enough energy cells, which I can't discern through your logical overview I would try rebuilding S/M Fab bay or connecting it to an energy cell storage. I hope it helps. Good luck bro! Sorry I'm not a dev, just a guy trying to help.

Nice.
I've got 20ish solar collectors on that station. Bought a 20x20x20 plot and started shoving production into it. It does demand a lot of food and medical supplies, but I wanted the whole thing in one place. I'll try that multiple station thing though. hopefully it fixes me.

So turns out it was multiple Wharves in one place that was the issue. Guess the game couldn't figure out which one to use. I've instead spread the same ship production across 5 different stations, with extra stations for extra resources. I now have enough production to take on literally anyone. >:)

So i have the Problem that my shipyard didnt build and i read if you fire your Shipdealer and hire a new one it works again. So i did try it and it works
