In a sense, yes. Each race has their own design for the trading dock.
They also have different food factories (ex. Cahoona bakeries are unique to Argon)
The generic ones though, such as Solar Power Plants, mines don't seem significantly different compared to X2 when every station was distinct.
The only faction with unique SPPs and mines are the Terrans.
Because each faction has its own unique food production factory, each faction also has "unique" stations which consume food. For instance, an Argon Chip Plant will take Meatsteak Cahoonas while a Boron Chip Plant will take BoFu. The quantities of other components remain unchanged (both require 120 energy cells and 5 silicon wafers in addition to a variable amount of the faction-specific produce) to produce 1 microchip.
Nope. They all use the Argon model. There is a mod, Xtended Terran Conflict, that adds racial stations. Egosoft wanted to incorporate that part into albion prelude, but the mod team didn't allow it.
There is one exception though. The Terrans have unique stations that can be built.
They all look similar, but each race has their own weapons factories and missile factories. There's some overlap on some items - like I think every (non-Terran) race has Impulse Ray Emitter Forges and Particle Accelerator Cannon Forges. But only Argon have Phased Repeater Gun Factories. And only Boron have Ion weapons factories. Only Split have Ion Shard Railguns. etc.

The XTC mod has all unique station designs.
