they already have their stations with phalanx and ramilies, also you are not considering certain things like supplies and energy consumption let alone viability. you will not spend ressources on a useless concentration of power when you can easily spend those ressources on a number of ships that cover a bigger area at the same time, reacting faster. to multiple threats, deploying needed troops instead of one big thing that cannnot pacify anything with long lasting effects.

(If the Imperium was also able to field many of them, we'd have heard of more of such units, yet their supply is pretty limited, what makes you think that the Imperium has the expertise, let alone the supply chains to support many of them, let alone stuff that is far bigger) /what interest would they have.

(Sidenote: blackstone fortress size space station would have 0 to do with star wars, but merely an attempt at a copy of another race in their own universe.)

no need to give constructive reasoning when reasoning of the start/basis of assumptions is flawed.

Sidenote: constructive reasoning can also be telling somebody that his/her idea is full of flaws and that that person should go back to the drawing board)...

the starting point is a discussion in a w40k based environment, made by a person that wants to remove a lot of what is 40k from that environment, if that person wants to do that, the person should be smart enough to do it elsewhere. This is a bit late but just saying, this was the tau's reasoning for not making titans.
