184.17.204.231: Changed station lights from "Yellow" to "Green"

[[File:Coriolis Station 001.jpg|300px|thumb|Coriolis]]

The '''Coriolis''' [[station]] is a time-tested design pioneered by the [[Galactic Cooperative]] and regarded as its most prolific and enduring legacy. Renowned for its efficient, modular layout, a single Coriolis can be assembled and made operational within a matter of weeks. These stations are usually the first to be built in newly-colonized systems, and are converted into trading posts once the initial phase of colonization is completed.<ref name="EE">''[[Elite Encounters RPG]]''</ref>

==Overview==
Modern Coriolis stations are [[Wikipedia:Cuboctahedron|cuboctahedrons]] with a 2-kilometer diameter. When it was first introduced by GalCop, the design had a much smaller diameter of 1 kilometer, but beginning in the 3200's the size was increased. By the 3300's, although new Coriolis stations continue to be built both within the [[Core Systems]] and out in the frontiers of the [[Colonia Region]] and [[Pleiades Nebula]], maintaining them has become more costly as parts have become more difficult to procure or manufacture.<ref name="EE" />

The exterior of the Coriolis consists of inverted skyscrapers, where penthouses provide spectacular views of space in addition to comfortable levels of gravity. In rare cases, a Coriolis will also feature two "arms" extending from opposite facets of the main structure, as seen with Smith Reserve in LDS 883. A second variant with four "arms" was introduced with Cavalieri in Electra. These arms are commonly referred to as "Noob Hammers" due to the fact that inexperienced players mistake them for landing pads and fly into them.

===Docking===
{{main|Docking}}
Due to the symmetrical nature of Coriolis stations it can be difficult to find the [[Docking Bay|docking slot]]. To remedy this the [[HUD#Target Hologram|target hologram]] (displayed when targeting the station) has arrows pointing towards the station's entrance. An alternative method of locating the entrance is to observe the starport's axis of rotation - the entrance will always be located at the end of the axis of rotation that spins counter-clockwise when you are facing the starport.

Also the rear of the station has red lights in the corners, the front are green.

It is possible to fly around the station in supercruise and exit in front of the station by targeting the station and using the holographic display.

Point Defence Turret

{{quote|Missile Defence. Automatically tracks and fires upon missiles and torpedoes in range when powered.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Point Defence Turret''' is defensive [[Weapons|weapon]] equipment that can be mounted on the "utility mount". Once mounted, the Point Defence Turret will automatically shoot at [[Missile Rack|missiles]], [[Torpedo Pylon|torpedos]] and [[Mine Launcher|mines]] for as long as it has power and ammunition. It also shoots any incoming [[Hatch Breaker Drone]]s. The Point Defence Turret does need line of sight to shoot at any valid target. Due to line of sight limitations on many ships, multiple Point Defence Turrets may be needed for full coverage or alternatively, erratic corkscrewing and rolling flight paths may be used to rotate on oncoming target into the turret's line of fire.

==Munitions==
Spent ammunition must be replenished once used. Any [[station]] equipped with a "Re-arm" service will be able to replenish ammunition. One can also replenish ammunition from the Munitions menu in the Starport Services. It has a clip size of 50 bullets and can hold 10,050 bullets in total, each bullet costing 1 CR.

* Damage, DPS, and Thermal Load are all based upon the in-game display which is basically an "out of 10" scale thus the values for these sections should be assumed as approximations.

==Notes==
* Will shoot at all missiles and mines.
* The bullets appear to be green and fire in a three round burst.
* The Point Defence Turret requires both time and a clear line of sight to shoot down incoming targets. Missiles and Torpedoes fired at close range, at angles with limited or no line of sight, and in large enough quantities have a decent chance of not being shot down.
* Point Defense Turrets provide an important defence against Reverberating Cascade Torpedoes and Mines (Reverberating Cascade adds the effect of directly causing damage to a ships' shield generator when striking a shielded ship).
