'''Stations''' are built in space to provide living space for humans, and are specialized to produce certain [[goods]]. [[Ships]] can dock at them, allowing access to the station services. Station services include accepting [[missions]] and [[Passenger Carrier|passenger contracts]], buying new ships or [[outfitting]] for ships, clearing and collecting bounty, paying [[fine|fines]], refuelling, repairs, [[trader|trading]] (legally and illegally), and hiring [[:Category:Crew|crew]]. They are also equipped with their own defence systems in place to deal with criminals and [[smuggler|smugglers]]. Defensive turrets are very powerful and can destroy a small size ship ([[Hauler]], [[Cobra]]) in a matter of seconds.

Some stations rotate to provide centrifugal force simulating the pull of [[gravity]]. The exterior appearance of a station is an accurate depiction of its specialized economic output, although there are several variants of each model. For example, towns and farms are clearly visible in agricultural hubs, or Orbis models.

The number and quality of services available at a station can vary. Under certain extreme conditions, such as when a large quantity of [[Unknown Artefact|Unknown Artefacts]] has been sold on a station's black market, most or all services, including refuelling, may be disabled. Two station types, [[Capital Ship Dock|Capital Ship Docks]] and [[Installation|Installations]], offer no docking facilities or services.

== Lore ==
[[Starport|Starports]] such as the Coriolis, Orbis and Ocellus are a safe haven for pilots amid the vastness of space. They’re also very big; an entire city floating in space and slowly rotating to create artificial [[gravity]] for the [[trader|traders]], [[pilot|pilots]], tourists and citizens aboard. Millions of people live and work there. Gravity differs between each tower's floors. For many residents real daylight is a rare privilege. The landing hub is pressurized with an atmosphere. The docking hub is a safe zone, because no firing of weapons is permitted. Defensive turrets protect it and uphold the law.<ref>Official The Art of Elite Dangerous art book, August 17 2016</ref>

==Features==

===Station Type===
The station type and interiors are determined by star system type, economy, and population. There are Tourism, Refinery, Agriculture, Tech, Regular, and Wealthy station interiors.

[[File:Wealthy Station.png|thumb|200px|Wealthy station (e.g. Leonard Nimoy Station, LHS 3006)]]

[[File:Agriculture Station.jpg|thumb|200px|Agriculture station (e.g. Kingsbury Dock, Thrutis)]]

===Docking===
{{Main|Docking}}

To dock with a station, pilots must first request docking permissions by accessing the navigational terminal's "Contacts" tab. Pilots farther than 7,500m from a station will be automatically denied access and asked to approach to said distance first. In heavily populated or lagging instances, all ports may be occupied and a permit will be denied. Once granted, the pilot will be assigned a landing pad number to approach and land on. If the pilot does not land within the allotted time slot [usually 10 minutes], the pilot will have to exit the station and request additional permissions. Attempting to dock without permissions will trigger a lethal response within 60 seconds. This includes docking on the incorrect landing platform.

If docking control responds with a generic "docking request denied" message, then it's likely all landing pads are occupied. One can circumvent this by logging out of the open play and into solo play will usually fix this. Once docked, you can switch back to open play.

Upon undocking from your landing platform, you will have 5 minutes to exit the station before you are considered a loiterer and a 60-second hostility timer begins.

To either side of the docking port are lights coloured green and red. Pilots should approach on the side with the green lights to reduce the chance of a collision.

===Ship Storage===
Players can purchase and store additional ships at each station and switch freely between them when docked. These can be accessed from the [[shipyard]] section of the [[starport]] services screen.

===No Fire Zone===
All stations have an area surrounding them designated a no fire zone. You are notified each time your ship enters and exits this area. You will also receive a message when your ship enters this zone to retract your weapons, should they be deployed at the time. If you should fire any of your [[weapons]] within the no fire zone you will be fined. Station defences will activate and open fire on your ship if your weapons hit the station or any ship that is not wanted in that jurisdiction. Using any scanner within the no fire zone is perfectly legitimate and legal.

Dumping any cargo within the no fire zone will get you fined, except while docked in the station.

Travelling faster than 100 m/s in a no fire zone will give you a reckless flying fine if you are in a collision with another ship, however this does not apply for speeds under 100 m/s. If you collide with another ship that results in the other ship being destroyed while travelling over 100m/s, you will be charged for murder and have the station open fire on you.<ref group="nb">If the ship is player controlled and has Report Crimes Against Me turned off, no fines or bounties will be issued</ref>

==Construction==
While Outposts (and possibly Coriolis stations) are constructed in orbit where they are needed, Ocellus and Orbis stations are partially constructed elsewhere, transported to their destinations, and then completed. The Ocellus and Orbis dock enclosures are built first, then attached to an engine assembly that allows them to jump to the final build site. Upon arrival, the docks are opened to the public for docking, but remain stationary. The engines are eventually detached, and a spire built along the dock's rear axis to accommodate habitation rings, solar panel arrays, and other modules. Once the station's modules are completed, the station is rotated and is considered fully online.

== Notable Stations ==
* [[Jameson Memorial]] has all ships and modules available for purchase at a 10% discount. This [[Orbis]] station orbits [[Founders World]]. You must reach the [[Ranks|rank]] of Elite or be a Kickstarter backer in order to get a permit to access Founders World.

{{quote|The Fer-de-Lance is another classic design that has now been in production for two centuries. The ship became famous for its popularity with top business executives and wealthy bounty hunters, being a fast, well armed vessel, with luxurious accommodation and high quality components fitted as standard. Early models were built by Zorgon Peterson, but more recently, limited numbers have been upgraded by Saud Kruger in a rare collaboration, resulting in even more lavish creations, without spoiling the original design and specification requirements.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Fer-de-Lance''' is a heavy combat ship. The Fer-de-Lance's hull is a bit more resistant to smaller [[weapons]] than other ships of its class.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=120789&p=1873136&viewfull=1#post1873136 Sandro Sammarco in the Official Forums]</ref>

The weapon hard points are located as follows: Two top mounted Class 2 medium hardpoints on the nose about 1/4 of the way back from the tip, Two side mounted Class 2 medium hardpoints at about the ship's midpoint, and One bottom mounted Class 4 huge hardpoint between 1/2 and 2/3rds back from the front tip.
