'''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 [[mission]]s, buying new ships or [[outfitting]] for ships, clearing and collecting bounty, paying [[fine]]s, refuelling, repairs, [[trader|trading]] (legally and illegally). They are also equipped with their own defence systems in place to deal with criminals and [[smuggler]]s. Station defences are very powerful and can destroy a small size ship ([[Hauler]], [[Cobra]]) in a matter of seconds.

These structures 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.

Not all stations may offer all services.
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]]s has been sold on a station's black market, most or all services, including refuelling, may be disabled.

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==
===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==
===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. Station defences will activate and open fire on your ship if you should fire any of your [[weapons]] within the no fire zone or you will be fined. Using any scanner within the no fire zone is perfectly legitimate and legal.

==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.
