'''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]]. Station defences are very powerful and can destroy a small size ship ([[Hauler]], [[Cobra]]) in a matter of seconds. | '''Stations''' are built in space to provide living space for humans, and are specialized to produce certain [[goods]].

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. | Some stations rotate to provide centrifugal force simulating the pull of [[gravity]].

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. | The number and quality of services available at a station can vary.

[[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.<ref>Official The Art of Elite Dangerous art book, August 17 2016</ref> | |||
