Added section about stations damaged by thargoids
Line 219: Line 219:


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.

== Damaged Station ==
Stations can be in the state DAMAGED. This is supposedly the result of a [[Thargoids|Thargoid]] attack. Locations of damaged stations will be reported in [[Galnet]] articles titled "Startport Status Update". In the [[System Map]] a red/orange icon will appear above the station. Station is urgently looking for help, issuing lots of rescue missions (with cargo and material rewards).
=== Effects: ===
* Station is burning. The inside of the station is highly dangerous. Temperature is very hot, debris is flying around, explosions shift your ship off track. Besides that, other evacuation ships will recklessly try to escape the station.
* A rescue ship is parked nearby. All evacuation missions have the rescue ship as drop off location. The evacuation ship has proper equipment for the missions.
* Loads of evacuation missions are generated.
=== Recommended Equipment ===
* [[Heat Sink Launcher|Heat Sinks]] (temperature causes your modules to  malfunction)
* [[Shield Generator|Shield]] (collisions due to high traffic, debris, explosions)
* [[Passenger Cabin|Passenger Cabins]] (for the refugees)
* [[Cargo Rack]], min. size 4 (for the rewards)
