'''Stations''' are habitable structures for [[humans]] in space. They are specialized to produce certain [[goods]]. [[Ships]] can dock to gain access to station services. The services include accepting [[missions]], [[Passenger Carrier|passenger contracts]], buying or [[outfitting]] ships, clearing and collecting [[bounty|bounties]], paying [[fine]]s, refueling, repairs, [[trader|trading]] (legally and illegally), and hiring [[:Category:Crew|crew]]. Stations are equipped with defence systems to deal with criminals and [[smuggler]]s. [[Defence Turrets]] are very lethal and can destroy small-sized ships ([[Hauler]], [[Cobra]]) in a few seconds. | '''Stations''' are habitable structures for [[humans]] in space.

Some stations rotate to provide centripetal force to simulate [[gravity]] for the people aboard. The exterior and interior appearance of a station depicts its specialized economic output. | Some stations rotate to provide centripetal force to simulate [[gravity]] for the people aboard. The exterior and interior appearance of a station depicts its specialized economic output. There are several variants of each model. For example, towns and farms are visible in agricultural hubs of [[Orbis]] models. | ||
The amount and quality of available services at a station varies. Under certain extreme conditions, such as when a large quantity of [[Thargoid Sensor]]s or [[Thargoid Probe|Probes]] has been sold on a station's [[black market]], causes most or all services (e.g. refueling), to be disabled. Two station types, [[Capital Ship Dock]]s and [[Installation]]s, offer no docking facilities nor services. | The amount and quality of available services at a station varies.
