Before you can get inside a station, you must first ask for permission to land, otherwise you won't have a specific pad to land at and you may receive a fine! Docking clearance is requested via the Contacts tab in the '''left''' menu of your ship: enter the Target menu ("1" by default), move to the Contacts tab ('q' or 'e' to switch tabs), select the station (select by using the space bar), and highlight/select the "Request Docking Permission" (using the w, s, and space bar keys). If you were rejected, you were either out of range or have infractions against the station; get within 7.5 kilometers of the station and try again. If you are still rejected, it may be that the station is full. This quite often happens at the more popular stations and you will have to wait for someone to leave. It could also be because you have been in violation of local laws and have an infraction against you.

If you were acknowledged, the station will tell you what pad number to land at. You now have 10 minutes to land.

=== Docking Request Denied ===

There are multiple reasons why a docking request gets denied.

; Distance

When the distance from you to the station is too large, then a message will tell you to get closer than 7.5 kilometers. When you are close enough you can try again.

; Request from within the station.

When you are trying to land and abort the landing for some reasons, you cannot make another docking request from within tha station. In that case get out of the station and make another docking request.

; Station is full

This quite often happens at the more popular stations and you will have to wait for someone to leave, or find another Star Port to land.

; [[Fine]]s

When you made a violation against the Station Policy, you will get a fine. Violations include

* trying to land without Docking Permission

* trying to land on the wrong [[Landing Pad]]

* transporting goods that are illegal on this Station

* speeding in the Dock

* opening your weapons bay within the no fire zone

To pay the fine, you must find another Star Port within that Star System that still allows you to land.

If you are not allowed to land on any Space Station within this star system, you may be able to pay the fine when you get killed.
