===Starports===

All starports rotate to generate centripetal ~~force~~, which acts as gravity for its crew and citizens and as a hazard for docking pilots. As the player approaches the starport's entry port, focus on centering the ship with the port first, so as not to crash into the starport's walls. Once the ship has been centered on the port, start rotating the ship to match that of the starport's rotation - alternatively this can be accomplished by turning "rotational assistance" to "on" in the functions tab in the right menu. Keep in mind that most ships are wider than they are tall.

The entry ports (commonly called "access corridors" by the public service announcements that can be heard in the docking bay, and colloquially "letterbox" or "mail slot") can be a congested location with ships passing in both directions. There is currently no traffic control and players should stay alert to avoid crashing into other ships. Some ship captains have adopted the protocol of turning on ship lights when docking to make themselves more visible as well as always traversing the side of the entry port marked by the green lights. Although, this is not always possible for some of the bigger ships as they can have a hard time fitting through the entrance slot.
