The '''Access Corridor''' is an entrance and airlock. It is also named Mailslot as a result of its distinctive shape, wider than it is tall. It's estimated 222 meters wide and 52 meters high. Station [[Defence Turrets]] guard the entrance and is inscribed with the text "Loitering is a crime."
An '''Access Corridor''', colloquially known as a "Mailslot" due to its distinctive shape, is an airlock that serves as the main point of entry for [[Coriolis]], [[Ocellus]], [[Orbis]], and [[Asteroid Base]] [[station]]s. Access Corridors are approximately 222 meters wide and 52 meters high, and are guarded by [[Defence Turrets]] that will open fire on any loitering ships.

This is a table of which ship can perform a 360° roll in the Access Corridor for dire situations. Note that the slot can be a different size in different types of station, thus some ships may be able to perform a roll on an [[Orbis]] or [[Ocellus]] [[starport]] but not a [[Coriolis]] station.{{Cite}}

== Blast doors ==
A common misconception of Access Corridors is that their constricting shape is arbitrary, and therefore makes entry into stations more difficult than necessary. In fact, Access Corridors are narrow in order to accommodate blast doors. These blast doors are almost never seen because they are locked open pending a future game update, but on rare occasions a bug can cause them to close and obstruct entry to a station or destroy a CMDR's ship. It is currently unknown what purpose the blast doors will ultimately serve or when they will be fully implemented.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/103327-So-the-stations-have-closable-blast-doors-on-the-front?s=0d71794b21c76a6f2311fdb647591193&p=1602409&viewfull=1#post1602409 Frontier Forums: So the stations have closable blast doors on the front?]</ref>
