THE WORLD · STATIONS

Stations & Services

Stations are local infrastructure nodes. Their authored service list, facility tiers and specializations, storage, recovery environment, organization context, market contracts, and any Hangar or Dealer access determine what can actually be done there.

Where you dock changes what you can do.Services are authored per station. A station can lack a facility entirely, operate one at a different tier, specialize in particular materials or research families, charge different fees, or provide different human-recovery conditions.

StorageProvides persistent personal inventory at that exact station. Goods do not follow you automatically.

MarketShows the station-local NPC and player order book where Market service exists.

OutfitterSupports fitting and removing compatible physical equipment from docked ships.

Ore RefineryProcesses compatible raw mineral and volatile feedstocks according to that facility's authored family support and specialties.

Salvage ReclamationHandles compatible recovered salvage feed separately from ordinary Ore Refinery processing.

FabricatorRuns supported non-hull manufacturing and equipment Reverse Engineering jobs.

ShipyardBuilds packaged hulls and handles hull-scale Reverse Engineering where supported.

ResearchSupports survey correlation, Science Study, and physical equipment/hull Science enhancement; family specializations can change input, time, or fees.

TrainingProvides authored Captain-development infrastructure where present.

PersonnelRecruit and manage Crew where Crew service is available.

MedicalProvides persistent station treatment with authored recovery, stabilization, critical-care, and patient-capacity values.

RepairRestores damaged ships and installed components up to their current physical limits for credits.

HANGARS & SHIP DEALERS

Not every station function is a normal service entry.

Personal Hangar access is authored separately from the service list and can include purchase price, owned storage, berth count, transient capacity, and personnel-reserve capacity. Ship Dealer inventory is another separate station surface. Do not assume a station has either just because it has Market, Shipyard, or Outfitter service.

RECOVERY ENVIRONMENT

Docking can also change how people recover.

Stations can author passive rest quality and stress relief independently from Medical service. A comfortable commercial hub and a bare frontier anchorage can therefore support the same ship differently even before anyone enters a clinic.

LOCAL IDENTITY

A station is defined by the services and specialties it actually has.

Resource geography, local industry, manufacturers, organization operation, market contracts, research specialties, and recovery infrastructure are authored together so stations do not become interchangeable copies of the same menu.
