There are several distinctions here. Is the station an ''orbital'' station? Is the station the ''main'' orbital station? Is the station a ''GalCop'' station?  
  
 
In the [[Vanilla game]] there are just the three stations and the rock hermits (the top four). You can save your game at any of these. The '''main orbital station''' is the station around the only planet circling the sun.

This all changes when you add in OXPs. You can add in more stations around the planet (''eg'' Superhub or SothisTC). You can also add in more planets some of which may have their own orbital stations (see [[Guide to Ambience OXPs]] - you need OXPs for the planets ''and'' OXPs for the extra stations). You can add in more stations which sit around the witchpoint ([[RRS Waystation]], [[Bank of the Black Monks]], [[S.I.R.F.|System Independent Repair Facility]]) or are positioned at the sun ([[Kiota Stations]], [[CZGF]] & [[SLAPU]]). Et cetera, et cetera.

Note that only the main orbital station has an [[Aegis]] where one is - in theory - protected from the depredations of piracy. And some other oxp's which affect stations only affect the main orbital (''eg'' [[Dock Assist System OXP]] or [[Traffic Lights OXP]]).
  
Not all Oolite Stations are [[GalCop]] stations! The first row ("Coriolis", "Dodo" & "Ico") are. Rock hermits are not. Company stations (''eg'' Aquarian Shipbuilding Corp. HQ) and system stations (''eg'' Astrogulag Penal Colony) are not. But Torus, Globes & Superhubs are. The importance here is for trading in illegal goods. GalCop stations will award you [[Law|illegal or refugee status]] if you leave with illegal merchandise on board. The others won't. GalCop will also have police vipers as defenders (changed by OXPs for some political systems such as Commies or Dictatorships). The others won't.
+
Note that at the time of writing (2021) you cannot save at all stations. This is due to peculiarities in the Oolite game code (in theory, you can save at "stationary stations" - but the definition of "stationary" is ''not'' intuitive!).

These are all [[GalCop]] stations. They appear as the main orbital station and have an [[Aegis]] where one is - in theory - protected from the depredations of piracy. They obey GalCop law and leaving with illegal goods will incur a penalty. They have both a marketplace and a shipyard.

Rock Hermits (if you can find one) are not GalCop stations. One can buy illegal goods without penalty. They have both a marketplace (prices differ from the main orbital station) and a shipyard (again, prices differ).

Some of these are fascinating. Cloud cities orbit gas giants, but docking has not been built in. Okti's colony was to be part of a mission, and one can fly inside it. Mandotech revolves in different circles, as does Zieman's SuperIco. The Hathor is truly beautiful and is a delight to dock at. Some need only a little work to update them.

There are several distinctions here. Is the station an orbital station? Is the station the main orbital station? Is the station a GalCop station?

In the Vanilla game there are just the three stations and the rock hermits (the top four). You can save your game at any of these. The main orbital station is the station around the only planet circling the sun.

This all changes when you add in OXPs. You can add in more stations around the planet (eg Superhub or SothisTC). You can also add in more planets some of which may have their own orbital stations (see Guide to Ambience OXPs - you need OXPs for the planets and OXPs for the extra stations). You can add in more stations which sit around the witchpoint (RRS Waystation, Bank of the Black Monks, System Independent Repair Facility) or are positioned at the sun (Kiota Stations, CZGF & SLAPU). Et cetera, et cetera.

Note that only the main orbital station has an Aegis where one is - in theory - protected from the depredations of piracy. And some other oxp's which affect stations only affect the main orbital (eg Dock Assist System OXP or Traffic Lights OXP).

Note that at the time of writing (2021) you cannot save at all stations. This is due to peculiarities in the Oolite game code (in theory, you can save at "stationary stations" - but the definition of "stationary" is not intuitive!).

Standard stations

These are all GalCop stations. They appear as the main orbital station and have an Aegis where one is - in theory - protected from the depredations of piracy. They obey GalCop law and leaving with illegal goods will incur a penalty. They have both a marketplace and a shipyard.

Other anchorages

Rock Hermits (if you can find one) are not GalCop stations. One can buy illegal goods without penalty. They have both a marketplace (prices differ from the main orbital station) and a shipyard (again, prices differ).

OXP stations

  • Not all Oolite Stations are GalCop stations! Company stations (eg Aquarian Shipbuilding Corp. HQ) and system stations (eg Astrogulag Penal Colony) are not. But Torus, Globes & Superhubs are. The importance here is for trading in illegal goods. GalCop stations will award you illegal or refugee status if you leave with illegal merchandise on board. The others won't.
  • GalCop stations will also have police vipers as defenders (changed by OXPs to other police ships for some political systems such as Commies or Dictatorships).
  • Not all stations have marketplaces. Or shipyards.

Some of these are fascinating. Cloud cities orbit gas giants, but docking has not been built in. Okti's colony was to be part of a mission, and one can fly inside it. Mandotech revolves in different circles, as does Zieman's SuperIco. The Hathor is truly beautiful and is a delight to dock at. Some need only a little work to update them.
