Oolite Stations

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.

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 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!).

Unfinished OXP stations

Amaranth's Refinery station	BioSphere station	Cloud city	Inside Okti's massive colony
Gsagostinho's station experiments	Hathor Trade Station	Mandotech shipyards	Draven's Oodulldorf Station at Galaxy 6: Veisin only
Ryan's villa at Galaxy 5: Cesousla only	Solar Harvest's solar station	Tetiri Planet Ring at Galaxy 5: Tetiri only	Zieman's Habitat Orbital Station

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, Mandotech revolves in different circles... Happily, Montana05 is working on some of these.
