Stations

Space stations are located on or in orbit around planets within an inhabited system. After a hyper jump you land somewhere in the target system, but then have to fly to a station. The stations and the planets of the target system are listed on the "Stations" screen. The screen lists the object position number (from inside to outside) of the planet, the planet name, the distance to the sun and respective stations and their positions (distance from the planet). A station may be on the surface of the planet - then it is a ground station - or has a certain distance to the planet, it's a space station. The stations can then be accessed with the buttons:

  • Fly to the station: (orange) Returns the station as a destination station, and immediately flies off.This flight takes place in a normal room and can be interrupted any time by simply typing a different target.
  • Target as destination: Targets this station as a destination, but doesn't start flight.

Planetary information is available by clicking the link (the number/name of the planet).

It should also be noted that the system displayed is always the current "target". One can therefore look at other systems using the system target functions. Furthermore, you can choose to target or fly to a station within your current/destination system at any time, even if you have already selected a station to fly to and later change your mind (this function is also available during hyperspace flight).
