Within each inner system is a Space Station(SS). These stations are a hub for trade in the local area, consisting of a Galactic Market, Local Market, Contract Board, and a Shipyard.

Once you dock, you will see the Space Station interface appear.

It will first ask you if you want to pay to repair any damage your ship may have sustained. This can be from combat, or hyperdrive wear.
Auto Repair can be turned on in Options at any time.

After any repair is addressed, you will see the SS interface. Ssinterface.png

Contract Board

The contract board lists available jobs, of varying reward. See Contracts page for more information.

Place Sell Order

This is where you place items on the galactic market for sale

  • Material - Select goods you have in the item hangar to place onto the galactic market stating amount and price per item
  • Ship modules - Sell those modules you have built in your space station or removed from ships that have been upgraded. As modules can only be moved about by being fitted to a ship, they will need to be removed from your ship in the 'Refit Ship' submenu in the 'Shipyard'.
  • Ship - Sell your unused space craft or space craft built at you shipyard. they will need to be in your 'Hangar'

Galactic Market

This is where you can buy goods put up for sale by other players. Being Galactic means you view item located anywhere in the galactic system.

You will have to travel to where the goods are so take note of the location

  • Material - You can buy any item that can be carried in your cargo hold, The items will become available in 'Storage.'
  • Ship Modules - Purchase upgrades for your ship, they will appear in the 'refit ship' menu within the shipyard menu
  • Ships - Purchase whole complete ships other players are selling, they will become available in your 'Hangar'


The easiest method to learn the basics of the Galactic Market:

Local Market

From the market you can buy and sell basic resources. Prices will fluctuate with normal economic flows, availability of resources is dependent on production in that system.

The easiest method to learn the basics of the Local Market: Waervyn's Local Market Video

Refer to Buying & Selling for more information.

Storage

The Item Hanger operates the same way a warehouse does, Materials placed in here can then be selected in the 'Place Sell Order' menu to be put on the 'Galactic market'. When materials are purchased from the 'Galactic Market', they will become available in the 'Item Hangar' at the appropriate Starbase

Hangar

This is where the ships you are currently not using are kept

Refit Ship

Once docked, there is a 'Refit Ship' link. This allows purchased modules to be fitted to your ship and unused modules to be removed.

You will not be able to undock from the space station unless the ship is fully equipped.

Shipyard

Nothing beats 'New Space Craft Smell': you can purchase new Space Ships at the Ship Yard. Like goods and contracts, the prices and availability vary, so if you're looking to upgrade it pays to 'window shop' for a while to get an idea of a good price to expect to pay.

Your old ship will be placed in the Hangar of the space station for your use at a later time if desired

Disembark

This allows the player to disembark the ship and walk around the station.

The first time you disembark you will be asked to select one of 4 available avatars.
Disembark at the SS has no destination at present. This will be for future content.

Exit Station

Clicking this will exit the SS in the current ship selected.
