Player-owned Space Stations, Moons, and Planets
PLANETS, MOONS, AND SPACESTATIONS:Q: What do I need to get a planet, moon, or spacestation?
A: For spacestations, you need 10 billion credits and 10000 points. For moons, you need 20 billion credits and 15000 points. For planets, you need 30 billion credits and 25000 points. You also pay additional fees for each room you add.
Q: Where can I put my spacestation, planet, or moon?
A: In any sector, including places out of local space, except sector 24, sector 15, sector 9, sector 13, sector 19, and sector 30. These sectors are subject to change and can be added to at any time.
Q: What can these fine places have?!
A: They can have an optional pool, an optional hot tub, and an optional private garage. You also may have a security center which allows you to control flight control and monitor rooms on the station, planet, or moon. You can also have a room that monitors the sector around your station, planet, or moon. Additionally, you're allowed to have two custom food stores for a station, three custom food stores for a moon, and five custom food stores for a planet. Any additional food stores will have to be a tradesman item. You may have a transport pod as long as the station, planet, or moon is not out of local space. Player-owned space stations, planets, and moons cannot contain facilities that allow for point transfers to take place, including artifact research centers, passenger transport facilities, etc. Stations, planets and moons cannot be self-contained. This means you cannot design a station that eliminates your need to travel to other planets to obtain specific services or goods. Example: starship registries.
Q: Can my station be armed?!?!
A: Sorry, no.
Q: Can I keep people out of my station, planet, or moon?
A: You can control flight control which will deny docking to a whole alliance or specific ships based on your choice. However, if you have a transport pod, they can use it to get on your station. You can have a security checkpoint through which only authorized people can pass. This can be handled with biometrics or with a password.
Q: Transport pods?! Oh my oh my! What do they entail?!
A: You can get a transport pod that goes to ONE destination with your spacestation. Any additional destinations will need to be a tradesman item. Remember that transport pods work two ways: to get people off the station and to get people on the station. Place it accordingly. (Ex: Don't put it after your security checkpoint.) You can not get a transport pod if your station, planet, or moon is out of local space.
