-Space Stations in StarMade provide a vital gameplay function separate from Space Ships. They act as completely immobile platforms for players to use in a plethora of ways chief among them is being a base of operations. Unlike ships, Space Stations have an exclusive category of blocks that can only be placed on them. Any and all attempts to place these [[:Category:SpaceStation|"Station Only"]] blocks on a ship will result in an error message. These blocks allow stations to assume special important utility roles that ships just can not fill. These include [[Warp Gate|Fast travel]], [[Production|block production]], [[Undeathinator|respawn points]] as well as many more.

These includes all [[:Category:Effect|effects]], [[Scanner Computer|scanners]], [[Jump Drive Computer|jump drives]], as well as both [[Cloaker]]s and [[RadarJammer]]s.'''</U> Other systems can only be used on Space Stations via [[Logic Signals]].
 Space Stations at their most basic level operate as artificial [[Planet]]s without the native gravity effects. Thankfully unlike planets space stations can be placed anywhere in the universe. Every sector has a limit on how many stations can occupy it. The default number is '''one''' however this can be adjusted in the [[Server.cfg]] file. This hard cap can also be overridden by using the <code>/Load</code> admin command.

 '''Space Stations''' are stationary structures which may be found or [[Player Stations#Station Construction|built]] in space and can play a variety of roles including, but not limited to: docking, storage, combat platforms, safe havens and even platforms for roleplaying.  The possibilities are endless. There are three categories of stations, based on ownership and faction relations: [[Player Stations]], [[Derelict Stations]] and [[Pirate Stations]].

 ==Randomly Generated Stations==
-As players explore the universe they will inevitably encounter numerous naturally generated space stations littered throughout the various systems. Every [[System]] has many sectors that are dedicated to spawning in one of 15 pre-built space stations. Ownership of these 15 stations are divided up between the [[Trading Guild]], the Pirates (As of Version 0.199.472 is still a separate faction from the [[Scavengers]]), and being abandoned. Depending on the faction affiliation of the station players will have different ways to interact with them. Each Station was designed and built by a member of the StarMade Community and were voted on in an [https://starmadedock.net/threads/closed-contest-default-stations-submission.2029/ Official Station Contest].

Some of these stations have been redesigned by Schine to update them and reincorporate them into the current faction system.
-Discovering the location of any of these stations can either be done through blind exploration or using a [[Scanner Computer|Scanner]] to map out the entire system. Sectors that contain a space station will be marked with a [[File:Space Station Map Icon.png]] icon. However these icon does not indicate what kind of station it is and highlighting the station icon on the map will label it as "Undiscovered Station". The only way to find out is for players to fly to the sector and discover for themselves.

 ===Trading Guild Stations===
 These stations belong to the [[Trading Guild]]. While the trading guild will protect them they are not treated the same as [[Shop]]s and players cannot purchase blocks from them. They are mostly for decoration and exploration. Certain stations have areas that cannot be accessed as the station is under faction protection and may not contain [[Public Permission Module]]s.

 ===Pirate Stations===
-These stations belong to the Pirates. Pirates are a hostile faction that will attack the player on site. Prior to the formal introduction of the [[Scavengers]] in version 0.199.349, pirates were the primary enemy faction. Their stations still exist and will spawn as of Version 0.199.472. These stations will always be hostile to players and will attack them on site with their turrets.

These stations will always be hostile to players and will attack them when able with their turrets.
 If players are close to any of these stations they will periodically send out raid fleets to attack the player at their current location. To "Destroy" these stations players must aim for the [[Faction Module]] hidden somewhere on the station. Once the faction module has been destroyed then the station will no longer be considered a pirate station and will gain a (Decayed) state similar to Derelict Stations.
@@ Line 56: / Line 65: @@
 These Stations are abandoned and are up for grabs. Derelict Stations are decaying stations that are considered neutral to all factions. All stations will spawn with the "(Decayed)" state meaning that any block that is removed from it will only yield [[Scrap Alloy]] or [[Scrap Composite]]. Salvaging entire stations are a good way to build up stock resources to create [[Alloyed Metal Mesh]]s and [[Crystal Composite]]s.
-In order for players to claim these stations they must first refurbish them. Refurbishing a derelict station will cost the player a sum of money equivalent to the base value of every block that station is made up of. Once refurbished the station will function like a normal player built station and there will be no restriction on removing blocks from it.
