Info:
Player-Purchasable Bases range to a variety of types – from small rocks to fully operational manufacturing and deposit platforms. They may be purchased by speaking with the bartender of any nearby Station or Planet. Player-Purchasable Bases, while not carrying any direct inventory stock, offer up every type of ammo, gun, and shield, as well as Nanobots and Shield Batteries – owners are charged a cost for having the item shipped to the station, but nothing more. Anyone may purchase any station, provided they have the funds – this includes if someone else already owns it. If you find yourself sharing a station with someone, either learn to get along, or fight for it. Anyone who does not have access to the station will be fired upon. The nature of these stations makes them choice spots for independent piracy operations, especially if near a Trade Lane; the added bonus of having it fire upon your enemies makes it a dependable escape destination, in case an assault goes wrong and you or your group have too much in pursuit to handle. Finally, every Player-Purchasable Base also features a ship of your choosing for sale, as well as the Repair Ship, which is a reliable craft capable of repairing full-size Battleships and Stations with ease – essential for many operations deep in hostile territory.
