I did purchased Evochron Renegade and while it was fun, I didn't like getting attacked while docked at a space station. I would think a space station would have some sort of protection (Space Police?) to protect it and it's valuable customers. So, since I haven't tried the demo form Evochron Legends yet, I was hoping that while docked at a station (even a station on a planet) that it would offer some sort of protection.

Here are the conditions you won't (or at least won't likely) be attacked while docked:
- Cloaked
- While you are in the shipyard or storage hangar
- If no hostiles are nearby
- If you own a license
If you are just sitting in the docking hangar, you're still out in the open and are vulnerable to attack. You will need to plan ahead to dock safely if you intend to just hang out in the open space hangar indefinitely.

Sorry Mcduke, but you will still be attacked while in the station.
This was done deliberately to prevent, "loitering" and just hiding in the sration.
You have two options, You can buy the station and that will provide protection as well as discounts on merchandise, both buying & selling.
Or, you can enter the ship building menu and won't be fired upon there. But rest assured, either way, the dreaded "reds" will still be waiting for you when you leave.
There are several in-game tactics you can do that can alleviate this problem.
But, the stations "hanger bay" is open territory. Btw, you can fire back as well!
Have fun...

One perk of a station license is that you won't get shot at, but you can shoot at reds while parked. lol.

Honestly, its good practice to learn 'hot docking' and fast inventory management. You're vulnerable to attack while docked due to your 0 speed. If you want to pause, either fly somewhere safe or use the Shipyard.
