Hi guys

just a small question, i've played the game for a week now and i absolutely love it. i reached the part where i'm able to build stations. now i read in the instruction the when u build a station(and get a license for it) it should protect you from hostiles right? i've build a station in pearl(hostile for me) and i've been shot down will docking and i haven't seen any pew pew going around.....
please tell me if there is something wrong with what i did.
thanks

If you got the deploy constructor, all you need is to build an array shield around your station for your safety.

Until you're actually docked, you will be attacked by hostile forces. Also, if an enemy ship is within cannon range, he will attack. Otherwise, you're safe.

Also, after you dock, push the ENTER STATION button and this will protect you unti you wish to leave.

That procedure should work at any station, even if you don't have a license for it.

The three most used war zones are above the northern star systems: Cerulean, Talison ... and the one over on the upper-left. After entering one of the systems, look for an access gate in the far upper part of the nav map.

War zones are north of Sierra,and Cerulean,Talison and Pearl. Open your nav map and you will see them in the Quadrant.

Careful though - if you stay inside for a long time when you come out it can look like red snow on your HUD and radar!

be ready to enter a quicjk jump coord and jump into clear space

Your civilian crew will go look for work elsewhere if you decide to mothball your civilian ship for a military one. Sorry.

lol, they got scared? xD

btw if i docked my other ship in a station that i have a license for, will i pay hunger fees?

You never pay hunger fees at Starbucks or Denny's. But you will pay hangar fees if you store something there.
