Sector Stations

Sector Stations are large, modular space structures deployed in deep-space sectors.

A deployed Sector Station transforms an otherwise undeveloped sector into a semi-autonomous zone of industrial activity. Once operational, the station becomes the anchor point for asteroid field generation and regional infrastructure. Its influence extends across several key gameplay systems:

Warp Point Access: Each Sector Station establishes a warp point within the star map, enabling players to navigate directly into the sector. This warp point acts as a gateway for traffic and trade, increasing the sector’s visibility and accessibility across the star system.
Asteroid Field Generation: Upon deployment, Sector Stations trigger the procedural generation of asteroids within their vicinity. These asteroids contain various ores and resources which can be mined by any player who warps into the sector. While open to all, these mining activities benefit the station owner through embedded mechanics that link station presence with economic yield.
Docking Infrastructure: Once established, Sector Stations provide docking access for visiting ships. Players can anchor and manage their fleets within the sector, enabling more efficient coordination of mining, repairs, and resource logistics.
Resource Storage & Management: Sector Stations serve as local storage facilities where resources mined within the sector can be safely deposited. This minimizes the need for players to immediately return to central hubs, encouraging prolonged mining and operational activity in remote regions. Players can utilize hauling ships to transport collected resources between their Sector Stations and Main Station, establishing intrastelar trade routes and logistics chains.
Modular Station Services: Sector Stations can be expanded with additional components to unlock key services for visiting ships:
- Ship Repair Bays – Enabling players to restore hull integrity without leaving the sector.
- Refueling Platforms – Allowing for on-site fuel replenishment.
- Manufacturing Terminals – future components and station types may allow small-scale production or processing directly within the sector.

Deployment requires a dedicated transport vessel, such as a hauler-class ship or any ship with sufficient cargo capacity to carry the station’s structural components.

Operating a Sector Station requires ongoing fuel consumption, with multiple fuel blocks consumed over time to maintain core systems such as warp point accessibility asteroid field stability, docking services, and active infrastructure modules. Efficient operation will require planning and supply management, reinforcing the strategic role of hauling and resource logistics in long-term station sustainability
