What's the difference between space center and space station?

the game doc don't have definitions for them.

i get confuse easily

are these the same thing, or
a space center is an area inside a station, or
a space station is an area inside a space center

i like to own one for the storage of my products or use it as a trading platform for my products.
how to go able that?

I think space center is in your country, and space station its on outer space.

Space Stations can only be owned by the game master and you can lease docks on specific ones. Space stations cost GC to rent out spaces, and certain stations sell certain items.

Space centers are spaceports. I would recommend one per city and put each next to your cities. You can store stuff inside of them, load up shuttles, then send them off to---

Space stations to sell your stuff. Mind you, rarely anything is bought or sold in stations. It's recommended that you use them to transport goods (such as weapons/ammo/other much-needed goods) between nations/enterprises you own on other countries. As for enterprises, I buy 1 per 50 corporations you own.

Space Centers of enterprises can safely store items, safe from losing them from invaders, while countries have many because if one dies, they don't wanna be left in the dark. I have 17 in my country because it's hard to destroy all of them and cut me off from supplies from my other empires.

thanks for explaining

space center = planet based, and i owned

space station = in space, gm owned

which one has unlimited storage space, and not consider for the expenses of your country as described in the game docs?

Space center, one on a planet. Remember: 1 per city, 1 for the capital, 1 per 40 corporations and 1 per 3 military installations on your own turf is what I do. I have 25, to keep track, I name them X Commercial Spaceport for X city. X military space port. X industreal, and X International for any others.

thanks,
i just want to put all my military wares in them. will those militar wares be safe? such as hydrogen bombs

Not if the center gets destroyed.

Enterprise space centers are the safe ones, as they are well-hidden and cannot be found.

@starfoth,
then i have to become a ceo too then.

what if the country you have your space centers in are at wars, do they get distroy or taken over by the winner?

I'm not sure, never faced a space empire before

If you wanna be a CEO, come on down to LU or WG.

WG is big and LU is good for business

is lu the fastest turning planet?
