The entrance will always be located at the end of the axis of rotation that spins counter-clockwise when you are facing the starport. It is possible to line up the approach vector with the front of the station while in supercruise using the hologram to gauge position, allowing a pilot to drop from supercruise facing the station's entrance.Īside from the hologram, an alternative method of locating the entrance is to observe the starport's axis of rotation after arriving. To remedy this the target hologram displayed when targeting the station has arrows pointing towards the station's entrance. Docking Main article: Dockingĭue to the symmetrical nature of Coriolis stations it can be difficult to find the docking slot.
The independent construction company Steel Castle Inc is known to specialise in modifying Coriolis stations, and in September 3306 it began a campaign to upgrade a number of refinery outposts into Coriolis models at the request of Brewer Corporation. A second variant with four "arms" was introduced with Cavalieri in Electra. In rare cases, a Coriolis will also feature two "arms" extending from opposite facets of the main structure, as seen with Smith Reserve in LDS 883. The exterior of the Coriolis consists of inverted skyscrapers, where penthouses provide spectacular views of space in addition to comfortable levels of gravity.
By the 3300's, although new Coriolis stations continue to be built both within the Core Systems and out in the frontiers of the Colonia Region and Pleiades Nebula, maintaining them has become more costly as parts have become more difficult to procure or manufacture. When it was first introduced by GalCop, the design had a much smaller diameter of 1 kilometer, but beginning in the 3200's the size was increased. Modern Coriolis stations are cuboctahedrons with a 2-kilometer diameter.
