There are also starbases on the surface of some planets and moons. You can dock with, trade at, and perform repairs to your ship at any friendly or neutral facility. Stations will usually refuse docking clearance if there are hostiles (or inbound missiles) in the region. This is so that the launch bays are used by its own fighters as they engage the enemy in the region. Once the region is safe, you will be allowed to dock as normal. In space, you can dock your Battlecruiser, Interceptor, or Shuttle with a starstation. On a planet or moon surface, you can dock your Interceptor, Shuttle, or ATV with a starbase. If you dock while you have a ship in tow, you will be asked by the station if you would like to deliver the towed object to the station. If you say "yes", then the ship will remain at the station when you launch. If there was a reward, this will be credited to your account. If you say "no", then the ship will remain in tow when you launch from the station. You can also dock an Interceptor or Shuttle with the Battlecruiser provided that the docking bays for the ship are operational. If the shuttle is towing one of your own crafts, the towed craft will also be docked automatically if the shuttle is under AI control. If towing your craft using the Battlecruiser tractor beam, once captured, you will be prompted to bring the craft on-board. If you say "yes" and the docking bay supporting the ship is operational, the ship will then be docked. If you say "no", the captured ship will remain in space.
