In order to the following conditions must be met for a successful docking to occur:

• Target must have a docking bay with enough volume and weight capacity.
• Target must be at the same location as target (or adjacent to a facility if you are at street level)
• Target must be on the target`s crewlist

Note
Stations are usually tractored inside ships when converted into wrecks. Stations can only be unloaded in a system or in deep space.
If the system is controlled or if you plan to unload the space station in the orbit of acontrolled planet then you need to have a build permission.

Boarding involves moving your character into a ship, facility, station or vehicle, whether you are on the ground or aboard another ship, facility, station or vehicle.

Conditions:

• If inside a ship or station in space: If you are in the entrance room of the ship/station, you may board any other ship or station at the same location (if on crewlist). Note: stations must have a docking port
• If outside on the ground: You may board any ship (not moving) at the same location (if on crewlist)
• If inside a ship, vehicle, facility or station:
  
  1. If in the docking bay room: You have access to all ships in the target. May board any of them, if on crewlist
  2. If in the hangar bay room: You have access to all vehicles in the target. May board any of them, if on crewlist
  3. If in the entrance room: You have access to all ships and vehicles target. May board any of them, if on crewlist. May also move outside

• If you are in a ship/vehicle inside a bay and unboard, you will arrive in one of the docking/hangar rooms (if any) of the container. If these rooms are not present, then you arrive in the entrance room.
• When you leave a facility you will be placed at the same position at which you entered the facility from.
• If you arrived in the facility via ship, vehicle or other means then you will placed at random on an empty square (not occupied by a facility) adjacent to the facility.

Note
If you are the pilot of a ship or vehicle that is travelling and leave it (going outside or entering a ship or vehicle docked in it), then travel will abort immediately.

These are the current crewlist rules.

• Ship or vehicle pilot is automatically accepted
• Ship or vehicle commander is automatically accepted
• Owner is automatically accepted
• If the container is a space station or facility and the entity is a character, then they must belong to the same faction
• Character is a member of a faction on the crewlist
• In all other cases, the entity must be on the crewlist. The crewlist is an editable list of people or ships/vehicles that may board/dock

If a character is inside a ship which is inside a container (ship, station..), then the character may move out of his ship and will arrive on the container, WITHOUT being on the crewlist.
