Locating space stations

[Kelban]

Ok outside of the one time a quest sent me to a space station with a quest marker I can not locate the space stations when i warp to them. I open map and map is even blank and I find no way to place a waypoint to it. Am i missing something or what?

Not all orbits will have a space station aka trade station

Install a Deco Radar on your ship. Then you can use the Map command in the console to reveal the locations of things in the sector.

*Deco radar not required. :D

If you go to a "trade station" area on the sector map, the trade station will be near the center of the playfield. You can place a waypoint and manually edit its coordinates to 0,0,0 and then fly to it and you should find the station.

Something else I have found in one of the asteroid belts. I found a Polaris trade station just flying around looking for ore but it never showed on map if I left the area of it, but I found 2 Zirax Empire stations and they show on the radar 100% of the time no matter where i am. Of course that is only faction im hostil towards

Trade stations and the Zirax stations use a different way of spawning them in the game. It's a little buggy at the moment I think.

Manually add trade stations and resource asteroid waypoints as you discover them. They will not be on your map when you get out of range otherwise.
