I think he means stations.... but it is never going to happen.

What possible purpose would this serve?

GmanharmonWhiplash 1983And this has confounded me long enough.
Why do some ship console puppets of the Coriolis stations have those arrow like darts on their sides pointing to the station port opening, and other Coriolis stations puppets do not? Is there something different about those stations?
Are they Coriolis stations with the extra arms? Some have 2, and one has 4, but the system it's in escapes me.
No.
Not the axial kind.
Ever been wanged by one of those rod-ends. Sends you spinning.
No, these are just ordinary Coriolis Stations (DoDo's).
I'll do up a post, show them and provide exact Station/System locations.
I Bet I can find a system where they both present.

Swcc-22no i mean the satellites yes a please don't get angry with me please
I have no idea what satellites you're referring to nor do I know why we'd need ownership of one.

Swcc-22never mined about the satellites
ok then lets talk about fleet carriers
No no, you were originally invested in the idea of "player owned satellites". I'm genuinely curious as to what benefits you think that could bring the player.

Sadly, there isn't much to talk about until Frontier rolls out some details on them.
Congratulations on the longevity of your new wing, by the way.

What do you mean by "satellite" and why do you think it's important to own one?

John Mathurin (Xeknos)We're going to hold your feet to the fire on this one. People should not be allowed to spew word salad and then change the subject when called out on it.
What do you mean by "satellite" and why do you think it's important to own one?
One man's word salad is another's reasonable fluency in a foreign language. Cut the guy (presumably?) some slack there.
I'm also curious about the value of owned satellites. I suspect a misunderstanding. Did they mean outpost as opposed to station maybe? The only satelites I've seen are either points of interest for tourism or nav beacons - or the crashed ones with scannable data points.

"... confounded me long enough.
Why do ship-consoles display (sometimes) Coriolis station puppets with darts on their sides?"
System navigation targeted, Gray/White Puppet with no port entrance locator dart markers displayed.
-
Local targeted (affter drop) (Weapons style lock-on), Orange/Highlight puppet showing port entrance locator dart markers.
Coriolis (Dodo) stations only.

Normally I would absolutely agree with your first sentence, but swcc-22 has claimed that English is his native language. I am now thinking that very young age and inexperience is at play.
