A small and relatively modest base for fighters and bombers commonly found along trade routes in the asteroid belt. The Palisade Fighter Support Outpost is capable of rapidly relocating to deliver it's four fighters to conflict zones and sites of criminal activity. These outposts are usually specialised, carrying a squadron of Wasps for anti-fighter duties or a squadron of Locusts for engaging larger vessels.

While these outposts can deter small scale piracy, they are no match for a warship and should use their Jump Drives to retreat to a safe distance if engaged. However, in numbers, these relatively cheap outposts can support many small ships and their usefulness should not be underestimated.

Small grid turret collision boxes are ridiculously oversized which can lead to issues when parking and taking off with the Wasp II. You can land it ok if you are careful, but it's very tight. Until Keen get their act together and fix it, I would strongly recommend using this mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=647879048

I try to make all my ships suitable for use in survival, if you use my ships and find a bug/problem, let me know.

Just in case you are interested, here's the story behind this station. It was more or less completed about 6 months ago. It was originally conceived as a respawn point for a dogfighting scenario. Each player would have four fighters and when they ran out of ships/lives, they lost. I didn't really think anyone would run out of ammo as this was prior to inventory mass, the old fighters could hold tons of the stuff, so I didn't think docking was really a big concern :S Well, since scenarios were never really completed and MP is still a mess, I never took the idea any further. I fact, I forgot about all about this thing...

So fast forward a bit to last week. I'd recently released some fighters, and fighters need a support ship. My upcoming carrier is massive and so it's going to take quite a while to finish. Like Artemis, it will probably be of little use to your average survival player anyway due to it's cost, so I figured I should try to do something smaller. While I was scrolling through my BP list, I noticed this station, so I thought I'd check it out. When I did I soon realised it would not take too much updating to support the new fighters. So I modified the hangar design a little, slighty improved the looks, repainted, updated broken code and put it on the workshop as this week's release. I never expected much interest, but here we are, on the front page. Thanks for that community! Since it has been way more popular than I thought, I'll definitely be building a better station soon, with bigger hangars. :D
