Hi I am a very new player and I have a lot to learn. I built a space station but I am un sure on how to get it into space. I know that the planet has a launch button but I am not sure if they can be done for space stations. Their is a wrench with a line though it next to it name when I click on it. Do I need a specific kind of tech to lunch it?

Othello,

When you click on it (Crain) Base Ship Yard, you may add designs you have already made, so they may be built. Base Hull with a SPACE YARD component is a good BSY design plus any extras.

The the (wrench and Screw driver) may represent a Repair Base Station, this is to help repair and upgrade ships and is set on a Base Hull with a Repair Bay Component. This sounds like what you may have built.

Both above, and all Bases and Ships can be built from a Planets Space Yard Facility or a BSY as I desribed above.
When Bases or Ships are built, they will appear in orbit where they were built. As was your Repair Base.

-----
The launch button would be to Launch any Sats, Mines or Fighters that may be on the Planet or as Cargo in a Ship or Carrier.

You also may Recover Sats or Fighters that have been launched.



Launch - Lunch, now I am hungry
