Outpost

What Is It[]

Outposts are a means of Specializing your Station.

• Specifically, each of your Stations should be constructed around the requirements of one of the Tier 4 Outposts.

While Station placement may be dictated by other goals, such as Claiming Victory Points, the Tier 4 Outpost should still be a major consideration.
