Re: Royal Navy Patrol Waystation 4134
The concept was, that is is not manned. It is like a Ranger Outpost in the wilderness.

Re: Royal Navy Patrol Waystation 4134
VOID is correct.
The Type 4457-A station is automated and is designed so that it may be put into a hibernation mode and left to its own devices, sometimes for years, and can be reactivated and ready for habitation in a couple of hours.
However, the staggered stopover schedules mean the Royal Navy waystation generally only goes unoccupied for a couple of days at a time.

Re: Royal Navy Patrol Waystation 4134
I love it. But who's responsible for restocking it? And does these tired spacers have to pay in order to take a load off at this place?

Re: Royal Navy Patrol Waystation 4134
It is a military station. It is restocked by those who use it. Much like a Rangers hut in the wilderness.
Crews bring supplies with them, leave some there and so on. Every once in a while, a supply ship might drop off some more.
That is not a public station, so those who use it don't pay for doing so. Private stations of such a kind will exist too. Actually quite a lot of them. But the owners will live on them to make sure everyone pays.

Re: Royal Navy Patrol Waystation 4134
You would not want to be caught by the Blackstalkers at their waystation. It's their private clubhouse, and it's located in a restricted stretch of space where you'd have no business being. You'd spend most of the next month in the 1m by 1m holding cell on a Sharisa until they can offload you at their home base.
However, you could use the stock version of the station (lacking the guns, and with normal-size fixtures) as general purpose waystation, such as a secret meeting spot for a loosely affiliated band of smugglers, or a rest-stop in the middle of a long sublight journey (that IS why I made a stock version and left instructions on how to expand it). In that case, the resupply and pricing arrangements would be up to you, your party, or your GM.
