Starting at the orbital teleport lets you reach trade terminals and mission areas without any backtracking, which is pretty helpful when youre planning your routes. The old bridge problem actually teaches us a lot about making these paths work smoothly and its interesting to see how it applies here. Most facilities connect through main corridors that branch out from the docking bay, and youll want to keep track of which paths lead where since some routes are definitely more efficient than others.

If youre looking to make the most of your station visits, try hitting the ground floor facilities first before heading up to the specialized terminals and merchants. The teleporter placement near the main hub makes it easy to pop in and out when needed, and experienced travelers usually plan their facility visits in a circle to avoid crossing paths unnecessarily. Good to know that upgrading your suit or trading gear is best done right after docking since those terminals are closest to the landing pads (assuming you're at a pirate sector).

Remember that new features get added to stations over time so keeping an eye on the layout changes can save you some walking around later. The more you visit different stations the more youll notice how their designs follow similar connection patterns making it easier to navigate even unfamiliar ones without getting lost.
