Thanks Rezaele, these things are handy to know.

Mining bases and refineries are stations. New Cons is a station. Perry is a station. Just planets you cannot land on. All this means, in practical terms, is that once you get close to a planet in a Paradigm and press D you see an image of a generic space station, representing a *Space Elevator Station*, with the Paradigm externally docked to it, as opposed to seeing the planet surface. Pretty simple concept, though it may take a bit of programming to implement.
Also, the screens of a landing pad at mining and refinery bases should be replaced with an externally docked paradigm screen.
So, what it boils down to is having alternative docking screens for capships.
Good enough for me, thanks Chuck

This function doesn't seem to work, at least not on my game. Unless you're assuming it's done automatically just to get through the landing sequence.
