Ships that requires big landing-pads can't land on outposts?

[keem85]

I'm about to buy a new trading ship that requires a big landing pad, and I was wondering about theese small outposts. Is it so that I cannot land on them? If so, how do I find a suitable trading-route with big landing pads? I'm also using Slopey's tool, but there you cannot choose landing pads it seems

Only Small and Medium for those outposts. Large requires full stations.

But how do you know if a location is an outpost or not? And how do you find trading-routes with full stations only?

If you look on the system map, you can the difference in icons between the main stations and the outposts. The stations look like the Corolias, and the outposts look like a vice/drill - at least to me.

In system map view and in left panel interface before station name you see a sign. A squareish one is a coriolis station, round one is orbis/ocelus and something in "L" shape is an outpost

Thanks! But does any of you use Slopey's tool? If so, how do you exclude outposts from your searches?

You can't exclude them. Just check them on map if they are outposts or stations.
