Ship docks, CQC structures and other new in-game assets

Cheers guys ... now added to the list. Attacked prison ship eh? Bet the Tharg's managed to suck lots of juicy meat out of that one ... you know how overcrowded those things get.

I've found another "Aquarius Class Tanker ALF-895", destroyed, at HIP 17225 A 2. No idea what is going on here. I will check whether the other one is still there at HIP 17962.
 
As reported on Discord (Shadow Dracul): Unauthorised Installation at Istanu 1F:

Not sure if this is common - you can fly inside by bumping bulkheads like this:

Bring a small ship, quite cosy in an ASP. Lots on NPCs around. There are 4 Data Uplinks.

So how do you find these things - just by randomly happening upon them?
I'm really confused, I assumed back from Frontier announced new stations etc. that they would be placed around habitable space, not really rare so that only a fraction of players actually get to see them. Seems like a weird waste of assets? Why are asteroid bases etc. so rare?

There are sometimes mentions of or hints to their location in Galnet, and some sites can lead to others. Additionally things are often found near obvious POI, asteroid bases tends to be in prominent nebulae for instance.

Edited to add:

I'm not sure whether this will be a permanent POI, I suspect it won't, but I found this scene of carnage behind a Distress Call in HR 1185 A 1.

A little something for our OP, I garnered a picture of the Jack's Town asteroid base in Felkan.

Oh and sidenote, there's a weird repeated line in the asteroid-bases section, between Moore's charm and Mammon monitoring.

Lowell Class Science Vessel
At Irusan 2, near the Drive Yards.
It shows up as an untitled POI.

Seriously?!?! Oh my god ... that is AWESOME.

For those that don't know Cave Johnson is a character from Portal 2, probably my all-time 2nd favourite video game.
