Advice for Ocellus location in system

I'm a little confused as to what you're asking.
Weak links are gained from anywhere in-system regardless of distance if they generate their own preset economy type. This does not seem to apply for Outposts built in space.
Strong links are specifically within imminent proximity to the body (i.e. on or around).
Astronomical bodies do not passively apply their assigned economy type without any outside intervention.
Hope this helps. The relevant thread can be found here, if more information is needed.

If you build it around the star as highlighted, it will not receive any direct influence from the installations and planetary facilities, instead inheriting primarily Military as baseline from the star, and then minor economy influence as “weak links” from everywhere else including B star.
My suggestion would be to put it in orbit of either planet 1 or 2 of the A star, OR the last planet of the B star with 5 surface building slots if it’s not too far or you’re already planning to haul via carrier. Providing you care about the economy anyway. If you just want a T3 station somewhere it doesn’t really matter much but you probably want it as a producer, so… I suggest putting it above a planet.

The star will give the station a Military economy of 1.000000
Each non-port orbital that has an economy, will project that economy at a strength of 0.050000, per.
The numbers represent a proportion, not a percentage as most list it. So having a 1.00 of economy X and 0.05 of economy Y = economy X will out produce and out consume economy Y's consumption and production.
eg - three extraction orbital installations will project one weak link each, culminating in your star-orbiting station having a Military economy of 1.00 and an Extraction economy of 0.15. If there were (and there really isn't) a commodity produced by Extraction that Military consumes, then that commodity should NOT appear in your buy screen at the Star-Station. B/c the military economy outpaces the extraction economy in that station. On the other hand, anything the military economy produces that extraction would normally consume - those commodities should still be available, albeit with less supply that the same station without the extraction economy. However, the numbers vs the prediction is highly variable atm.

That isn't really correct / is an oversimplification, different economies have different supply/demand rates for the same commodity so it is completely possible for a minority economy to overpower the dominant economy.
Yes. But given the post we are discussing this in and the lack of complete and consistent information on the topic, I thought it best to save such concepts for the 102 class discussion. Unless you have a spreadsheet that lays this out somewhere? Because I would love twenty minutes alone with it, if you do.
Unfortunately each body that is star, planet, moon, asteroid belt is self contained here is a visualisation for you. Building inside the boxes will strong link to within the box only. There are no strong links outside the box.There's a lot of boxes and as you can see that slot doesn't have anything else inside it's box so it will not influence anything else in the system if you build a t3 there. Not even a weak link because you can't get a second t3 in that box.
