Built a depot but it attacks me when I get near (am I missing something?)

Hi folks,

Just realised that one of the hubs I build (I think refinery hub) just straight up starts shooting at me when I get near - I don't have a negative reputation with the faction that control it so no idea why there's hostilities. I'm guessing that you can't dock at hubs which is why the screen says docking offline? - there's no other reason I can think of. Any thoughts?

The description confuses me further as it suggests that small trades can be made but how's that possible if you can't dock?

Yes - hubs don't have docking pads, and have fairly wide trespass zones for ships. They're the surface equivalent of an Installation.

Some of them are a bit less worried about you getting close in a SRV and you can sneak up and steal some data from them (or get a mission to do that)

Ah I see, I wonder why that description mentions about cargo trades if that's technically not true (unless just an oversight?)

Looks like that's been carelessly copied from the Settlement description, and since no-one's cared much about hubs before it's not been a priority to fix.

So hubs are just for point generation then?
