Nope, I don't think so, here's a very, very rough image I just threw together:

Our familiar cuboctahedron stations have four support struts on the docking face - one on each corner of the square face. I can see two clearly on this image, and despite the lighting, there are slight hints of another two, which suggests that the face is square, and the angled sections which make it *look* like a pentagon could actually be the triangle faces of the cuboctahedron.

Bah, I think you're right. With that overlay, I can see it. Looking on my phone both the front surface and the inner ring looked like pentagons. .

This reminds me back around launch, i filed asupport ticked complaining that in their blurb we would be docking at the iconic dodecahedron stations and yet these were not in game.

i have no idea if it was ever fixed.

(but if it was their shop wasnt!)

"Probably the most iconic dodecahedron in the universe!"

edit..

nope. still wrong!

"The Coriolis is the iconic dodecahedron Starport from Elite."

that is it, the game will surely fail! ;)
