I didn't realize it before but a lot of systems have no stations. Seems obvious. I'm trying to find my way to Sol, started around Aquilea or something (a blue star). So I just went for it and just in time realized I was planning a route that would probably leave me stranded (somewhere around a 'core system' star). Could just about make it to a star with one station something like "Dah-din survey' or something. Main tank was empty when I docked. The place is cool it has loads of billboards and stuff sort of like a truck stop in the middle of nowhere. I love this game.

When I first got Gamma, I decided to go to Polaris. Great! Back then there was no route planner and I jumped manually. Along the way I noticed the traffic dwindle, then the stations disappeared? I figured there must be life at Polaris, right? Got there ok but only got half way back. Fantastic way to understand the fuel tank system, main tank and secondary tank. I realised I could no longer jump, so I pointed the ship away from the star and hoped there was a station out there. I watched the secondary tank empty, then my air ran out. Great way to learn how the self destruct system works, and the insurance!!!
Best game ever, IMO.
