It's "a hole" problem...
I am new around here, but I still can't get a grip on why there is no entrance and exits on space stations. The "hole" is retro-designed to look like, or very similar to the space station of 2001 a Space Odyssey, yet that station had only 1 or 2 ships which it accommodated, along with a traffic control for it's entries and exits.
This is not a flame... "I just can't see any reason for such design". If and when ED gets to be an even greater success, "there will be allot more people here and thus causing much more problems than any artistic design over functionality could offer in game complement".
I don't get it... but I do enjoy the game and I'm not a game designer... "so what do I know"... Nada' ... "maybe there's an answer out there"

How do you get two? you need to dock at the central axis of a station, there is only room for one, you can't have on in the wall as you would have to pass through the entire station to get outside/inside, especially on the Coriolis stations. You can't have one on the back wall as that is not the back of the station, just the back of the docking ring, and most stations the back of it is connected to struts and stuff for power and such, among other things. The center of the Station is the ONLY place you can enter a station, there is only room for one entry and exit.

I think they will come out with new station designs, hopefully some multi portal/mailslot ones. I just hope the also allow docking large ships at small stations, maybe without a pad you have to do a docking port or something.

I think the space station he was at must be an outpost. The civilian outpost have two landing pad side by side so maybe he saw that one.

there will never be a "too busy" problem because you never be in an instance with more than 31 other players, thats if you find any outside the 1 or 2 dev-moderated "events" that occasionally pop up, even more so now that they nerfed trading so to make profit traders have to spread out even more.
as to that last part, way to nerf trading/ buff pirating, traders now make less and are forced to be more spread apart, making it even MROE nonviable once wings come out to convoy up for protection, all the while guaranteeing the pirates (whose ships only have a fraction of the cargo sapce traders do, so enough loot for all) have NO drawbacks to teaming up for easy-mode kills on traders.
honestly, open should just be converted to a queueable arena, since pvp is all its good for, since trading is just waiting around to get ganked
You may have noticed, there is a force-field at the entrance to allow climate control within the station, it needs to be small.
