 **scale=** The scale property is used to define the size-scale of the object. The following values are defined:
+	*	**star** : A stellar object, generally one that emits light.
+	*	**world** : An asteroids or world. This scale covers all natural objects smaller than a star.
+	*	**structure** : A stationary artificial structure, such as a station.
+	*	**ship** : A moving artificial structure, generally smaller than a station.
+	*	**flotsam** : A piece of debris or wreckage, generally smaller than a ship.
-  * **star** : A stellar object, generally one that emits light.
+**canAttack=** This specifies whether a station without weapons can attack and should be considered a threat for purposes of targeting. Stations with weapons are automatically considered capable of attacking.
-  * **world** : An asteroids or world. This scale covers all natural objects smaller than a star.
+	***"true"** : Always treat the station like it can attack
-  * **structure** : A stationary artificial structure, such as a station.
+	***"false"** : Always treat the station like it cannot attack
-  * **ship** : A moving artificial structure, generally smaller than a station.
-  * **flotsam** : A piece of debris or wreckage, generally smaller than a ship.
-**canAttack="true"** This specifies that a station without weapons can attack and should be considered a threat for purposes of targeting. Stations with weapons are automatically considered capable of attacking.
 =====Naming=====
 **name=** The name of the station.

 You use a special syntax to have more control over the probability:
-**+attribute|adj**: If adj is positive, we increase the probability of appearing at locations //with// the attribute by adj%. For example, +asteroids|50; increases the chance of appearing at asteroid locations by 50%.
+  * **+attribute|adj**: If adj is positive, we increase the probability of appearing at locations //with// the attribute by adj%. For example, +asteroids|50; increases the chance of appearing at asteroid locations by 50%.  If adj is negative, we //decrease// the probability of appearing at locations //with// the attribute by adj%. For example, +asteroids|-10; sets our probability of appearing at asteroid locations to 0.9 (-10% from standard).
-If adj is negative, we //decrease// the probability of appearing at locations //with// the attribute by adj%. For example, +asteroids|-10; sets our probability of appearing at asteroid locations to 0.9 (-10% from standard).
-**-attribute|adj**: This is the same as above, but adjusts the probability only for locations //without// the attribute.
+  * **-attribute|adj**: This is the same as above, but adjusts the probability only for locations //without// the attribute.
 **enemyExclusionRadius=** If present, this property specifies that the station should not be placed within this number of light-seconds of an enemy.

 **spaceColor=** This is an RGB value specifying the color of space in the vicinity of the star.
+**mass=** This defines the mass of the star in terms of solar masses (equivalent to 330000 Earth masses). It affects the gravitational acceleration that this object exerts in its gravitational field.
+**gravityRadius=** This specifies the radius (in light-minutes) in which the station will exert gravitational force on mobile objects (such as ships and **mobile** stations like cargo crates and shipwrecks. Acceleration applied to nearby space objects may be roughly determined by **V = [g_SecondsPerUpdate * rAccel * vDist / sqrt(rDist2) = 6468 * mass * (gravityRadius^2 / distance^2) * distance / sqrt(distance^2)] km/s / 299792.5 ls/km**, where **V** is the change in speed in light-seconds per second (towards the star) after a single second. The maximum range at which objects can get "ripped apart by" this star will scale up with mass and radius also.
