 <StationType> defines the properties and behavior of a type of [[station]]. In addition to stations and wrecks, a StationType is also used to define the properties of stars, planets, and asteroids. <StationType> defines the properties and behavior of a type of [[station]].

 **scale=** The scale property is used to define the size-scale of the object. The following values are defined: **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

 You use a special syntax to have more control over the probability: 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).

 +  * **-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. **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. **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.
