Modelling stations

Notes on size

Collision avoidance code treats ships and orbital stations as spheres. If the target is inside the sphere, a ship will fly around to approximately the closest point on the sphere's surface, then enter. Massive stations will therefore work, but the autopilot stops around 15km away from its target, so any larger than that and you'll have problems.

Landing pads / bays tend to be 100m across. Ships larger than that aren't expected to dock, and will probably eventually be loaded via shuttles.
