If the station setting is checked then in a normal game there will be a station observing the battle. The station will not take any agressive action unless it is hit, then it becomes a worry. If the station is mad it will attack anyone it chooses, and if it's angry you can not win the battle before it's destroyed.
This station's weapons are much more dangerous than your own. It's laser, although it doesn't do as much damage as yours, can be locked onto any ship that's stupid enough to try and take on the station from close range. The station's torpedoes are even worse. Once locked onto an opponent they will follow the opponent until " "they run out of energy or hit the target.
And don't cloak near the station to try to avoid its sensors. It can see any ship.
I don't suggest getting in a fight with the station. It doesn't matter if the difficulty is set to idiotic or champion, the station is still just as powerful.
