When starting the game the player has access to 16 several basic Blueprints (BPs), which allows for building rudimentary stations. In order to construct more complex stations, and station defenses defences (see "Station DefensesDefences" section below), further Blueprints must be acquired (e.g. for habitation, better docks or additional production modules).
