Battle Stations
 

I built a battle station and it is in orbit around one of my planets. I am trying to move it with a transport to protect some of my warp points. I cant figure out how to move it! Any advice?

You cannot move space stations. Sorry!

To get a battle station at a warp point, you need to build a Cruiser or larger ship with a Space Yard on it. Send it to the warp point and build the station there.

Sorry, you can't move space stations in the standard game. You could mod a huge satellite and then be able to move that, though. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

As Fyron says, the way to get a battlestation on your WP is to build a space yard ship which has to be cruiser or larger. I really recommend a battlecruiser hull. The cruiser is just barely large enough. I've modded my game to allow the space yard in a transport (it has cargo ability) and use medium transports as space yard ships.

I modded a "Massive Propulsion" tech that gives engines for moving bases, albeit very slowly (about the speed of baseships, which I eliminated)... just create an engine that has its "can mount on" property set to Base, and set your base's Max Engines and Engines per Move to something greater than zero...
