MetaStation Solar Arrays
There are a total of 141 solar panels already outside the station ready to be wired to the network. On top of this, the station has allocated space for a total of 215 panels. Additional solar panels can be retrieved from the engineering wing on the east end of the station.
Fore Port Array
MetaStation's northwestern solar array as of 08JUL2024
Accessed via the north hallway of Fore Port Maintenance. The maintenance entrance is north of the Cargo Lobby. Go north from the Bounty Pad and then west of the Vault entrance. Once inside go north, slightly to the left, and then further north to the control room entrance.
The array itself is in a damaged state, and will need significant work to repair.
