That is why they invented the kits. You build your stations and afterwards you connect them with these kits. These stations are now a complex and share all wares in a big stock.[PPGA] EnDeR wrote:they are in the same sector but they have already been built. can a complex construction kit be used on existing stations or do they still have to be in the freight bay of the transport ship?
You need your TL (or a hired) again. Dock it at a shipyard and buy one (1) complex construction kit. Load it into the TL, send it to the sector with your stations. Than comm the TL to drop of your station (the kit) and select the first station, than the second and a place where you want your complex hub (this is where the ships will dock).
I hope you did not build your stations too far apart from each other. The kit has a range of ~20km to connect stations. If they are too far, you can use a ship that can use a tractor-beam and tow the stations closer together and then connect them.
And again
