Clan Station Construction
As a commander of a clan you have the opportunity to build a station in your clan sector with features like a dealer, a hangar, a mission terminal and a constructor. To upgrade your modules, the command module will need to be at least one level above the other modules. You will need materials like gas, metal and plasma to upgrade the modules.

To access clan station construction you must first acquire a clan sector.

The requirements for a clan sector are:
 * Have 10 members in you clan
 * Have 200,000 corons in your clan account

When you meet these requirements open the "Clan admin" page and click on the "Request clan sector" button under the Sector tab. This will deduct 200k from your clan account and automatically assign your clan a clan sector in which your clan station will be created.

Once your acquire a clan sector you will only be able to access the "Clan admin" page from your clan station. To get there open your starmap, your clan sector should be at the top of the list (you can also select the "Clan sectors" type to show all the clan sectors). After you travel to your clan sector you will see a small station, consisting of only your clan station's command module.

Clan Station Upgrade
To upgrade your clan station, a member with "Station construction access" rights needs to open the clan station construction menu by clicking the "Open station construction" button in the "Clan admin" page under the Sector tab.

Once in clan station construction menu, you will be presented with severals options. From left to right those are:
 * Mount station module
 * Upgrade station module
 * Remove station module
 * Buy station module
 * Change to free camera

The first step to upgrade your station is to buy the modules that you want to add to your stations. You will then need to attach them to your station before you can upgrade them. Each module offers different benefits. If you equip more than 1 of the same type of module, the level of all those modules will be added together. No module level nor the total level of multiple modules of the same type can be higher than the level of the command module.

To upgrade a module from level 9 to 10, from level 19 to 20, etc. you need an upgrade item for this particular module. You get those upgrade items from winning PvP clan missions.

Module energy consumption
Every module, except the command module and the energy cells module, requires a certain amount of power to be able to function correctly. If you don't have enough power available you won't be able to mount new modules or upgrade the attached modules past a certain level. If your station is using more power than it's producing, all your modules but the storage module will be deactivated.
