Though some [[ma:spacedock|spacedock]] installations also maintain starship refurbishing units (usually up to three refits occurring at one time), StarBase 118's important tactical location, and high volume of traffic, keep this duty to a minimum. The [[Downwater Fleet Yards]], 30 light years away, does most of the starship construction for the surrounding sectors, freeing up StarBase 118 to act as a commercial and tactical vantage point. | Though some [[ma:spacedock|spacedock]] installations also maintain starship refurbishing units (usually up to three refits occurring at one time), StarBase 118's important tactical location, and high volume of traffic, keep this duty to a minimum.

Docking a StarFleet vessel at a StarBase such as 118 is a well-established, by-the-book procedure. This manuever is overseen by the StarBase's Flight Control ([[StarBase 118 Command Center#Flight Control: (FLY-CON)|FLY-CON]]) and can be automated once the captain of the incoming vessel hands control over to the docking commander. | Docking a StarFleet vessel at a StarBase such as 118 is a well-established, by-the-book procedure.

Flight Control in the main Command Center is responsible for giving all clearances to the space-doors. In case a starship doesn't follow the correct procedure, either Approach Control or Flight Control can issue a yellow alert to the entire spacedock. Usually, only Flight Control has command over the opening and closing of the space doors, but it has been possible to over-ride this command from aboard a starship. | Flight Control in the main Command Center is responsible for giving all clearances to the space-doors.

The docking procedure has been designed to allow for maximum safety, and to ensure that vessels do not cross paths in their approach or departure from the spacedock. While traffic in and out of the main spacedock can at times be light, and at other times be quite heavy, vessels are always required to queue properly to avoid disaster. | The docking procedure has been designed to allow for maximum safety, and to ensure that vessels do not cross paths in their approach or departure from the spacedock.
