//The deployment of orbital docking platforms sidesteps the difficulty of running a large-scale logistics business on difficult worlds. By maintaining orbital docking platforms, and only handling administrative and maintenance issues on the world itself most problems stemming from the unfriendly environment on the world are sidestepped.//

This technology removes the (:gold-orbit) and [[Type I Atmosphere]] requirement from specialisations by the Shipping Corporation. This allows Shipping Corporation specialization of Open Market Zones on worlds with any orbit type, under any atmoshpere (including 'no atmoshpere').
