Forgive me if this is posted elsewhere, but I could not find it

I am trying to figure out where the best equipped starports are, with relation to ship selection and module range, and especially close to or in Empire space.

So far my best finds are:

- Q1 Eridani, Windt Terminal (Independent) Had 11 ships last I checked, and a good selection and range of modules and weapons;

- Xihe, Zhen Dock (Federation); Had 10 ships last I checked, including Fer-de-Lance (I think), and a good selection and range of modules and weapons.

- Faust 68, Slipher Hub (Empire); Had 13 ships last I checked, including Clipper and a good- if not great - selection and range of modules and weapons, including turreted tier 3 burst lasers.

Do any of you have any other good ones to share?

George Lucas station in the Leesti system is a good one, and so is Solo Orbiter in Altair, neither of them very close to Empire though sorry.

Back Enterprise in CD-34 9020 (near Lave) is also pretty well stocked.

Cochrane Enterprise, just 6 light seconds from the landing point in the Cantjarisni system.
Cochrane Enterprise is a coriolis starport and of independent allegiance.
Large population, high tech and refinery economy (Independent, Corporate).

Shipyard has 10 ships (Sidewinder, Python, Viper, Anaconda, Asp, Vulture, Orca, Cobra, Type 6, Federal Dropship).
Outfitting seems comprehensive up to large classes and high ratings.
(At least it is for me - though I'm a trader and explorer, and I go weaponless.)
Cantjarisni is my normal stop when around Alliance and especially Federation systems.

Nearest Empire system to Cantjarisni is Liaedin at 67.78 LY, and Shosha at 95.49 LY.
Beyond that it's a longer journey, but there's a whole bunch of Empire systems a little more than 120 LY from Cantjarisni.

I will add ANLAVE to the list.

First Station had 9 ships, including the Vulture which I purchased. The Second station had everything I needed to A rate the vultures power, drives, shields and the level 3 pulse lasers. If I remember correctly, I could have done beams and burst there, but the price was put of my reach.

If you have the permit, Jameson Memorial in Shinrarta Dezhra has all the ships and modules.
Back Enterprise in CD-34 9020 (one jump from Lave) has 12 ships.
Wurango has 13 ships, including the vulture and anaconda.
LFT 926 (near Codorain) has 13 ships too.

Setting Galaxy map to show only hi-tech systems serves pretty well for finding those stations with lots of gear. Being allied with whatever faction controls a station in those systems (or being allied with the Empire, Feds or Alliance if the station is within their jurisdiction) expands the equipment list you can choose from and gives you 10% off.

Ray Enterprise in GQ Virginis has a decent selection of ships and gear. If I need something in particular I can usually find it there.

Zenbei orbital in Vaka, 12 ships including the Vulture, also decent module selection. Used to have C3 gimballed burst, but they removed it in 12.0.6.
Also I recently discovered Gliese 58, has 2 well equipped Coriolis starports and between the 2 of them u can get pretty much everything.

Both systems are Imperial.

The station in TZ Arietis (I think it's called Snyder Orbital...it's the only one there, anyway) is pretty decent - I got my Adder and my Cobra there. I think it usually had about thirteen ships for sale whenever I'd check. The system is near Tau Ceti, perhaps 10-15 light years from Sol :).
