Docking Station id

To play Docking Station online users need to register for a free Docking Station id. This id takes the form of a case-sensitive Docking Station username, and with it a Docking Station id number in the form xxxx+xx.

It is possible to add users to the in-game Docking Station contacts list by three methods:

Add Contact Page
