Add an option allowing to see can be docked to the station, or not.
Fly 20-30 systems that would detect such a possible unpleasant.
Or do remote purchasing and arriving to take it away suddenly discover that it is impossible to dock to the station.

Why not just check your sec status before you spend all your isk?

because the owners can set every station with difrent settings making it so that in 1 outpost everyone can dock in a second only those who are blue and in yet another one only alliance members

the idea to remotly check if you can dock would be great and help a lot of 0.0 players

1) open dotlan

2) look up system where thing you want to buy is

3) see if the bad guys own it

if so, 4) buy it somewhere else.

if not, 4) go there.

Why is that hard?

I have not once encountered a situation where the arrival of a friendly station showed that I had no right to dock with it.

Maybe if you lived so long in zero sitsem`s you it's hard to understand.
But this thing is a roadblock.

On the other hand, why should someone rely on outgame sources to acquire essential information?

Just assume that you're not allowed to dock on any 0.0 station that your corp/alliance don't controlls and you'll be fine. Not that hard. Everything else is intel. Yes! someone elses standings (and therefore docking rights) is considered confidential information for outsiders.

We have this mutual alliance standings +10, but some of the stations he passed his pets corporations,
As a result, docking with them is not available for other alliances and corporations.

This sounds like a problem for your diplomats, not a game mechanics thing.

This. 90% of players have never heard of dotlan. Many have never heard of a killboard. Suggesting something should not be fixed in game because an out of game service addresses the problem is ret*rded.
