The hardpoint is the facility that allows Equipment to be installed on a Ship or Station that enable external interactions with the universe. Hardpoints generally require External Facing Area in order to function correctly. Hardpoints are a single-room facility with a single job executor (itself).
Each hardpoint can interact with entities nearby in space. Typically these jobs will Lock Interactable Bases, preventing it from moving. If the ship is already moving, the hardpoint jobs typically will wait to acquire the lock.
