	To capture a station, players go through the layers of capture zones in order. Layers form from outside towards the center. The center is the build zone with the station foundation, or the build zone with the siege terminal for capitals. Each layer is formed by picking furthest away zones from the center, with layer ending up containing at least 4 zones. If there are not enough zones at a set range to form the layer, the system looks for the next closest zones to combine with. This can create layers bigger than 4 zones.		To capture a station, players go through the layers of capture zones in order. Capturing is only possible for the currently active layer. Once the entire layer has been captured, the next one unlocks. The defenders can however try to capture back the previous layer as well, if nothing has yet been captured from the newly unlocked layer by the attacker. Once the final, central layer of a structure is captured, that structure is now '''controlled''' by that side! If they keep the control until the end of siege, that side will gain ownership of the structure.

	Capturing a zone happens by holding a majority of forces in there for long enough, signified by a meter in the UI. The capture speed varies based on the majority, with 60% being the lowest requirement and 90% ensuring fastest capturing. Amount of players also limits capturing speed: to be able to capture at the maximum speed, at least 4 players are required from a side to be present.

	The station and capital ship form capture zones based on a layer mechanic. First the center is defined: ~~the center of the station is the zone with the foundation and~~ Capital Ships center zone is the one with the siege terminal. ~~Then~~, distance of different zones are counted to the center, and starting from the outermost zones, layers containing at least 4 zones area formed. If there are not enough build zones at a set range, they are instead added to the count of the zones 1 step closer.		The station and capital ship form capture zones based on a layer mechanic. First the '''center''' is defined: for Capital Ships center zone is the one with the siege terminal. If a space station has a siege terminal, that is also the center for them; if not, then the zone with the station foundation becomes the center. Next, distance of different zones are counted to the center, and starting from the outermost zones, layers containing at least 4 zones area formed. If there are not enough build zones at a set range, they are instead added to the count of the zones 1 step closer.

	For example, if the furthest zones of a station are 5 steps away from the center and there are three of them, and there are two zones at range 4, these layers would be combined and create 5 capturable zones.

			= Limitations on stations and capital ships that are scheduled for siege =

			When a siege has been announced the target station has following limitations:
			*More objects can be added to the station to prepare for siege, and can be removed shortly after placement
			*Objects that were in place before scheduling the siege cannot be removed
			*It is not possible to expand to new build zones

			When a siege has been announced the participating capital ship has following limitations:
			*The capital ship cannot be altered in any way, as adding or removing objects could break warp requirements

	To choose the siege target, you need a navigation chip saved within 200 kilometers of the station in question. Having such a navigation chip in your inventory while using the siege terminal will show possible target stations as a list. Your own stations or your company's stations will not show up as options. You can then proceed to choose one of the timeslots the station has allocated for the siege, and confirm it. '''Note that when a siege is confirmed, it cannot be prevented by any means!'''
