[Rage at the Eclipse] - The First Phase [Applications now Open again!]

The upper levels of the starport had the most space and the best docks, so there were, despite the traffic plenty of spaces for them to dock. But to dock in a bay for servicing and repairs required payment up front which they couldnt afford, so they had the choice of docking the ship on an exterior arm and walking their way into the station, paying their docking fees before leaving or docking in the lower service bays which had older equipment but which also ran the deal of paying docking fees before they leave rather than up front.

Which would they choose?
