Just found out that one of the

PBG forges in Danna's chance
is indestructible and is getting a lot of attention from the local military patrols that pass through there. So far I've captured a Tiger, Deimos and Cerberus. :lol:

I don't think it's indestructible by default. I had one in one game that was flagged as a plot station (treasure hunt) and the flag never got removed, so it remained indestructible. In other games, the PBG forge gets toasted very quickly.

This is AP so there isn't a treasure hunt plot iirc. I'm thinking that maybe Ego made one of the two stations indestructible so the player had access to one station at least as you said they get destroyed very quickly by military patrols. But it has made it interesting to say the least....

Shooting fish in a barrel!

Do their escorts even pay you any attention whilst you take them or are they too busy shooting up the forge?

I didn't mean it was related to the treasure hunt, but that it might be a plot related station (not sure which plots in AP might use it), and that's why it's indestructible.

No escorts this time but you can usually quickly apologise to escorts and they head back home.

If it was plot related I would of thought it would have had a blue book mission icon.

That would've been a bad move, since race patrols are often tasked to destroy pirate stations, that being one. And that would lead to the scenario being reported with multiple racial fleets attacking it forever. It's probably just a glitch like with the rare indestructible ships that cause the same commotion.
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

X4 is a journey, not a destination. Have fun on your travels.

Yeah, guess your right, I've put an Adv sat in that sector to keep an eye on things. I don't want hundreds of patrol ships turning up as I've got a small booze complex in that sector, don't want stray shots hitting my stations. :roll:

This 'glitch' applies in my game also to the

Pirate anarchy port in Hatikvah's Faith.
My pirate "removal" missions on this station were fruitless, but the nextdoor piratebase was removed in minutes.

The station mentioned in the OP is in my game indestructable as well

Interesting....There may well be a glitch in AP then that is causing this behaviour.
