X2 Stations - the only other question that matters.

[Rapier]

If ships will have shields and hull damage, will stations as well? Will a damaged station suffer any penalties, i.e. slower production, more resources needed?

[Al]

Sounds reasonable. Whether its true or not is another matter entirely. just imagine you have a quantum tube fab somewhere thats got a full stock of products. Pirates/Khaak come in and attack. By the time the sector defense and the factories defenses kill off the attackers, the stations structure has been damaged resulting in the loss of all products...

Man that would hurt! It would also earn some serious reprisals

Thus replenishing the credits from all those lovely captured ships..

[Rapier]

It always struck me as strange (and annoying) that cargo and equipment was destroyed when ships were attacked but not factories. It would make defending your factories a more immediate problem. At the moment, the only thing that makes me want to go and help out one of my factories is the desire to get rid of the annoying voice.

I know the feeling. Who can honestly say that they;'ve played X-tension for long periods without once telling the AI voice who continually says "Attention: one of your factories is under attack!" to shut up.

That's where a few strategically placed M3's come in handy

So on a related subject...

In X2 will there be a mute button?

I can.

I never put it that politely.
