[#373] Trying to destroy VIG station, stuck at 5% health

Post by chrigi_zh » Thu, 17. Mar 22, 16:24

I have almost finished one of the ToA questlines, now I can destroy the VIG station or pay them out. When I try to destroy the station, the health never goes further down than 5%. In sector, out of sector, no difference. I looked at the individual modules, all are stuck at 5% and don't take further damage, the text [inactive] is visible next to the health bar of each module. No station module is visibly destroyed.

It's kind of a plotstopper. Is there any way around it?

I got the same Problem
I can demolish the Station till every Module got 5% Hull left but i cant destroy the Station. Maybe it´s because i didn´t finish (also not started) the research with the quality for Workers where i need to go to the same station which i need to destroy?

Yes, that sounds like the station selected for destruction is still needed for another plot mission and so cannot be destroyed (yet). Can you still do any outstanding other plot missions in the area, or have you burned your bridges?

A link to a vanilla save showing the issue would help the devs to investigate what is going on.

Yeah i can destroy a other Station from Vig no Problem there. Only Mods i installed was "Sektor scout" and "all the things" learned when i shut them off the Result stay the same. The target Station is protected (no Damage below 5%) other Vig Stations can be destroyed. Is there a Way i can change the Reputation with Vig by edeting the Save? So i can finish the Research and put it then back to normal should sove the Problem.

Im changed my Reputation with Vig to positive so i was able to finish the Research. After this i tryed to destroy the station but doesn´t work still undestroyable. Someone know if this station still needed for a mission/plot?

@ Warhox: The devs have your save and have issued this thread a bugtracker number. I would leave it with them until they can look at it. In the other thread I linked, there may be some small comfort for you that the devs are trying to avoid this situation happening in future.

@alan Phipps Thanks for the Information. I would say this Station is protected for a Mission/plot but like i said i was sure it´s just the Research but i finished it and the Station is still protected. Maybe there more Missions where this Station is needed but i don´t know hope when they looked into it they can tell whats wrong there. :)

Hello, I took a quick look and it seems the "Gambling Den" research / welfare mission is blocking you from destroying that station.

You need to start researching the "Gambling Den" and meet Boso in his lab (he'll talk about a "supervisor with concerns" - that supervisor will be there too). At this point you get a mission to fly to that station and dock there to talk to someone (which is going to be difficult because of the relation - one workaround might be to sneak aboard a capital ship docking at that station and then use the transporter room - similar as what we do in the split storyline when docking at the split prison station). After that plotline is complete, it should be possible to destroy it again.

We'll see if we can improve this situation in a future patch.

remove the protection and just reset the subcue for this habitation module type.
The research requires an arbitrary habitation module so just use another if rep drops below -10 or the station has no functional dock.
Oh and it would be nice to allow the player to abort a subtarget manually, if you are right next to a fitting habitat why should you have to fly across the galaxy for one station you were close to at some time.

Please use the Tech Sp forum for reporting vanilla game issues so that the devs can investigate and fix those issues in the next release. Suggestions and discussion of hacks and save edits are more for the gameplay or S&M forums.
