No, I don't think that it is possible, only a save previous to the problem to revert the game.Argent Valcendre wrote: ↑Fri, 14. May 21, 15:46Is it possible to repair the Headquarter or the Hub if completely destroyed?
Yes, there are missions for station repairs. I saw them after the split TL decided to crash with my HQ when collecting the bofu station. Repairing the HQ would have cost something like 22mil...
Looks like so, but I think such game shouldn't end like this. I have several millions on account and 2 tuned fighters, not a bad for the begining. I used cheat pack and added spacelab station to the central shipyards for all races. It has huge price - 200 millions but I can continue the game and soon will buy it. I would kindly ask developers to make spacelab officially buyable.Milite Ignoto wrote: ↑Fri, 14. May 21, 13:03Pretty sure that you need to load an earlier save. Happened to me with HUB too - no plot armor for these stations, it seems.
If the HQ gets attacked by capital ships that the player cant do anything about (yet), high hitpoints wont help him. Swarms of small ships in addition to capitals can also be problematic, because OOS damage is rather high.
Its not like we didn't think of it. You being able to get another HQ is not an option, it would break the whole story, might as well make it invincible. Atm there are no plans to change how it is, we could consider pushing shields even more, but its already rather ridiculously high.Killjaeden wrote: ↑Mon, 17.

If it was fully invincible, it would mean player doesnt have to pay a price for neglecting the HQ.
Losing the HQ arguably also breaks the game, as so much of the new gameplay revolves round HQ functions. For something so fundamental to gameplay it should either be un-loosable or replaceable. If replaceable is not an option, then invicibility seems like the better option. As long as ships attack the HQ the player cant use the station effectively anyway, as nothing can dock safely.
This would be no issue, if you would get the HQ and Hub when you are powerfull. But this is not the case in the plot starts, you get the HQ and HUB in the first few hours of the game, when you have absolutely nothing. As you know, plot start is mandatory before you can do a sandbox start, so everyone has to go through this at least once... And dynamic relations and also random spawning can easily cause a race fleet to either attack HQ or especially the HUB, because it is 6-gate sector with connections to everywhere. Not to mention xenon patrols passing through. Not everyone knows or wants to or is capable of abusing the blind-spot of capital ships to sloooooowly plink them to death.Meister4000 wrote: ↑Mon, 17. May 21, 14:32I don't know. I think i much more prefer a destructible HQ (and Hub). This way you actually care for your station, it has a value and you need to protect it. So higher shields (especially for Hub, a M6 is able to destroy it easily) seem like a better option for me. Also in sandbox starts you don't have to claim the hub and HQ right away, you can wait till you are strong enough. So you actually have to think and make a strategic decision here.
If you knew that your station could get killed you might refrain from that, sure, but i guarantee you 90% of the people wont know or consider this.sandbox starts you don't have to claim the hub and HQ right away
