Destroyed Space Station

[Cannon Fodder]

Well, I just saw something that was new to me: A destroyed Space Station.

I warped into a system, as usual, and headed towards the Space Station. But when I got there, it looked like it had been shot to hell!

There were multiple peeled-back sections of the 'outer scales', and the landing light was red (just like freighters under attack).

I was not sure I could go inside, but when I tried, I landed as normal.

The inside lights were all red. The layout looked like a pre-NEXT station, with the short platforms on both sides leading to a room. The rooms themselves were empty and had overturned furnature. I tried to access one of the secondary rooms, but even with my V3 pass the door remained 'locked'.

The system was classified as 'Gek', 5 planets (nothing unusual about them), no freighters, and no other starships in the entire system.

This brought to mind of what the results of a Gek-Vykeen battle could have looked like, where the Gek lost.

Abanded systems. New in NEXT. There are also systems to space stations and no planet structures.

Cool. Something different!

I had three of those in a row yesterday. All Gek.

Don't build your questline base there! I did - on a vykeen abandoned system - and had to restart my entire save when the questline told me the weapons specialist was in the completely empty station. If it's gek it'll screw up the farmer quest, and if korvax, the scientist quest.

Unless they've fixed it, it'll break the base building quest.

The sysem I found has a 'green' sun. I have found many 'colored' systems with no Space Station at all, but this is the first with a destroyed station.

It occurred it me: Maybe the Sentinals did this to the Gek, rather than the Vykeen. Maybe they will not allow the races to inhabit 'colored' systems and if they try, this is the result.

i just did all the worker quest and it did not tell me where any of them were... I jumped to 20 stations just to find the science dude... It does not tell you where they are it says search stations for them

[Cannon Fodder]

Yep, bigdale: That is what the station I fould looked like. Very spooky. I think there where even some 'metal groaning' sound effects too.

[bigdale]

I enjoyed finding one. I wen through the atlas locked doors to investigate and on my way back to the ship a pile of slime burped at me and actually spooked me a little.

[Cannon Fodder]

I think slime is HG's vision of the cockroach.

Jumped into a system with no Space station. None of the planets I explored seemed to have any structures on them either.

I had my main base in an abandoned system through the entire base building quest line, including finding all the employees, never had any troubles. it just sent me to a system nearby. maybe it's a problem they patched after you had trouble.

Hah! Found another one, and got a good screenshot from the outside:

Before the NEXT Update, Spacestations looked like this (the Design/Architecture). So, I tought it was also somthing like an Easteregg and kind of a reminder of old Days befor the huge NEXT Update. But... yes, surely a good Insert for the Story as well. :-)
