Removing destroyed player owned stations
Is there a way to delete or remove a station that has been destroyed?

e.g. - A station gets destroyed.
the build area remains,
but you cannot rebuild, cannot edit the build plan, cannot change the size of the build area.
Going out of Sector doesn't work either.

What is the despawn time, if any?
Can it be manually removed or deleted?

It is extremely frustrating trying to rebuild when you cannot remove or replan, or edit anything.

Good questions, you'red think we could either destruct/repair even use the scrap station as recuses towards the new build.

I always have at lease 2 battleships plus escorts protecting my stations as well as a lot of stations guns etc and drones, never lost a station yet only minimal damage that repair drones can easy fix.

try this =)

That "x" is easy to overlook. Or its just a bug.

Only problem with this is.... wait for it... wait for it...
the "plot" is not in my list of holdings.
and hence, no "x" to click on, to delete the plot... *sigh*

It auto removes after a period of time

в игру добавлен функционал переработки уничтоженных кораблей, так же как и корабли класса L и XL разбираются с помощью специального корабля класса L так он и станции уничтоженные разбирает.

the functionality of processing destroyed ships has been added to the game, just like L and XL class ships are dismantled using a special L class ship, so it dismantles the destroyed stations.

*sorry for only quoting the engish, i just hope it tells the same as the letters i am unable to read.

for owners of the DLC there is indeed a Ship that can dismantle destroyed large Wrecks... how ever, they still vanish after a period of time, given the Player is not present.

я пишу на обоих языках так как данный вопрос может быть и у русскоязычных игроков, вы можете отвечать так и на том языке который вам удобно.

I write in both languages, since Russian-speaking players may also have this question, you can answer in the language that is convenient for you.

по поводу удаление разрешенной станции это верное замечание она также удаляется спустя определенное время отсутствия игрока в секторе, так же разбор специальным кораблём, особенно крупной станции занимает весьма не малое время, но выглядит это естественней чем просто пропали обломки и иногда бывает всё же быстрее(для малой станции) чем удаление автоматическое, по поводу присутствия спец корабля без ДЛС не могу прокомментировать так как они у меня есть.

regarding the removal of an destroyed station, this is a correct remark, it is also deleted after a certain time of absence of the player in the sector, it also takes a very long time to disassemble a special ship, especially a large station, but it looks more natural than the wreckage just disappeared and sometimes it is still faster (for small station) than automatic removal, I can’t comment on the presence of a special ship without DLS since I have them.

They just disappear after a while so dont worry as long as all modules are destroyed

I have since moved out of that sector, but the station has still not despawned.

I tried to dismantle the station with a "Teuta" (SP?) L class ship; it did not work either.
I could not lock onto the station to dismantle it.
There is only a single destroyed "argon cross connection" that had been built, just before it got destroyed.

How long is the despawn timer? 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 10 hours, 100?

only partially build? no, that won't do it.

in that case you should just leave the destroyed piece simply allone and wait it out... and its not 10 or 100 hours.

as you arleady lost that plot you should simply place a new one..

I will just have to wait for it to despawn, [however long that may be] and then rebuild in the same location.

Thank you all for your replies. Cheers.
