Fate of Yaki and station destruction questions.

[Azuber]

Hello. So im on the fate of Yaki quest line under the War intervention sub quest and i have a few questions. So first off when i met the spear of Odin ship i found it odd that the ship or Terran command did not regard me, after pushing through 2 xenon systems i made it to Matrix#79b and took down the wharf. just before entering the system i get call telling me that if i wanted to be rewarded i should join the attack force and now im doubting that the game knows that i am in fact helping. I have reloaded several times to avoid the Asgard from full kamakazi runs into stations so it would leave a bad taste to not get any story progression or what ever the spoils of war reward is. after the station reached 0% and exploded the station is sill a object you can select and still has an icon on the map as with buy and sale request. Is this normal? i would imagine after total destruction there's no reason for it to be on the map still, further more say i was conquering the sector and wanted to make my own station, would there still heaps of space junk that state they are property of another faction in my sector?

When i was killing stations on my way to Matrix#79b other xenon stations behaved the same way, while odd the situation stopped short of becoming a problem. Now the spear of Odin is just idle in front what used to be a xenon wharf but is now shooting at a station with a hull of 0% and somehow the 0% structure will explode eventually but after 30 real time minutes using SETA drive nothing changed. Eventually i noticed my turrets shoot the wreck too so i re destroy the station almost entirely until it looked like a proper wrecked structure I quick saved and quit. Next session i boot the game and while the station still has 0% hull my ship is attacking it again. I think they are trying to rebuild it in front of me because the station is still on the map.

In summary my questions are these:
Is the spear of Odin bugged for me? Is there a way for me to help push it forward?

how do i go about completely destroying a station? After 0% hull and a explosion Is the station not destroyed or is this a bug and how do i deal with it?

Is the mission bugged for me in general?

In case its relevant my game save was created back in 5.0.

I don't think your mission is bugged. If I remember correctly, it took me some time as well to finally destroy the last piece of the station.
They're probably trying to rebuild it as soon as you destroy the last module.

You could try the following:
- If you set the turrets of a destroyer to "attack my target" and select the station the AI knows where to shoot the last pieces.
- Give your ship an attack order and see, what the AI is doing. It might take some time but eventually it will destroy the station.
- Leave the sector and see what happens. OOS might have a better result.

Once the station is gone that secret service NPC will tell you to get your reward which are a few secured containers in the sector.

As for the Spear of Odin I find it to be most helpful to just stay away and let it do its job. Depending on how developed your world is, it might not even get through. At least this was the case in one of my seeds.

Alright then. Thanks so much for the help.
