Impossible to see space station status?
« on: April 25, 2021, 10:25:26 AM »

I'm doing a mission where I need to disrupt a space station for at least 60 days.

The problem is, I have no idea how to check to see if the space station is disrupted, or when the disruption is expected to end.

Okay,

I've managed to complete the mission. I found the experience to be very intuitive. Upon a successful raid, one of the messages reported the minimum duration of the disruption. I thought I needed to keep launching additional successful raids, to ensure that the station remained disrupted for 60 days.

I didn't understand that I needed to disrupt the station for 60 days from a single raid. I also found the disruption screen (where you select what you want to disrupt) to be a bit vague - the numbers in the columns don't really make sense to me.

Destroying a station in combat will disrupt it for 60 or 90 days (don't remember which). Might be easier than raiding depending on the size of the station.

In the conversation with the person giving me the mission, he said he didn't want any destruction. I took this to mean I needed to accomplish the mission though a raid.

Is this disrupting a space station or a spaceport?

One unclear thing I've seen bite someone is not knowing you can assign more marine icons to a target to disrupt it for longer.

As for seeing the current disruption state of industries, look at the market info screen when docked with it.

I'm not sure of the difference between space station, and space port...

It was a pirate station. Also, another reason why I thought a raid was necessary: the intel screen told me an estimated number of required marines needed to complete the mission.

I noticed that there were some marine icons on the screen where I was selecting my target for disruption - I had no idea I could add more marines!
