A station recycle or destroy script

NOTE As of v0.09 this mod now uses the Defense Manager and NOT the Trade Manager


Objective


To add a way to recycle or cleanly destroy player space stations that are

  • No longer needed
  • In 20:20 hindsight have been put up in the wrong place
  • Where the wrong type of station was built and the build location could be better used by something else
  • Didn't build properly the first time but are so far back in the save games that you can't face loosing all the work to get them out

This frees up the build location and optionally releases the Construction Vessel with the recycled materials as cargo and with a working Architect. You can then use it to rebuild the same or a different station on the same or a different spot. Alternatively you could just sell the wares.

How to Use

Fly to the zone that contains your station that you want to recycle or destroy

Open communications with your station. This can be done from the Comm button in the Zone map or Property Owned. Then select the Defence Manager

Or

Land on one of your builder (attached to a station) Construction Vessels
Pick the Destroy or Recycle Backdoor

Then
Pick the Destroy or Recycle Station menu option
 Then pick either Destroy Station or Recycle Station or Recycle + sell
 Confirm your action
NEW - Construction Vessel is now released from the station and is no longer destroyed, so it can be reused.
 Sit back and watch the explosions and decide what to do with the recycled wares [optional]
 
 or
Pick the "Release Construction Vessel" which will detach the CV from your station and let you use it elsewhere

or
        
Pick the Tools menu
 Diagnostics to provide orders on how to resolve "Destroy or Recycle Station" options being greyed out
 Transfer Engineer to station to transfer the engineer from the attached Construction Vessel to the station.
Repair Service provides fixes or cleanups for this mod - now includes
Unknown Defence Officer which will remove unknown Defence Officers from all stations
Reset main cue to clear the working flag (if ordered to)

The Recycle Station option provides

  • Recycles 80% of the build materials that went into the station. These wares are 'bioopticwiring', 'plasmapumps', 'fusionreactor', 'reinforcedmetalplating'
  • It also recycles enough 'energycells' to rebuild the first stage of the station that you are recycling
  • Recycles 100% of the operational shields and turrets that were on the station
  • Recycles 100% of the V Crusher missiles that were in the station ammunition storage
  • All recycled materials appear as cargo in the cloned CV
  • Relocates station crew via pod either to the Albion Skunk (if room).

The Recycle and sell option

  • Places the recycled wares, shields, missiles and drones in the original builder CV and then puts them up for sale for a limited period
  • A basic mission is created and when it expires the station is destroyed and the original CV is released
  • You can buy the wares in any order
  • The selling mission lasts for 20 minutes plus 5 minutes per ware
