Invincible Xenon station?

[cale_online]

I just took my fleet on a test drive to destroy a random Xenon asteroid station, it didn't have a proper icon or label just a Google maps style "pin".

In any case, after clearing out all the destroyers and proceeded to park my fleet on top of it, and despite half my ships refusing to fire on it, we eventually got it down to zero percent and I was expecting some kind of very big boom.

What actually happened was it launched a load of drones and repaired itself in about 5 minutes.

So, is this particular station invincible, or a story mission target, or bugged?

Perhaps it's bugged and the last module can not be targeted while in-sector.
Once it is at low hull%, try leaving the sector and see if that makes it able for your fleet to destroy it.

I'd just assumed those were for story missions. I've seen a few of them in areas where I recall there being story mission .... "stuff". But I haven't done any story missions in over a year and my memory sometimes sucks.

No, this comes up over and over and over on the forums. You're just not seeing the one last piece of the station still built. Usually when this happens I teleport out of the sector, give my ships the attack command, make sure all turrets are set to attack all enemies, and they maneuver around to find it and it eventually goes grey.

From your description it can be a plot specific station. If the sector was Savage Spur I there is one....

This makes sense! I did keep finding new bits to blow up, but I couldn't see any more. I did leave my fleet on top of it, while I ran off to defend an equipment dock. But nothing happened.
There's no way to target station modules is there? Not turrets and stuff, but an entire section?

This worked perferctly. Teleported to do other stuff and in the same second it was destroyed... lol

Good to hear, but this is a year old thread ...
