I've played through the campaign three times; the first two times after the Plutarch Overwatch was blown up during the plot, it eventually gets rebuilt (and a lot of players who wished to remain hostile to PMC complained about this).
My third playthrough was started in version 2.10, and this time the Overwatch did not come back after being blown up. Is this intentional? Or did it bug out?
The reason I ask is because even though the station remained "dead", I still see NPC freighters attempt to trade with it (I saw a Scadis try to sell missiles to it, but of course... it couldn't since there's not even any storage available on the station), so it got stuck in a docking loop.
Is the Plutarch Overwatch dead...?

I'm playing on the same saves I started with the day of release. When I finished the plot the Plutarch Overwatch stayed dead for a LONG time. It wasn't until around the time you're talking about that something changed. The Titurel on the way to Twilight suddenly respawed and the Plutarch Overwatch (as well as all other station elements everywhere) started turning from destroyed to ~20-25% repaired in less than 10 minutes. All modules on the pieces coming back "to life" would also become active. This presents a new and borderline unrealistic challenge for Wrecksville and proves impossible dealing with the Plutarch Overwatch if you mine or build in DeVries. In my game now, the Plutarch Overwatch is now HOA Plutarch Overwatch.
I think you may have just answered the question for me about what the stalled Scaldis on the Albion side of the gate is trying to do. It was stalled long before I changed ownership of the Overwatch but it has to be related. I'm pretty sure it must have been on its way to trade, after the Overwatch came back to life, when I destroyed the superstructure elements that have the docking bays. !!!!!
Right now the Welding Laser mod plus giving ownership of the Overwatch to HOA is the difference between this game being unplayable and it being fun to play. The Welding Laser is one of the few things that make this feel a little like an X game, being able to kill time repping your own and random NPC ships. At first I thought the repairing was linked to that mod but I confirmed it was not.
