Stations & Deployables

A few questions about Stations and Deployables:

1: The tutorial mentions that deployables are "Temporary." How long do they last? Do they just de-spawn after a time limit?

2: Energy Stations... What's the point? They produce energy-related goods, but what is the capital ship refueling good for?

3: Constructor stations. Do I get to select what gets built? Where does it pull resources from? Can it sell the items directly or does it have to send them to a trade station? Just a general description of how these work would be useful; too many questions about this one.

4: How large is the Deployable shield? Does i have a HP or just anything within it is protected?

5: How do you deconstruct deployables?

All deployed items can be destroyed either by getting close enough to see the message to destroy them ... or by having everyone leave the sector (at which time, the deployed items self-destruct).

Hi Kraiz, welcome to the game and forum!....Hope to see you out there some time!.....

1. Deployables last till you leave the sector you created them in or till some one or you destroys them like Marvin said!
2. Energy Stations increase the technology level of the sector and can influence the economy and prices!
3. Consructor stations you take raw material or substances like Platinum, Anti-matter, Diamonds....etc to have usefull preprogrammed things constructed like Fuel Converters., Probes....etc! Which you could use or sell for 100% profit at a Station in a High Tech area!......
4. I think the shield is 1000 meters in diameter and protects who and whatever is inside it! You can not fire any weapons inside of the shield!
5. You destroy them by getting close to the center till it says scutle and click on the word scutle!
