CG for Repairing a Station

[Brrokk]

Could we have an actual CG to deliver the goods needed to at least one of the damaged Pleiades stations?

Delivering goods to those stations seems like a good idea, but when there's a proper trade CG going somewhere else at the same time it's disincentivised.

I figure it's a way of FDev to test the community and see if there are people that are willing to put in effort over weeks and months to get the stations fixed without the community goal dangling a carrot for them. I'm part of the Pleiades repair initiative, putting in an hour or two of trucking each day (no more, or I'd risk getting burned out over time). Slow and steady does it.

I would do that if I would have had a chance to defend the station, the day late dollar short fait accompli set pieces don’t motivate me but the video cutscene was amazing but was generic, help me, not bring x to arm y to repel the invaders, that’s the writer me whining again.

I’m currently hauling goods to Obsidian Orbital to help with repairs. We seem to be stuck in an endless loop on Thargoid Thursday. Station X is attacked (we don’t get a chance to defend it, it just magically happens offline). Then we get a CG that says “Help faction Y build a new star port” in/around bubble”. Given the large number of stations needing repair you’d think the focus would be to repair these rather than building more stations somewhere else that doesn’t really make much difference gameplay wise. Like you say, it decentivises the need to repair the damaged stations, especially given the massive amount of materials needed to repair these. The damaged stations requiring rescue missions as well also splits the communities focus.

What would be nice is if we were given the chance to defend the stations and limit the damage to them. Evacuation missions could happen at the same. It would be awesome to drop out of Supercruise next to a station with a large scale battle going on.
