Has anyone else encountered “abandoned” starports?

[CMDR Bausell]

I just landed at Sacaqawea Star Port along the Colonia highway (SKAUDAI CH-B D14-34). We’ll ignore for the moment that they misspelled “Sacagawea,” the Shoshone woman who guided the Lewis & Clark expedition. When I landed, I was able to sell my cartographic data, but “Contacts” is greyed out, so I didn’t have an option to offload the dozen lifepods I’ve picked up along the way. I disembarked into the concourse, and I spotted all of the familiar stores, but there’s nobody working at the counters for any of them. Was hoping to sell my genomics data but it looks like I’ll have to make it all the way back to the bubble before I’m afforded the opportunity.

Has anyone else encountered a station/planetary port like this, where there just isn’t anyone working at the kiosks? Is it intrinsically bound to the availability of contacts, and this is just some kind of minimal-service station, or is this a bug? Appreciate any insight.

EDIT: I created two tickets, one for the missing vendors and one for the misspelled station name. If anyone reading this could mark these as "can reproduce," that'd be very helpful - thank you.

Honestly put that in a support ticket, and they'll probably update it pretty quick since that's a minor change, I haven't found any abandoned stations but I have found abandoned settlements.

Thanks. Posted the ticket here. Really hope they’ll take the time to fix the name of the station while they’re at it.

I can understand Apex and Frontline being unavailable as there’s nowhere for them to take you, but I’d expect Vista and Pioneer to be consistently staffed.

Should really have created a ticket about the name, rather than the fact that stations can have disabled services - which has always been the case and is probably deliberate. Soneone posted a pic of the services in the Alexandria m/s (in Galnet) being completely closed, so it seems it is probably deliberate.

I’d be happy to post a separate ticket about the name. Included it in the description of the one I already submitted.

Like I said, not having Apex or Frontline makes sense for an outpost this isolated, but Vista and Pioneer Supplies seem like they ought to function anywhere. It’d be nice if stations which didn’t provide these services lacked the storefronts for them. Maybe they’ll change that in the future.

If they are really representing her in this fashion, yeah that is a bit annoying to have the name misspelled. Being a descendant of an old Shawnee chief and a Cherokee Wolf Clan, I can appreciate their sentiment, but yeah, spell it correctly.

I created a separate ticket specifically addressing the name. If people boost it, it might get more attention.
