Huh, I never thought about the "restore stations" as helping Aegis, but you're right... I wonder if player agency determines whether these stations are repaired or not. It would be nice if it did (as in, stations aren't 'magically' fixed after an arbitrary time regardless of materials gathered).
Not gonna help Aegis anymore

Personally i think it speaks for itself,
that station damage is calculated once per week.
They have to replace the stations with the damaged models and so on.
I do not think it is interactive.
However, the CGs came up, this time alliance in the california nebula
are under attack.
I hereby shout out to you guy to NOT VANQUISH the pirates.
Instead gather data.
Do not repeat the errors we did with the blue hand gang.

I'd love to go in with a wing and try this out someday.
The CG in california is a coverup operation imo,
the crew was abducted, the cargo was not the pirate goal,
check the bulk transport thread for logs

If you kill a clean ship you will get a bounty of the faction controlling the system (or space station/outpost). Since that communication hub is not controlled by a faction (as part of the BGS) you will get a bounty from Aegis since they became the controlling faction.
Just the typical RNG mission flavor text.

Could you provide a link to that thread? I don't find it - maybe I'm blind or just need more coffee. Anyway, would be nice if you could post a link.
Sure.

It happens to me that cannon has more info on the ship logs,
so here is the link to their site:
https://canonn.science/tag/pirate-attack/
What i make up from that is this:
The pirates attacked the aquarius tanker to get the parts needed
for construction of a wrong distress signal with the designation of
a mega-ship.
The pirates have a base near an asteroid cluster, so keep an eye out
for asteroid bases.
They pick parts of the ships they require for something,
but the main goal of operation is the crew, either killed or abducted.
One log suggests they shoot down escape pods.
I can only imagine that the officers with higher clearance and access to flight plans and logs
stay longer on the ship, and the normal crewman evacuate first.
To me the operation looks like a black flight,
but the logs state it is pirates.
So i'd say it is either a party connected to Salome's
appeal to blockade powers' operations,
a pirate gang contracted by the shadow club to operate more openly
instead of the black flights,
or genuine slavers.
We have seen rogue elements being involved in abductions of bulk crew
before, aswell as being used to abduct people and infect them with cerberus:
- red pirate ships -> abducting people from generation ships
- blue hand gang -> cerberus plague
- black flights -> SVI Registration, presumably military outfit with kill order, or abducting political figures and Palin

Suspected this right from the beginning and new about those logs mentioned in the video for a while now. That is why my character has never attacked a Thargoid. Instead has been trying to learn what is happening, studying them, going to bases and researching logs. Fdev could have done this a bit better, but agree there is a deeper story that many don't know about.
