station under attack broken?

[Old Virgin]

I have just visited Mukai reach in the Rajuarai system to defend a station under attack. I havent done this for a few weeks so im not sure i things have changed or this is some sort of bug. I dont get the message asking me to help, nor do i get the progress bar as was usual. Ssometimes an interceptor will turn up but its damage is off the charts, my krait m2 was almost killed in one attack pass. i'm not great at ax combat but a couple of weeks ago i could engage and kill 4 or 5 clops before needing to repair/rearm. Anyone else seeing the same or similar? Has something changed that i missed? Dont wanna submit a bug report if it just me being stupid.

lol, nothing broken. the port was reactivated so no conflict around it and no missions. just me be stoopid

I'm having the same issue. I don't really understand - the system is not cleared, the port says, "under attack" (not repairing or recovering) - but there is nothing there. No NPCs, no Thargoids.

I had a buddy report this at all 4 of Thor's controls, tried open pg & solo, saw other cmdrs could dock at the port but no CZ

That's exactly my findings too.

I travelled to all the counterstrike systems with the skull icon around Thor; all completely empty. It's even playing the background sfx of combat zone radio chatter.

Tried Solo, Open & PG, too.

These ports are reactivated not under attack, they were under attack at some point but were lost. The system later became a counterstrike system and a port was reactivated to allow cmdrs to repair and rearm without having to jump to thier carriers in another system. There is no conflict zone around the port in a counterstrike system. You can fight interceptors in axczs throughout the system but get there quick as they will not last long. This change was made a few weeks ago and is in the patch notes somewhere.

The change you're referring to was to reactivate abandoned stations in thargoid controlled counter strike systems, making them under attack, to ensure players could get station conflict zone gameplay.

I played earlier & it's working again; the station czs are in full flow again.

ohhh cool, thanks for setting me straight. i just assumed reactivation was different as i hadnt done any ax stuff since the changes were made.

 

[CMDR Kalo Guterson]

No problem. There are so many moving parts, intermingled systems, terms etc. that it can get very confusing, to be fair. It's exactly why I wasn't sure if it was a bug, or me misunderstanding at first lol.
