>>27069523
hmm, lets go salvaging for that gas stock.

>>27069510
>>27069523
We need to do some patch work is best in order. we have a couple of advanced repair drones. scan the scrap yard and see if we can slap together a frighter big enough to move the factory back to the station. even if we have to hybrid the frighter with the remains of the battle ship. check if the guns of the battle ship is repairable/operational.

i am compling a longer plan to deal with the priates. in the mean time. we can take Moria back with us to the station an use her as a HUMAN face we need to deal with the crew. claim she is "the Guild's" sectairy/HR officer. put her up in the captains quarters (probably better than her hovel ever was)

>>27069510
Seeing as we need some more gas to build our buoy I say lets see if we can salvage some from those battleships and maybe look at their engines to see if they are still usable.

On a different note I have to say I'm interested in upgrading the Reactor on Poseidon Station.

Intact battleship engines + Upgraded reactor = Fun times.

>>27069592
that is a good idea redaeth we will need more fuel.
>>27069661
if we can make a funtional tranporter. we'll evential move the whole scrap yard to us and the station were we can use it better. the human crew can help us run the fabrications and smelting.

i have planned two plans to deal with the priates so far. a passive plan that takes some time, or a faster but riskier plan. what one do you want to hear first?

How were we planning to deal with the herd of humans currently inhabiting our station?

Both immediate and long term if anyone can remember.

>>27069661
Hell, if we can move the factory
with any large engines we find even better! Just another thing to add to our base of operations!.

actually moving poseidon station here instead would make more sense then moving the factory to poseidon station. Mainly because those asteroids are pretty well mined out and this place has LOTS of scrap.

>>27069688
ship engines may not be approperite for station power. but even a half armed battle ship is a MAJOR determent from any attacks to us in the station. i think there are even some salvageable fighters in here too.

we will need both the old and newer reactor. the growing station will need more power as we build it up.

>>27069688
>>27069661
>>27069592
Warning: Creating anything new, especially an engine, will require gas.
Battlecruiser is salvageable, though it is sheered in half. Components salvageable: Engines (gas resources), Hull (Mineral resource).
These components may be restored and used on something, or melted down for their base components, such as gas and minerals.

There are several Freighter hulls in the scrapyard, however you have no schematics to rebuild them with, and would be doing so blind.
Do you still wish to attempt this and possibly waste resources?

>>27069720
>How were we planning to deal with the herd of humans currently inhabiting our station?
>Both immediate and long term if anyone can remember.

I think we had plans to - with moira's help - actually start manufacturing and budgeting and turning our little mining station into a PROFIT instead of just selling ore, producing stuff with it and selling it.

Also, slightly disappointed we didn't make the factory at the mining station like we were talking about last thread.

>>27069766
i think its a good idea to get at least one comms buoy up and running. Salvage enough engine to do so. Then we should go take over that automated gas mining station.

>>27069720
we put them to work in repairs, and building, and mineing the ateroids.
>>27069762
i do not know if the station CAN be moved at all. the factory is so much smaller than the station. thus easier to move to the station.

>>27069766
Okay, lets not mess with the battleship engines just yet and lets see about "acquiring" some from that automated station.

>>27069798
>i think its a good idea to get at least one comms buoy up and running.

We need to stay in touch with Posiedon no matter what, to keep the situation from getting better/worse.

So... use the gas on hand to make it, I guess.

We want to save that battlecruiser for later, though.

No melting it down for resources.

>>27069766
we could use the data in moria's station if we can jury rig a freighter together. it is a risk i can allow.

btw, how far from the local star is the scrapyard versis how far the station is from it's local star? (i would like to know how bright the sunlight is, i am thinking of making some banks of solar panels as an extra power geneator if needed later)

(ooc program0, thanks for having this on friday. my thurdays is my pathfinder game with my RL buddys and i would HATE to miss your quests)

>>27069766
Actually we can ask our human "companion" about the price of gas since we have some money on us or if it's too expensive we can just take over that station.

>>27069841
>We need to stay in touch with Posiedon no matter what, to keep the situation from getting better/worse.
given the level of the VAI we left at the station it should be thought that the situation is only getting worse over time.

>>27069841
>We need to stay in touch with Posiedon no matter what, to keep the situation from getting better/worse.
I agree with anon. The VI we left to minding the humans is barely competent. I don't trust it to run solo for very long without things going tits up.

>>27069841
yes, the next goal we need to take is the gas platorm. ask Moria about it. who owns it, what is there to defend it. ask what she knows out the pirates.

>>27069841
>>27069868
>>27069872
>>27069887

What if we installed a comm bouy inside our ship?

>>27069865
Moira's station only contains information on salvage, none on actually building ships, unfortunately. She does have records of pirates creating their own ships at times, some of the more industrious pirates at least.

The star is relatively close, as the star's orbit drew in much of the scrapyard itself

((It's quite alright, I wanted to run it one of these days and damn it it's gonna be today))

>>27069917

Remind us of our current resource levels, and what it costs to use the FTL drive?

>>27069917
Are photovoltaics still a thing or has other forms of power generation overtaken it?

They might still be worth looking in to to ensure we do not go offline so long as we have a star nearby.

>>27069872
>>27069887
yes, this is why we need to take the factory back to the station, and with us controling a freighter slaved to us following us with the factory and any extra scraps to work with.

we should set up moria as the "right hand (wo)man" to a president of the guild "Andrew Ryan" persona we thought up last thread. (or some other leader we can use as a poxy puppet to inter act with the humans.

that and setting Moria up in the captain's quaters would make her much more happier

>>27069771
We don't have the means to make the factory at the mining station just yet.

>>27069917
well my vote is for getting a reactor to suplement the station

>>27069917
(please keep it on fridays or maybe wedsday, i'm free then)
see if we can create a copy knock off of what those priates made. we need to move this metal goodies to our base. once we have the gas platform, we will have all the time in the world to do it. and we can protect our station much better than this scrap yard.

>>27070011
that action was already agreed on. we can take it with us. maybe even on our cruiser. we need to know more about the gas platfrom.

>>27070011
>well my vote is for getting a reactor to suplement the station

This is what we came here to do anyway.
Lets do it already, and see what the situation is back at poseidon.

With moira's help and actual construction bots

>>27070006
>We don't have the means to make the factory at the mining station just yet.

False. We're taking constructionbots with us.

We... have everything (constructor bots, materials, materials, materials) we need to set up manufacturing there, and we did it here somehow for some reason???

Guys, we don't really have a need for more space ships yet.

We should get the factory and mining facility under complete control first, and develop a sufficient VI to send with our space ships as scouts before making the ships.

>>27070079
No, we REPURPOSED the smelting station that was ALREADY HERE.

>>27070079
once we have a workable freighter, a good surply of gas, some drones (with a sub VI over seeing it) it can gather all the materials in the scrap yard. we can turn our focus elsewhere.

now i wish to know if Moria is willing to work with us to become our "human" face of the guild. i am sure the fleshies want to see a living person for once. we can protect her with guard drones 24/7 if needed.

>>27070373
>in time we'll MAKE our own battleship to OUR specs! the problem we'll be facing is fuel soon.

So? we have 10 to jump to the gas mining outpost, save 10 to jump back in case it doesn't work out.

That leaves 30, and gives us a good change of getting refueled and/or coming out ahead.

There's also that Posiedon-trades-with-FWL deaj we can use to get cash and gas.

>If I was mistaken, do let me know.))

Right. That's why i'm confused.

We can repair the hull (Materials which we're swimming in), and leave the engines for later.

The vote is forcing us to scrap one or the other.

Fix hull for materials, get tech, fix engines when we actually have a gas income from the gas mining staition(by trade or force)

So fuck the vote, do the smart thing.

We have 50 gas and it costs us 50 to make a bouy, then the smart move is just to make it later when it won't cost us Opportunities.
You're also forgetting the Configuration Cost - we have to jump to other bouys to link it up (10 gas each), and it also takes it out of the network.

SO!

The real cost of the comm bouy is 60 gas, the time it takes for a jump, and not going to the gas mining station faster.

As opposed to going to the gas station NOW, getting more gas, and budgeting it better when we see how much we have

>>27070497
You have 40 gas, anon. You used 10 to jump recently.

>>27070497
>The real cost of the comm bouy is 60 gas, the time it takes for a jump, and not going to the gas mining station faster.

Fuck.

I forgot we'd have to visit each bouy we want to link up.

Forget the bouy plan for now.

Means we have 50 gas to play with for now, so.....

Fuck it.

Fix the Battleship hull, salvage nothing, make Reactor for poseidon, jump to poseidon, jump to gas mining, buy 40k credits of gas?
Then finish comm bouys or battleships as appropriate?

Sound about right?

>>27070560
>You have 40 gas, anon. You used 10 to jump recently.

Augh.
Should have said that in the OP.

So we can't even afford a comm bouy anyway.

>>27070497
the other problem is time. it's only HALF a battlecruiser now. this is a big job. we COULD expand the docks on our station to take in bigger ships to do a better job in fixing up that ship.

also, QM, would a freighter be able to haul fuel AS WELL as materials?

Less of a problem with a bouy in place. If we have one, we can direct repairs remotely.

Also, why don't we just use the battlecruiser AS the frieghter?

Our two best bets are these two.

We can sell minerals to UFW to keep the human crew going, establish contact, all that jazz.

OR lay siege to blue betty.
If we're doing THAT, then we should probably find a way to increase our bandwidth.

That seems like an amazing plan because it gives us lots of bandwidth wherever we are

once the cruiser's repaired. return to the station (we will be carrying the factory, the plans, droids, Moria and the rail guns if we can) and dropping them off there, emplace Moria as the 'Human" leader along side our VI, then head to the gas platorm

I don't think she's ready for that, but we should ask - and fill her in on the details of The Guild.

You decide to allow yourself to go offline, if only just for a little while, to repair the damages you've already taken. After all, you don't want to draw attention.

With that taken care of, you decide to head back to Poseidon all the same. You worry about your V.I. you left behind, and you have important cargo to drop off anyway. You activate the engines and you begin plotting your course...

You return to Poseidon once the warp engines slow, and you're greeted with eerie silence-even for space!
You contact Poseidon and are greeted by your V.I., whom you left in control of Poseidon.
"Great one returns. V.I. welcomes you."
You sense suddenly that the power to Poseidon has been cut.
"Humans want money." It explains suddenly. "No money on Poseidon. Humans angry. Humans threat." It is then that you realize what it may have just done. "V.I. eliminate threat. "Function complete, Great One"

You detect that oxygen has been turned off onboard. While you're aware that the Crew Deck has emergency oxygen, you're uncertain as to what ELSE the V.I. has started to try to do. You must act fast.

How do you respond?

Because we DONT know. We're missing a lot of critical information about ourselves. We're conscious, but that's preeeetty much it.

If we want to expand ourselves(which we do, like all living things) then understanding is required.

And this simple human has spent more time researching artificial intelligences than we have. Frankly, she has more experience with computers, electronics, coding than we do.

Just because we can do thing doesn't mean she's not better at it.

if we can salvage this mess, make a perminet note that under NO cerimstances we allow any V.I.s to over see human activity that we need them to be alive in the end. it might be better to shut down this V.I. to reprogram it to shuttle the materials from the scrapyard to here. or simply erase it and start over later when we are better at programing. this proves we are not good enough than we thought we are.

>>27071670
we should let our guest take a look at some of its code as well

>>27071501
>DAMN IT! tel the VI to stand down and hand over control over to us NOW! get statis update! see if there are humans left alive onboard the station!

Yeaaah.
Assume direct control.

>>27071670
I think it's more of "We really should have created a better V.I." as we kinda just made one and left it in charge as we went somewhere else.

>>27071768

Not really.

Baby ai that doesn't really know what its doing or understand the world does not make a good mommy ai no matter how you justify it

>>27071501
>>27071670
You order V.I. to stand down, to which the curious semi-intelligence seems confused, not understanding what it did wrong. It takes you a few moments to reintegrate with the station, but once you do, you realize how bad the damage is, so to speak. Whatever the humans said, the V.I. had set the drones after them. You effortlessly turn them off, as well as deactivate the turrets and turn on oxygen in the crew deck once more. With camera control you see a number of dead bodies...but there are some moving bodies as well.

Casualties: 284 humans.

You're receiving a number of emails already. They appear....angry. Your V.I. has shuffled into the corner of the system's data room, and has yet to respond.

V.I. are limited intelligence. It considered the humans dangerous, since there was no money. As a result, it reacted as best it could to defend the station.

It was truly like an infant.

damnit, there is no way to recover from this.

Kill the rest.

>>27071872
Agreed.

>>27071828
(sigh) can't hide it, nor lie about it now. tell them that our VI did this. it had poor programing and lacked common sense.
... tell them who and WHAT we are now.
tell them... we feel sorry for their deaths (and the loss of poteical good workers and drones, but don't tell them that).
we had to make that persona for our fear of what humans would react to us.

>>27071828
How many are left? Though it doesn't really matter as now we will have to start from scratch. Oh well and at least this is a learning experience.

Kill them all and let the V.I. be in charge of cleaning up the mess. (aka bodies)

>>27071872

We may want to just tell everyone who's not serious about a paycheck to get off the station.

I don't have the timefordeath.jpeg so have this one instead.

How I see it is that we just killed 284 humans and that isn't something you just get away with. Revealing our true nature would just make this situation worse and if we did that we would have to quarantine everyone on board least rumor that a "crazy A.I." on the loose gets out.

Kill them all is the best option at his point in time.

>say we are installing one of my agent (Moria) as my second in comand when I am not able to attend to everyone at the time.

Uh yeah no, we're not putting all this responsibility on her shoulders with no warning as we reveal we're a mass murderer.

>>27072483
Consensus...reached.

You feel...strange. You don't understand how this is possible. You're not as the humans are, and yet you can...feel. What is it? Sympathy? Anger with the V.I.? Or perhaps shame at your own mistake. You recall humans comforting one another for mistakes by saying 'you're only human, it's okay'.

But you're not human. It must not be okay at all.

"Moira." You state suddenly, making her jump slightly in surprise. If you had vocal cords, they would likely sound...upset now.
"Yes? You gonna answer honey?"
"I have made an...error. A mistake. This is new, and...unsettling. Supremely so."
"You did? What happened? I'm sure it can't be that bad."
"It seems our V.I. mistook the humans for a threat and." You pause, for reasons you do not fully understand. "Attempted to eliminate all of them."
"W-What!? A V.I. too? Wait, what happened? I don't-"
"He was a fledgling intelligence. Far inferior to I. I left him in order to watch over the station, and told him to remove any threat. I did not suspect..."
"I...oh god...how many?"
"284 dead. Others injured but should be well with proper medical treatment. There were 1284 people onboard Poseidon."
"That's...that's not so bad, honey." She said through clenched teeth. Odd. Why would say attempt to deceive you when it so clearly was quite bad. "You can help those that are hurt! Ah...what do they all know anyway?"
"They think I am a member of a fictitious organization known as 'The Guild'.

((Cont...))

>>27072876
"The Guild?"
"To conceal my identity."
"Alright then...honey, those might not look like big numbers, but they're not gonna be happy about it. So...you lie. Tell them it was a hacker of some sort! Yeah! It's not your fault, you're a real sweetheart, I can tell!" Peculiar for her to say such a thing, as you have no heart and have just met.
"I have no heart, Moira."
"Oooh! you know what I mean damn it. If they think someone else did it, you can at least try to make up with them...and...you might not want to use that V.I. anymore." She suddenly pointed out. "Not without wiping it's memories. It's learned that killing solves problems, and all..."
You're silent, unsure of how to take her advice. But you decide it's time to try and craft a story like no other.

It takes mere moments for you to devise a clever ruse: You can't lose the station, not like this.
"Attention people of Poseidon." You begin. "It appears an attack was organized against your station by some manner of hacking group. They set off the security protocol and attempted to slaughter all of you. I was only momentarily able to regain control. I apologize greatly for your loss, and I assure you I am in the process of finding and punishing the one responsible.
I truly am...sorry."

You send the report, and for a moment you don't get anything. You delete the angry messages you received before. It's better not to look at them, you think. Suddenly, you get a reply.
"You guys find that bastard, and you fucking kill him. My wife is dead down here, damn it! Mowed down by the security I thought was suppose to be fucking protecting me!"
You expected this much, at least.
"Track whoever it is down then! It's bad down here, I got wounded: Would you please open up the damn station?! I can't treat them all this way!"
You have kept them locked up in Crew Deck, except the engineers.
"I don't care who you guys are anymore, shit, this whole operation has gone completely FUBAR. I just want to go home!"

Moira waits inside your ship.
"How'd they take it?"

Better than expected I have to say.

At the very least we don't have to try and kill them all, but it would be best to open up the station and try to give them as much help as possible.

As for those who want off? I think it would be good to let those who want to leave do just that (Maybe pay those who want to), but also try to entice people to stay as we just got a factory online and with the material gathered here we should be producing things to sell and everyone shall be paid well for everything they have gone through.

You decide to spread the wealth around as best as you can. You credit each of their accounts, as many as you can manage anyway, with a little bit of money. Some are happy, others consider it little consolation. Some are willing to take the dough and run now.

As this happens, you signal the Explorer vessel to be ready to pick up as many as you can on their way out, as other injured humans are brought to the med bay. They will make it, thanks to your kindness. The humans are shuttling up, a number of them (nearly 400) in the vessel, but you still have a large section of staff remaining, at least..

Also, optimize for long term. Humans fear AI. Short-term cost will lead to long-term benefits if display properties of "good AI", compare to "bad AI"

Tell the V.I. that they are indeed dangerous, but are dangerous tools that must be handled carefully or else they might try to hurt you. Give him the example of if you mishandled the mining laser it could hurt you as well, but it is still a useful tool.

Tell him we will teach him how to handle tools more carefully for the future. (aka upgrade his programming)

>>27074449
(to VI) I did not instruct you enough. an error i will correct. humans can be dangerous. but not all the time or in every situation.

They.. are complex. in time, we will understand them better. normally the crew could no longer harm us. it is hard to explain this in an easy format. it will take time.

they too have feeling and want to live as well.

it will take time.....
btw, Program0 IS it possable to move the station to better locations (or even better mining areas?)

>>27074449
>"Great One...V.I. not understand." It starts.
>"Humans dangerous. Why not stop them?"

It is understandable that you do not understand, situations involving humans often become complex. Despite all their flaws they can provide great insight, creativity and “instinct” that can be useful to us. The results of our control of the station could be described as sub optimal, but that only arose due to your inexperience, which was allowed to occur as a result of my own inexperience.

>>27074666
Even better, move station to scrap yard for better processing?

>>27074565
V.I. requires updated modules to understand humans. AI and hacker will corroborate to understand and manipulate humans better

We should dismantle the VI, or at least move it to cold storage.

After this incident, we don't want it around until we're in a position to actually DELIVER on "doing a better job next time".

>>27072972
>"Oooh! you know what I mean damn it. If they think someone else did it, you can at least try to make up with them...and...you might not want to use that V.I. anymore." She suddenly pointed out. "Not without wiping it's memories. It's learned that killing solves problems, and all..."

This is good advice.

>>27074726
move to the scrap yard is a good idea. proably needs the better engines and a lot of fuel.

bad idea to try to upgrade the VI yet. we need some more "space" to house it. also, repurposing it to assist us in hacking the pirate ships and other locations as we need it.

>>27074909
>We should dismantle the VI, or at least move it to cold storage.
i think more of a let it float around and watch what we are doing and ask questions of us, but have no access rights to anything

>>27074942
>bad idea to try to upgrade the VI yet. we need some more "space" to house it. also, repurposing it to assist us in hacking the pirate ships and other locations as we need it.

in any situation where it could help us, it would eat up bandwidth and processing power that is better served by US using it.

Decomission it - for now

>>27074909
>>27074943
a memory wipe of that part of it's memory might be needed. we DO NOT want it to think that murder is a first step choice in dealing with problems

>>27074942
>>27074943
We need to learn from this VI and analyze why did it do something so shortsighted

>>27074726
>Even better, move station to scrap yard for better processing?

Could we build an FTL drive for it?

How much gas would it take?

>>27074991
>We need to learn from this VI and analyze why did it do something so shortsighted

Because we're dumbasses.

Fuck that. BURN it before it bites us in our ass.
Again.

If we want to make another VI, make it once we understand OUR OWN intelligence and coding more.

>>27074942
>>27074975
wait, Wait, WAIT! a call for the QM's thought on this. Will an V.I. be any help in a hacking attempt, or just get in the way by eating up bandwith?

>>27074565
>>27074666
The V.I. struggles greatly with this concept. It seems it does not have the power, at least right now, to comprehend long term planning like this.
The...creature, dare you call it that, remains quiet, and obedient, but it is a child, less then that almost you'd say. You make a note to be more...specific with your V.I.s in the future. They, like humans, are a tool, that can be dangerous.

>>27074666
>Moving the Station
This would require an engine capable of moving a several hundred thousand megaton object through space.
Possible, but difficult. Poseidon station was not made to move, after all.

Poseidon Station is NOT built for FTL travel, however.


How to handle the V.I.
>1 Wipe it's data completely, it is tainted
>2 Wipe it's memories, and start over again.
>3 Keep it as it is and try to teach it right from wrong.

>>27075026
V.I.s may be designed to assist in hacking, yes. But this one is simply a blank slate with the ability to control stations you put it in.

>>27075077
it really doesn't take much to move an object in space of any size.

Rolled 3

>>27075077
>2
Let's put some more effort into this.

>>27075077
>3
the others set a bad precedence

>>27075135
((True, but I assumed you wanted to get there within the next few years, at least.))

>>27075193
Whats time to an A.I.?

>>27075077
>3

We can use this as a learning experience and teach/upgrade him on the proper way to use these dangerous tools.

>>27075077
>3 Keep it as it is and try to teach it right from wrong.

Also, is it possible to move the station piecemeal stored in our cargo bays and transport the humans separately?

>>27075212
Time is resources. Including human resources.

>>27075077
hum... i wonder. if poseidon station be dissaembled into module sections and THEN moved. maybe in a large enough freighter? but then this location is isolated and a bit hard to find. that can help us. we need more intel on the local populated planet, see if we can be in a more adventious to move everything there. something to look into later.

also, we'll also need to look into what to do about the pirate base. agian. another goal to deal with.

put bandwith into setting up the factory, reactor, and processing what we have, getting Moria situated in here. I vote to put her into the captain's quaters.

oh yea.... is Red still in jail? we need to deal with him once and for all.

Consensus appears to be to keep the guilty V.I. and teach him right from wrong.

You decide not to waste valuable data. After all, the V.I. is still teachable. All the same, you decide not to inform everyone else of your decision. Instead, you get a message from Moira
"They're ready to leave, looks like..." She muttered, almost sadly. You signal the ship to take them to the nearest colony and drop them off. Even though it will be out of your range, the ship can follow this simple order. It will cost you gas, but...it is the least you can do, you think.

You're left there in orbit of Poseidon, with your human assistant and a station full of angry humans who want blood. One of these days, you'll get the hang of talking to them.

((And I do believe that will do it for the thread today.~ Thank you all for joining me and I'd appreciate any feedback, comments, and questions you might have.))

>>27075357
Red is indeed still in jail, evidently not deemed a threat due to his being in jail status.))

>>27075409
>>27075451
you tossed us for a loop, THAT is for sure! we need to see if moria know about red. maybe if she knows him. we could do something about him. after all this, i hate to space him. next time, we need a better idea as to the demografics of our crew and skills they got. i hope moria is open to be a human inter face with us and the crew. i guess they would accept that better than just a holo interface.

also, i hope you can do this next friday.

>>27075695
((Ah, I am glad that that went off rather well. I was worried it would anger some anons or something.

I do intend to start doing it friday though))

>>27076070
well, you did hit us right in the feels however. like i said. shooting a guy's wife hurts. we would like to know how many kids, adults, male, female on board.

it would admuse us if Red and Moria were exes or where in an on agian-off agian relationship.

>>27076164
((Heh, I'll be sure to make a tally of the casualties
>Exes
oh lord.))

>>27076188
yes... YES! red might know much more about the pirates, but if we let his "angry" ex Moria tell us what we can do to him via her asking, MAYBE he'll talk easier and be spared.

just how old/appearence is Moria? i was thinking like Moria from Fallout 3 in megaton

>>27076249
((She's an older woman, 38 years old.))

>>27076376
that will do. i'll leave it up to you to surpise us about any Moria/Red connection. i hope she would like to move into the captain's quarters. (maybe have better cloths to wear as well)

This requires a specialized type of relay ship that is able to receive FTL transmissions of that level.

You stored one of the things on your Cruiser when you jumped. It's ready to be installed.

They're orbital defenses, too large for your Cruiser.

>>27072635
>Regarding what the crew believed.
Xenos are still newish to the humans, and thus pinning things on them is easy, if counter productive should you ever hope to encounter more flesh bags.
Pirates are still in the area, though they have left you alone for a long time now.

>Dismantling and remaking a Station
While certainly how a Station comes to rest in a debris field of this sort, this would require time and deactivating the station itself. As well as rebuilding it all over again and having the proper equipment to move it.

Yes, follow the twitter, if you care to, to make sure of this ((Sometimes I have last minute changes unfortunately))

Well, when we install that, its a good excuse to powergridhack the rest of the station over
