• System Colonisation construction efforts and fully constructed facilities can now be demolished or cancelled.

  • Facilities and construction efforts marked for demolition will be removed on the following weekly maintenance

  • After marking a facility or construction effort for demolition, the system architect can cancel the demolition any time before the next weekly maintenance

  • The primary/initial port in a colonised system cannot be demolished

  • Slots and construction points are refunded on demolition during weekly maintenance

  • Tier 2 and 3 construction points can go negative in the event a commander demolishes facilities that earned those points whilst also keeping the tier 2 or 3 facility that used those points

  • Facilities that depend on another type to be constructed need to be demolished first before demolishing the parent facility

    • For example: A relay station is needed in the system in order to construct a security station, so the security station needs to be demolished on the weekly tick before the relay station can be marked for demolition the following week. If there are 2 relay stations however, one of them can be demolished since there is another to maintain the dependency

  • Any missions that were accepted at a facility that is later demolished will be deleted along the facility during weekly maintenance

  • Any commodities put into a construction effort that gets cancelled will be lost and not refunded

  • Custom renaming rights nor the ARX cost will not be refunded if a station they were bought for is demolished

• System Colonisation commodities requirements for incomplete constructions are now listed when selecting the system on the Galaxy Map or selecting the facility on the System Map
