A '''Damaged Starport''' is a [[Starport]] that has previouslybeen beingdamaged attackedin bya [[Thargoid|Thargoids]] and has became damagedattack. These Starports will be displayed on the [[Galaxy Map]], and these Starports cantheir automaticallystatus updated on [[GalNet]].
 
==Overview==
Damaged Starports are normal space stationstations that can often appear outside of [[Core Systems|The Bubble]],. whereDuring [[Power|Powers]] is presenting. Whenan [[Incursion]] is occurr, one or more damaged Starports can appear in incursiona [[star system]] incan whichbe damaged by attacking Thargoids, and [[Rescue Vessel|Rescue Megaships]] will be deployed to rescuenearby peoplessystems thatto stillcoordinate inefforts thisto Starport.repel Accordingthe toThargoids theand [[GalNet]],rescue Thepersonnel Oraclewho inare thestill [[Delphi]]trapped systemwithin beganthose tumblingStarports. outA ofDamaged orbitStarport followingis a recentdangerous Thargoid attacklocation, are known as thecatastrophic firstmalfunctions damaged Starport ever recordedand onpotentially the [[Milkycontinued Way]]presence andof areThargoids consideredrender stablizedattempting byto impendentdock Pilotsextremely whohazardous havefor riskedany their life to save peoplesships in the Oraclearea; beforenevertheless, itevacuating crashescivilians thecan moonbe anda beinglucrative repairedpastime byfor theany Delphi's humans.independent pilots willing to risk their ships.
 
Punishment of the no fire zone is being partially reduced: no bounty is gained when fire weapons in no fire zone, through fine can still gained from firing.

==History==
{{Quote|We are immensely grateful to those courageous Commanders for helping to prevent what could have been one of the most horrific disasters in modern history.|Spokesperson for Sirius Inc after the event of The Fall of the Oracle, displayed on the GalNet}}
Before 14 December 14, 3303, large-scale attacks onagainst this scaleStarports were apparently rare. untilAt Decemberthat 14time, 3303, when a number of stations in the [[Pleiades Nebula]] were devastated by the Thargoids. InOn 24 May, 3307, [[The Oracle]] Starport located in the [[Delphi]] system beingwas attacked by ThargoidThargoids, inbeing [[Secondthe Thargoidfirst War]]Starport on record to take such comprehensive damage. This damage led to a castrophiccatastrophic failure that shutdownshut down The Oracle's thruster systems, makingdestabilizing The OracleOracle’s fallingorbit downand Delphi 5threatening a oncollision literallywith the moon below.

Titan's Daughter also experienced similar damage on a later stablizeddate.
 
Further stations throughout the Core Systems have been damaged as a result of the [[Second Thargoid War]].
 
==Effects==
Starports in a system experiencing an [[Incursion]] will first enter an "under attack" state, which is marked with a red skull icon on the [[Galaxy Map]]. Starports in this state do not experience any adverse effects, but the local system will experience increased Thargoid activity. After each week in which human forces fail to repel the Thargoid incursion, one Starport in the system will enter the "damaged" state, which is marked with a fire icon on the Galaxy Map.
 
Starports in a damaged state will experience multiple adverse effects:
* Nearly all Starport services will be disabled, and the service interface will be glitched.
* An emergency protocol will be activated to evacuate remaining civilians on the damaged Starport; this takes the form of Evacuation Missions available from the Passenger Lounge.
* [[Docking Computer]] usage is disabled, forcing incoming ships to dock with the Starport manually.
* Ships that enter the Starport corridor will gain [[heat]] over time, even when docked.
* Random explosions can occur in the Starport corridor, potentially damaging and displacing ships inside.
* Some [[Black Box]]es will be available for salvage within the Starport corridor.
* A breach in the Starport's reactor core will leak radiation to the Starport's exterior, disrupting nearby ships' [[HUD]]s.
* No-fire zone punishments are partially reduced; bounties will not be imposed (though fines may still be accrued), and the station's defense turrets will not fire at attacking vessels (however, [[System Authority Vessel]]s will still defend the Starport from attackers).
 
== Evacuation Missions ==
When a Starport is damaged, the [[Mission Board]] is still accessible. Passenger missions are replaced with evacuation missions, which require one or more [[Passenger Cabin]]s to accept; these missions require pilots to carry passengers to a deployed [[Rescue Vessel]]. This mission type can reward anywhere from tens of thousands to tens of millions of [[Credits]], depending on the Starport being evacuated.
 
==Repairing==
After the system enters a [[Post-Thargoid Recovery]] state, the Starport will enter a repairing phase which is marked with an orange wrench on the Galaxy Map. During this state, the system's population will begin efforts to repair damaged Starports, which requires a large amount of materials over the course of days or even weeks. [[Commander]]s cam accelerate the progress by delivering necessary materials to the system. Once the repairs are complete, the previously damaged Starport will return to full operations.
