Station missions are now available! Each factional station has three subsystems - hull, shield, and life support. Every now and then, the subssytems require some maintenance.

You can use STATION STATUS while standing in it to see the status of its subsystems - if a subssytem gets too low, the station may start malfunctioning, and should any go below 10%, you will not be able to dock at it at all.

To repair the station, you need to complete a mission to obtain the necessary parts. You can use the STATION MISSION LIST command to check if there are any missions open, STATION MISSION <id> SHOW to see details, and STATION MISSION <id> COMPLETE to complete it once you have performed the task. The first two commands are available anywhere, the third one can be performed at your homeworld or the factional station only. Missions are available to faction membes only.

To complete a mission, you need two things. A specified amount of commodities in your storage, and a specified item. These items are available from shady shops that spawn in random locations around the game ... If the mission has been active for 24 hours, its description will also tell you the area that the sought item can be found at. Items from other sources can be used as well, though!

We will be expanding on this system in the future, adding more features and mission types - for now, the basic functionality is in so we can make sure that the system is running smoothly.

As always, please report any issues in the usual way.
