Some jerk destroyed the stardock.   Any way to make a new one?  Money isn't an option.

It will come back on its own. From the T menu hit * and look for Radiation Lifetime. This is the number of externs that must pass before the dock is restored.

If you're the sysop you can log on as an observer and dock there, it'll ask if you want to rebuild.

Otherwise you have to wait till rad clear as fork said. It could be anywhere from 1 day to 1 month.

Also remember it is a cycle. The radiation lifetime is cycle starting
from the start date.  If radiation lifetime is 7 days, its a 7 day
cycle, if the radiation lifetime is 3 days, then it is a 3 day cycle.



for a 7 day cycle....

Say you blow SD 20 days after the start, then it will be back on day 21
(from the game start date) or if you blow it on day 15, it will still
come back on day 21 (from the game start date)



for a 3 day cycle....


Say you blow SD 7 days after the start, then it will be back on day 9
(from the game start date) or if you blow it on day 8, it will still
come back on day 9 (from the game start date)

I understand the Star Dock comes back stronger each time it is destroyed and some sysops will blow it up and rebuild it a few times before opening a game to make it resistant to player attacks.

Correct....Dock as well as Terra Alpha and Rylos double in defence rating each time ANY one of them is destroyed.

That is factually incorrect. They don't double, the defense rating increases by 2500 points for every special port blown. If you blow dock, all of the others go up by 2500, and dock will go up too when it rebuilds. There is one uniform rating that effects all special (class 0 and 9) ports and it is incremented by 2500 every time.

The actual damage that the ports can do to you and can withstand from you is randomized, but it tends to increase with the defense rating. Still it is possible to blow dock, get a bump on the defense rating, but still have stardock not attack any higher the next time given the randomness.

Here's some data I collected a while back. Defense rating, number of waves it took to kill dock, and the blasts it shot back for.

Quote:
2500    1 wave     No blasts
5000    2 waves    Blasts: 15970
7500    3 waves    Blasts: 28965, 4649
10000   3 waves    Blasts: 42033, 22158
12500   4 waves    Blasts: 75533, 43363, 21131
15000   5 waves    Blasts: 125054, 43298, 30528, 11615
17500   6 waves    Blasts: 181169, 54167, 53423, 26096, 12243
20000   7 waves    Blasts: 244978, 91911, 54473, 58286, 90809, 32373
22500   7 waves    Blasts: 155248, 141245, 68369, 57032, 30985, 39287
25000   8 waves    Blasts: 163857, 240527, 177985, 156587, 105470, 45298, 20005


It would be nice if the current dock rating could be edited and transferred via TWA. Would save sysops a lot of hassle.

Blowing dock is acceptable on some servers and not on others. It can be a valid strategy - esp against some scripts.

Uhm... I created a super ship, I think it was 50k. I don't have that data around at the moment. It was based on que's super ship subzero mod since that's why I was testing it.
