  • [p]System Colonisation construction efforts and fully constructed facilities can now be demolished or cancelled.[/p]
    • [p]Facilities and construction efforts marked for demolition will be removed on the following weekly maintenance[/p]
    • [p]After marking a facility or construction effort for demolition, the system architect can cancel the demolition any time before the next weekly maintenance[/p]

    • [p]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[/p]

      • [p]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[/p]
