Some effects, such as an ion storm, a pulsar weapon, or basic damage can disable a station and eliminates its operational capabilities. You cannot take any actions normally granted by the disabled station unless otherwise indicated. Certain stations like Engines, Life Support, or Shields have additional effects when disabled, described in their respective sections. If a station is destroyed, it is also disabled.
