Can you make a station indestructable?

Is it possible to make a station that cannot be destroyed?

so lets say it can loose all its crew and so on but cannot actually blow up and only recaptured?

You could set the hull strength to 9,999,999,999,999? Good luck blowing that up.

not quite what i want really, i want it so say the station can only ever loose all its crew but not be blown up... so baically it can not die but that command seems to do nothing in the mpa editor and anything thats captured looses its special stats anyway...

i think we both have the same idea Doca,

just out of wonder Doca, what is the command in the map editor CanNotDie meant to actually do?

Isn't there an odf command (used for research pods at the moment) that makes a unit invincible?

Though, as it's an odf thing it would do it for ALL units of that type, not just one. Unless you make a new odf for it...

CanNotDie may be for Single Player mission, to cause a loss for the team that has the unit if it dies.

If that's the case, using it could make for some interesting maps, no?

im not sure what it does, ive created a few maps with it and everytime the ship or station has still died?
