How to destroy a spacestation?

"In progress" I reloaded a previous savegame and destroyed it again but nothing changed. I just can't get mission complete message. I even went back to homebase and then back to the system of the enemy base... guess what it wasn't there anymore. Maybe a patch is in order?

When I have a chance, I will load up the release demo and run through it to see what happens. Unfortunately, that may take some time. Has anyone else passed this point of the demo?

EDIT: The other thing you may want to do is send a copy of the save to Malfador, along with a description of the situation. If there is a bug, that might help him find it.

I blew the starbase using hit and run tactics, lots of shield restorers, CSMs, and APBs. No bug afterwards.

Is this spacestation you're talking about very different to the one at the start that gives you your orders?

I killed that with basic light weapons on the starter ship. This is quite a tactical game.

When I went to go blow up that station, I used its nearby planet. Not for cover, though...I'd use it to repair.

See, even though you're bLasting the heck out of their space station in orbit, the people on the planet below still figure your money is good, so they'll patch you up (after all, those darn space pirates are everyone's problem...why, we heard that there were some space pirates attacking our station! Go give 'em hell, you Terran Scum!), which of course allows me to continually strafe the station in my brand new Mark III Cruiser that I bought special for the occasion.

Actually, you don't even need the planet. You can use the station itself. (at least for the Terran one, not sure you can dock with the others)
