Didn't Rebirth put the outside world on hold while you were in a station? Either that, or set it to where ships wouldn't attack stations while you were in it?

Try your own experiment: get some ships to attack a station, and board it. Hang out on the station for 5-10 minutes, then leave.

In XR the outside world was not paused. You can witness battles outside of the station as long as there are some kind of windows on the docking platform. It's beautiful and I'm glad we can still do this in X4.

Don't think there was ever any kind of "red alert" alarm though. Hoping there is such a thing this time around.

Of course, I strongly suspect this is moddable if it's not vanilla.

Alarm is not a thing in XR but you can hear all the weapons firing if the station is under fire.

Stations have a lot of health, even separate modules take quite a lot of pounding before blowing up. Generally AI didn't have the fleet numbers to just blow one up instantly, you have plenty of time to reach your ship. But yes your dead if you can't manage your evacuation in time.

But what happens when you're on a station when it reaches critical damage? Do you see any explosions or sparks inside? Or does it just have a Critical Existence Failure, and immediately show the Game Over screen?

As others have said the station you are on in Rebirth can get attacked, there are no 'extra' effects other than the actual weapons hitting the station, and I highly doubt anything other than the game over screen happens if the specific module you are on gets destroyed.

On a related note... I hope they have made AI actually do something when under attack. I was on a station in Rebirth once that was getting attacked by a massive Xenon fleet (that I... Ummm.... 'spawned') and im running around inside knowing that its about to blow, the sound of weapon fire all over the place, and some guy I walk past says "Whats with all the AI fuss?"

You could see see battles anytime via F3 if that was the third person camera key and see the station outside. Same as large ships when you docked.

If they blew up the dock you were on you would die.

you have plenty of time to reach your ship

yeah, but it won't be that easy this time with all those emergency exits pointing you away from docking area

[Tomonor]

You just press space on a docking platform, jump out of the artificial gravity zone and fight the Xenon ships with your lightsaber.

….or attack them with your spacesuit repair laser.......??? Ooops.

I do hope we still have repair options, besides paying a shipyard to do the work.

Ships get towed down same as with ED. I guess those exit signs might be right.
