How to "reset" watchtower

[about47trexes]

Hey all, so my watchtower ended very early and unexpectedly. I still had major and minor array missions that took up nearly the whole screen. I took a few hubs down, and all of a sudden its over??? I went to stardock and the bartender is telling me all the listening posts and arrays are destroyed. I can't find new arrays, the ambushes stopped, and now I am on the final mission to attack watchtower. How did this happen?

Is there a command I can run to restart the hub and array quests, as well as re-enable the ambushes? I love the space combat, and I just got a ship to fight with and now I cant! I do not want to simply go through the unity for this, I really want to fix this in my current game.

I really hope someone can help!

Hi there, could you please share your mod list with us? Which platform are you playing on?

Did you by any chance find and destroy major hub array Omega? That's the last of the five major hub arrays, and once you destroy it, all the other remaining hub arrays are destroyed. Harper will then tell you that all the listening posts are destroyed and she will no longer accept any intel. The major arrays in order are Alpha, Kappa, Omicron, Upsilon and Omega. That's the order they will appear in your "Activities" section with the objective "Locate Watchtower Array Hub xxxxx". It might be possible to stumble across Omega and destroy ahead it of the others.

Looking at the patch notes for 1.0.3, they have this stated:

"Fixed a bug that was occurring for some players, where destroying a Major array would cause all minor arrays to be destroyed as well, instead of just those linked to it."

As far resetting, probably all you can do is to role back to a save before you came across and destroyed Omega. The bad part is, during some testing, I found that Omega sometimes isn't labeled by name if you come across it prematurely. It'll just be labeled Watchtower Array.
