Upwell Structures can be attacked and destroyed by other players or corporations.  To offset the difficulty in constantly needing to defend a static structure, Upwell Structures can only be attacked in a specific vulnerability window. The size of this window varies with the type and size of the structure.

Once an attack is launched, the structure enters a "repair" state with a shorter timer than the vulnerability window.  If the timer for the repair window ticks to zero, the structure reenters the vulnerability state. If the vulnerability timer also expires, the structure repairs completely, setting hull, armor, and shield layers to their maximum values.


the attackers succeed in depleting either the shield or the armor layer, the structure enters an invulnerability state, allowing the defenders to reinforce.  This reinforcement phase lasts 24 hours between after destroying the shields, and in known space, another 6 days after destroying the armor. In wormhole space, the timer for both invulnerable states is 24 hours, to account for the increased difficulty in sustained offensive operations.

If the attackers succeed in depleting the structure hit points, the structure is immediately destroyed.

While Upwell Structures will need a defense fleet to turn away most serious attacks, the structures themselves are not entirely defenseless, and can be fitted with a variety of
