It would be nice if we could get a Public CREST endpoint where you could find out the status of a station.

Under Current SOV mechanics it would return: Normal / Shield Reinforced / Armor Reinforced.

Under New SOV mechanics it would return: Normal / Reinforced / Freeport.

Also it would NOT expose a timer only the status of the station. I can think of quite a few ideas why this would be valuable to the API developers an the community.

Does a reinforced station prevent everyone from docking at it?

If the answer to this is "no, the owners can still dock there", then I would say "reinforced should not appear in CREST but Normal/Freeport should." There will already be an alliance mail that goes out if your station comes under attack.

No the stations docking rights still apply during reinforced under the new mechanics, if i'm wrong about this please correct me, and your idea would work as well. And your right, even if it was just Normal / Freeport I would be just fine with that too.

Also i didn't mention this but there could be a 1 hr delay on the status being updated on the CREST.
