Destroy Ship

Destroy Ship

Destroys a corporation ship for testing. Performs the full end-to-end flow: database soft-delete, pseudo-character cleanup, and ship.destroyed event emission so connected clients update in real-time.

Uses the Supabase REST API and existing record_event_with_recipients RPC — no new edge functions required.

Parameters

Ask the user for:

• ship_id: UUID of the ship to destroy (required)

Steps

1. Source environment variables

set -a && source .env.supabase && set +a

2. Look up the ship

Fetch the ship from ship_instances via the REST API. It must exist and not already be destroyed.

curl -s "${SUPABASE_URL}/rest/v1/ship_instances?ship_id=eq.<ship_id>&destroyed_at=is.null&select=ship_id,ship_type,ship_name,current_sector,owner_type,owner_character_id,owner_corporation_id" \
  -H "apikey: ${SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY}"

If the result is an empty array, the ship either doesn't exist or is already destroyed. Report this and stop.

Save the ship details for subsequent steps: ship_type, ship_name, current_sector, owner_type, owner_corporation_id.

3. Look up the character name

For corporation ships, the pseudo-character has character_id = ship_id. For personal ships, use owner_character_id.

curl -s "${SUPABASE_URL}/rest/v1/characters?character_id=eq.<character_id>&select=character_id,name" \
  -H "apikey: ${SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY}"

Save the character name as player_name for the event payload.

4. Compute event recipients

Query sector occupants and corporation members to build the recipient list.

Sector occupants — all non-destroyed ships in the same sector:

curl -s "${SUPABASE_URL}/rest/v1/ship_instances?current_sector=eq.<sector>&destroyed_at=is.null&select=owner_character_id" \
  -H "apikey: ${SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY}"

Corporation members (if the ship is corporation-owned):

curl -s "${SUPABASE_URL}/rest/v1/corporation_members?corporation_id=eq.<corp_id>&select=character_id" \
  -H "apikey: ${SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY}"

Combine all character IDs, deduplicate, and filter out nulls. Build two parallel arrays:

• p_recipients: array of character UUIDs
• p_reasons: array of reason strings ("sector_observer" for sector occupants, "corp_member" for corp members)

5. Emit ship.destroyed event

Call the existing record_event_with_recipients RPC. This must happen BEFORE the destruction steps so the event references valid data.

The payload shape must match what combat_finalization.ts emits (lines 383-394):

TIMESTAMP=$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.000Z)

curl -s -X POST "${SUPABASE_URL}/rest/v1/rpc/record_event_with_recipients" \
  -H "apikey: ${SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "p_event_type": "ship.destroyed",
    "p_direction": "event_out",
    "p_scope": "sector",
    "p_sector_id": <current_sector>,
    "p_ship_id": "<ship_id>",
    "p_actor_character_id": null,
    "p_payload": {
      "source": {
        "type": "rpc",
        "method": "ship.destroyed",
        "request_id": "admin-destroy",
        "timestamp": "<TIMESTAMP>"
      },
      "timestamp": "<TIMESTAMP>",
      "ship_id": "<ship_id>",
      "ship_type": "<ship_type>",
      "ship_name": "<ship_name>",
      "player_type": "corporation_ship",
      "player_name": "<player_name>",
      "sector": { "id": <current_sector> },
      "combat_id": "admin-destroy",
      "salvage_created": false
    },
    "p_recipients": ["<uuid1>", "<uuid2>"],
    "p_reasons": ["sector_observer", "corp_member"],
    "p_is_broadcast": false
  }'

For personal (non-corp) ships, set "player_type": "human" instead.

6. Execute destruction

Perform database cleanup in this exact order (matches combat_finalization.ts lines 435-481). Use the REST API with the service role key.

a. Unlink character's current_ship_id:

curl -s -X PATCH "${SUPABASE_URL}/rest/v1/characters?character_id=eq.<character_id>" \
  -H "apikey: ${SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"current_ship_id": null}'

b. Delete pseudo-character record (corporation ships only — the pseudo-character has character_id = ship_id):

curl -s -X DELETE "${SUPABASE_URL}/rest/v1/characters?character_id=eq.<ship_id>" \
  -H "apikey: ${SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY}"

c. Soft-delete ship instance (set destroyed_at):

curl -s -X PATCH "${SUPABASE_URL}/rest/v1/ship_instances?ship_id=eq.<ship_id>" \
  -H "apikey: ${SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"destroyed_at": "<TIMESTAMP>"}'

d. Remove from corporation_ships (corporation ships only):

curl -s -X DELETE "${SUPABASE_URL}/rest/v1/corporation_ships?ship_id=eq.<ship_id>" \
  -H "apikey: ${SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY}"

7. Report the result

Show the user:

• Ship details: ship_id, ship_type, ship_name, sector
• Whether the ship.destroyed event was emitted (and how many recipients)
• Database changes made (soft-delete, pseudo-character deleted, removed from corporation_ships)

Important notes

• Works for both corporation ships and personal ships, but the primary use case is corp ships
• Corporation ships: pseudo-character is deleted, ship removed from corporation_ships
• Personal ships: only steps a and c apply (unlink and soft-delete)
• The event is emitted BEFORE destruction so it references valid DB state
• The combat_id is set to "admin-destroy" to distinguish from real combat
• salvage_created is always false — no salvage is generated
• Ships already destroyed (destroyed_at IS NOT NULL) are rejected in step 2
