Hey,

As for Trade Lanes I think you could destroy them although I don't know what effect this would have....I'll have to try this at home. I think just about anything could be setup so it could be destroyed but I'm not sure how at the moment, for say Tradelanes....however...

For Tradelanes, all trade lanes inherit their properties from the archetype Trade_Lane_Ring which looks like the following (see below). Notice it equips the following shield generator: TLR_shield_gen01 which is also below. Notice the shield generator has a total of 500000000 hitpoints. You could set the points to something significantly lower (but not too low) to possibly permanently disable the trade lane with a concentrated attack of firepower.

I'll see if this can be done tonight and I'll follow up here.

Well,

It doesn't seem likely that you can permanently disable the shields/destroy the Trade Lanes at first glance. You can at least modify how long the tradelane will be down by adjusting the offline_rebuild_time to your liking.
