Rudy Kohn Posted October 1, 2000 Report Share Posted October 1, 2000 How do you capture Starstations? (The ones in orbit) Is this in the documentation, or did I just miss it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aramike01 Posted October 1, 2000 Report Share Posted October 1, 2000 Beat 'em as bad as you can without destroying it. Attempt to dock as normal, and the option to capture will be displayed.------------------ Vice Admiral Michael Kristophers ICV-Intrepid Spectre (Antis) Fleet Leader Spectre Fleet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wold Posted October 1, 2000 Report Share Posted October 1, 2000 It's in the tips and hints section. Read through that section with no date restrictions and you'll learn a lot! You need to knock the shields and then the armor, and then station damage will start building. If any of the 3 integrity levels reach 0 then the station will self-destruct. When the station integrity is down to around 10 (each area) then the sos tag will light up. Dock with the station and it will become captured.When damage gets low, turn off the PTA and set the IOD to the lowest setting.Hope that helps.------------------ Commodore Wold ICV-Drakr, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commanding Officer, Spectre HQ Spectre FleetICQ 4669033 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallion Posted October 2, 2000 Report Share Posted October 2, 2000 Bang away at the Spacestation ye wishes to acquire. Once armor is down to around 300ish change thesetting of ye IOD to 10% and turn ye PTAs off. Fire ye IOD one shot at a time until armor drops real low and the INT is at 25 or below. THe Station should turn grey and start emitting its SOS Beacon. Dock as ye would any friendly spacestation and press Y when the siren begins and Capture station Y/N? starts a flashing on ye bridgeviewer.When ye launch from the station it will be yours.TTFN[This message has been edited by Gallion (edited 10-01-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdr Keeling Posted October 8, 2000 Report Share Posted October 8, 2000 What they said as far as acually capping a station. What i need to know it what to do after. I am playing a game as a raider and earler today i captured ss velary(something like that) orbiting around polar2. neway my question is, is there anything i can do to give it more ships and or missles to replace the ones i killed so that it can protect itself from attacks without me baby sitting it.

Rattler Posted October 8, 2000 Report Share Posted October 8, 2000 Eventually I beleive it will rebuild itself. You have to protect it until it can defend itself. ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crafts you may have destroyed during attacking of the station will be rebuild as time passes. Damaged ships that RTB-ed and docked or got towed back in will be repaired and available eventually. The station will have a full complement of ships and missiles again after a certain time.If you have FC&C you can order crafts of nearby stations to protect your weak station. Hope that helps.------------------ Cmdr.

Guest aramike01 Posted October 8, 2000 Report Share Posted October 8, 2000 If you do use the FC&C tactic that Steve mentioned, do use a probe to enter the region of the other stations, or your newly captured station will FALL FALL FALL while you are away. ------------------ Vice Admiral Michael Kristophers ICV-Intrepid Spectre (Antis) Fleet Leader Spectre Fleet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the fighters and all of the cap ships will then still be intact AND be available for station defense.------------------ Commander Tyrn Marcel GCV Falcon, Wraith HQ (Lyrius) S.O.G.

Supreme Cmdr Posted October 9, 2000 Report Share Posted October 9, 2000 LOL!! (re: the blood in water gag)as for feeling stupid, nah, don't worry about it - we don't care about stuff like that. Unless someone was one of the developers, everyone was pretty stupid at some point or another. Be patient though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
