kschang Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 ODS: is it actually hard to hit? I had no problem whacking the one guarding the Insurgent base at Lynnen/Sirius. My main problem is the autopilot can't keep me a constant distance to it, so I had to go back and forth with retro/AB. However, my main gun shots seem to pass THROUGH the ODS. Only the PTA seem to be doing any significant damage. But I did disable the ODS. Star Stations: The current advice is do NOT attack the station itself unless you can cloak, it seems. Decloak in the station's blind spot, and fire away. If I do NOT have cloak, is there still a way? Or should I just sit outside its range and kill supply freighters instead? (i.e. blockade the station?) [ 06-30-2003, 02:12 AM: Message edited by: Kasey Chang ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalshion Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 OSD's don't even fire on you.. I've gone up close and personal to them and they never fire on me =) as for the station.. no idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why it's very hard to hit. quote:Star Stations: The current advice is do NOT attack the station itself unless you can cloak, it seems. Decloak in the station's blind spot, and fire away.

I never did blocade to a station, so I don't know if it works. If you can't cloak, then the only possible thing is to find a blind spot in the station's defense system, where it can't fire at you. Looking for such place is usually painful , but you can watch other ships attacking the station. When finally someone survives emerging from hj, then the direction from where he started his jump might be safe to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalshion Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 I know that SC =) but what im saying is that when I had Str Rank one time I sent a whole fleet up against a ODS and it never fired on missle.. so either it wasn't able to get a lock.. or we where confusing the hell out of it (then again when ever I attack a ODS I always stay cloaked using the TMCD which might be why it can't lock onto me =P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
