TheDarknessIncarnate Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Same. the Capture of space stations are VERY VERY hard to do, almost impossible. Im currently trying to do it with a fighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shingen Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 You can't capture or permanently destroy planetary bases, structures or naval units. They will all rebuild eventually. You CAN capture star-stations, but you can't permanently destroy them. They will rebuild eventually. If you capture the stations before it is destroyed, it will retain your race/caste alliance. However, NPCs can retake or destroy the same station you just captured. Capturing star stations is easy in a cloaked carrier, hard in a uncloaked cruiser, and complicated in a lone fighter (IF you can get close enough). It all has to do with tactics, strategy and planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TARWMSRK Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 You can perma destroy a base by dropping a r.a.n.d.o.m. weapon on a planet . Though it kinda ruins the day for everyone else on that planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfheart Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Slow down and take it easy (main gun power :%10-30 when the station is near death should do the trick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarknessIncarnate Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 ahaha. Ive finally captured a starstation. 2 or 3. Here's how ya do it. And, turn off your PTA 1. Get To The NME (enemy) starstation 2. Pound away with 100% Till 100% of Shields and 90% of Armor Is Down 2a. Use The Enter Key to Regulate Bursts. Much More Controlled 3. Once the Station's armor is in the 3 digit zone (AKA: 999 - 400), Switch IOD to 10% Power 4. Tap The Enter Key. Each shot should lower is 100 - 150 armor each hit. Do so until it says SOS or is near 0. 5. STOP IF IT REACHES NEAR 0 6. If It reaches SOS, Dock and u just capped it. If you have Fleet C&C, Assign some ships for defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
