Guest Dick Trickle Posted March 15, 2000 Report Posted March 15, 2000 What do you get by successfully defeating a star station? Can you take it over and use it for the forces of good, or do you just get pods and stuff???
Parias Posted March 15, 2000 Report Posted March 15, 2000 If you destroy a starstation, then that's pretty much it. You get some experience, maybe the occasional pod (correct me if I'm wrong here) and that's about it. If you attempt to dock with it when it goes into SOS mode, however, you will capture the station and turn it over to your side, which can be rather handy as you no doubt figured out You need to do this when it's in SOS mode though, meaning right before it's destroyed.. tricky, but very possible!------------------ Cmdr.

Paul Keith Collins Posted March 18, 2000 Report Posted March 18, 2000 Hi Dick Trickle. Not only do you get experience points for detroying a space station but like with any ship you also get credits for the destruction of a space station but as Parias as already stated it is far better if you can capture the station then the stations resources are avilable to yourself which comes in handy if the nearest friendly station is quite a few jumps away. ------------------ CMDR Lord Darth Vader FLEET: GALCOM PRIME GCV Imperium ICQ# 45333631[This message has been edited by Paul Keith Collins (edited 03-17-2000).][This message has been edited by Paul Keith Collins (edited 03-18-2000).]

Guest Dick Trickle Posted March 19, 2000 Report Posted March 19, 2000 Man... J, you got ****ed up.So is it best to keep making sneak attacks, or is it best to just go for the jugular???
Steve Schacher Posted March 19, 2000 Report Posted March 19, 2000 Were you within the 30 clicks docking range?
Guest aramike01 Posted March 19, 2000 Report Posted March 19, 2000 Look in the tips section for great advice on attacking stations, Dick. A sneaky method with remarkably crafted PTA fire is my method.------------------ Cmdr.

Guest Den Dee Posted March 21, 2000 Report Posted March 21, 2000 Ok, lemme play dumb and tell u how it's done.1. make sure some opposition is dead, and the others are crawling to base /u should see those poor fellas close to the station, flying at a walking pace towards it.2. fly to the station, and, dodging/surviving it's missiles, take down its shield, and most of the hull.3. when the hull is under 2000, turn off PTA, move the IOD to 10%, and carefully reduce INTEGRITY to some 20-30....4. if it doesnt emit SOS by then, give it a couple more hits.5. when SOS is being emitted, get within 20 clicks, make sure it's selected as your radar target, and hit alt-d.6. it should ask u if u want to dock /or capture? dont remember./7. hit y /for Yes/, and you should be docked there. after u launch, it will still be nearly dead, but green, and recovering.8. that's it. if the thing doesnt work, post the message, pointing out the step in which u failed.Hope this helps :-)Den
Gallion Posted March 22, 2000 Report Posted March 22, 2000 Proceedures Den Dee outlined work rather well
