Destroying/capturing station Pixan

[Epsilon 5]

For those of you who are quite new, here is a quite useful trick for destroying the Multinational/Raider station Pixan at Lennen/Sirius.

I don't like using missiles (I actually sell them all at the start of a game), but I've found the weak point in their defense grid.

1. Destroy all resistance.

Station Pixan have only fighters for defense, so your battlecruiser should do the job quite easily

2. DON'T go near the station without the best shield available, the Linear/IV, or you will get blasted by their big missiles. Then, get UNDER or OVER (I've went on the sunny side).

3. Get to your turrets and maingun maximum range, which should be 20 units.

4. Start shooting.

As the base move onto it's orbit, you will have to move many time before you can capture it (if you managed not to destroy it).

I estimate that the base minimal attack angle is about 20-30 degrees.

That way, you could make an easy kill, lot's of exp's or capture a base.

Remember: if you want ot capture the station, don't forget to turn off your PTA system off when it's near death.

It takes about 10 or 15 minutes to complete if you do it the right way. It works for all stations with the same design.

Good luck.

I forgot. To capture the station, it need to be sos. It become sos when the reactor status (the left number in video target) is almost 0. If it reaches 0, the station blows.

If you don't know it, all ships and stations cannot shoot on their Z-axis (in bc3k anyway) The trick works on any station type.

So fun capturing Spectre.
