Destroyers and Stations

[Slashman]

So I know this has been a huge bone of contention for many people here, but has it gotten better in your opinions since the 5.00 Beta?

This was one of the listed improvements in the Beta patch notes.

So no one has anything to say on this?

[Alan Phipps]

Well the devs think that it's better. Since it is still in this early beta implementation and quite likely being discussed in the Public Beta forum, maybe it is worth watching the threads there instead (though not asking again there as that would be outside that forum's remit).

Well I've seen a lot of stations get destroyed by Xenon but I don't have any solid comparison to make to the previous state.

In my experience it has improved. I've attacked some Xenon stations and my destroyers (1-2 star pilots) no longer charge in and stay at range.
After the first few modules are destroyed they will still try to reposition by going directly under the station and get destroyed. Hopefully this will also be improved as well.

Captain Collins covered it in his video about beta:

In short - it works for first module they target, but once is destroyed and destroyer AI pick another one, they still might do something stupid and get into deadly killzone.

Ah I see. Thanks!

I will have a look at the video.
