17 raptors and 43 rattlesnakes vs Teladi Trading station

Post by Kbroen » Sun, 28. Nov 21, 05:47

So I'd have thought that my 17 raptors and 43 rattlesnakes would have made short work of the Teladi trading station, but 8 hours later, they're still circling and pummelling it.

The funny thing is, when I checked on it a few hours ago, it was 41% hull on the station, I'd lost most of my fleet as I'm down to 7 raptors and 2 rattlesnakes, and now the Teladi station hull is back up to 68%.

Everyone is attacking, but I'm finding that they're aiming mostly at the center module of the station that no longer exists.

Anyone know a workaround so I can kill this station?

Had a similar issue awhile back in Hewa's Twin 1. Let the Xenon K's and I's hammer the station for days. The most recent update fixed the problem for me.

Check the station for modules that have (-%) in the listing. They are modules that can't be targeted as they have no collision mesh and thus, can't be inactivated since they can't be shot.

I assumed this was fixed as it resolved for me. Maybe not.

Here's a screenshot from when it happened to me for reference.

Did you use coordinate attack?

I find one of the best reasons to use it is because it causes your ships to encircle the target, hitting it from all angles. As opposed to just issuing the attack command from afar, and they all rush at it from generally the same angle. I'll also usually put my ships 30km above/below the target too, so they're coming down on top of it while also spread out around it, giving them a top and side view, to hit multiple structures from one spot.... where if they attack the object directly, they can't see past the structure they already blew up that is now blocking everything behind it.

If I had that many ships, I'd probably split them into 2 groups at least, one above, one below... pause, set both groups to coordinate attack, unpause and see how they do. Coordinate attack won't solve every problem, or bugs... but I find it's much more useful than just the attack command.

Is this OOS or IS?

If this is oos you should try the new beta 4.20 and see if it works with this version

I've been letting it run for a few days so I might give the update a shot.

I also typically use coordinate attack on stations as it has given me less casualties. Plus I've been at it for awhile now (48 hours).

I'll test the update and see.

Thanks for the input.

I'd be interested to read some feedback about that.
I've just posted something similar for the 5.0 beta 6HF1 except it is just 2 K attacking the station.

They have been at it for days... do I need to be more specific?
