Is it even possible to destroy Xenon stations?

Post by Redwyrm »

I got my first destroyer, put two big cannon at it, and tested it a bit in Xenon space. It do well agains the ships, but station.
Every time station reaches 98%, half minute later it just popped back to 99%. Had it non-stop firing from destroyer, as well as corvette assisting me.

Some stations like solar farms are at least temporarily destroyable. I am not sure the defense stations are.

in 1.32 it works fine, its just that the AI itself does not aim at the parts that have to be destroyed (thats why it often looks like the HP is stuck).
If you manualy aim at the parts , it will destroy the station.

Only bad part beeing that there are sometimes invisible parts (like i had on a xenon warft) , the fact that the non-xenon-factions are supllying their new statiosn they want to build (you cant starve them out because of that) and the fact that they claim new sector plots in sectors that dont belong them anymore (i think they are scripted to do this in certain sectors to always maintain X amount of stations of a kind)

Yeah, you need several ships for that: viewtopic.php?f=146&t=406817&start=30#p4785318 (staying out of sector may work better than being in it)
And then you might need to hunt for some invisible stuff: viewtopic.php?f=146&t=406817&start=45#p4795092

but it is possible

Some stations are bugged as well. I was attacking one with an argon task group and it blew before even getting to half health. I was hitting its drone bays so I thought I pulled off a deathstar maneuver but I doubt it.
