How does OOS station module targeting work?

Post by Raptor34 »

Might be the same IS too, but how do faction destroyers choose what to target? Do they prioritize defense modules? Outermost modules? Closest module? Or just whatever?
What about range and LOS? Range should be logical, but can stations and destroyers shoot through other modules? Obviously that wouldn't work IS, but I'm asking for OOS here.

Basically while destroyers seem much better in sieging stations now, I've also seen oddities where a supposed easy win turns into a major loss. As I've mentioned in the other thread, I saw a solo Oddy kill a whole defense station, though now that I think back I'm not fully certain it was fully armed, but it was a starter one iirc so it's likely it was. And I also saw a production station with less than 10 L plasma wipe the floor with 2-4 Oddys. So clearly something is going on there. Whether it's just RNG, or whether there might be more optimal ways to build defense stations against those that can outrange them.
