Newcomer / Intro Attacking a space station...

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

During an exploration stint when it was Kls's between each body, a suicidal type question popped into the old noggin:

Are all space stations indestructible or are there some set up so CMDR's can destroy them?

I've not read ever about any CMdr or wing of them destroying a station and since this would be the all-time bragging event we'd all know about it for sure.
Station weps are hard hitting. Go attack a high security planetary base instead and see how fast those turrets take down 4100MJs of shields!
Now figure the station is even tougher.

If they where destroyable, the bubble would be pretty empty by now...

Oh I agree. I was just wondering if there were some somewhere where maybe a team if players could get together and take one on. For the sake of storyline or rp. Or something.

Keeping in mind the date I am tempted to say yes but only through the exhaust port.

But truthfully so far only Thargoids have damaged stations and only FDev can destroy one.

 

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

Forgot the date today! But yeah, I used to bulls-eye wamp rats in my T7 back home (on LHS 3447).

 

[Arry]

Thargoids and U.As do the trick.

It can only happen if every CMDR currently playing is in the same instance.
So, no.

With how many times newbs (like myself) have accidentally rammed into the stations at full boost, and the station personnel didn't even notice, I think that firing small projectiles smaller than the seat you sit in will do nothing at all. lol.

I do think it would be cool if there was one that the Thargoids took over, and players had to attack it on a regular basis for a set amount of time to try to get them out of it before they got whatever they wanted. To me, something like that would be fun. And since they are invading the stations, the onboard weapons will not hit as hard.

Razar.

Heh. This. The likes of Sol and Shinrarta would be desolate wastelands within minutes. The rest of the bubble would quickly follow. CG's for example would be dead in the water also.

Everything that is destructible (like ships, cargo, mats) has hit points. Everything that is indestructible (like planets, asteroids, buildings and data points) doesn't have hit points.

Stations can't be destroyed because they don't have hit points. Fire at them as much as you wish, you can't damage one.

Just like your ship is indestructible when it's touched down on the pad. That's because, as far as the game is concerned, it's become part of the space station.

FDev employee works into the office...
"God damn it! The Thargoids have been at it again; 7,000 stations at 0.1%. Every goddamn morning! If I ever get hold of that prat in AI, they're gonna get a bloody ear-full!
