Horizons How do you destroy a ship with 4000+ Shields?

I'm just curious. Say a player grinded his way up high with fully engineered everything and is griefing the crap out of a lot of people.

If you try to hit him in an equal ship... with shield boosters and primatic engineered shields... yeah you aren't going to do much.

So hes pretty much taken control of whatever future CG you do by blockading the port... and you have no way to kill him? This is a hypothetical, but I've seen it happen. Even a wing of ships would be pretty darn tasked to take him out.

With heat damage being capped and that significant quantity of shields with these high heat builds... how do you defeat them?

I see a bunch of 'heat' meta going on... but if you have 3 heat sinks instead of 3 engineered shield boosters... thats not that big of a deal. Honestly... I see it as a bunch of people with fully engineered tankable ships crying about its only weakness... and it got significantly nerf'd...

So is there any point or method to try to take out a ship with 4K+ shields with nearly instant full regen shield cell banks?

Only solution I can see to this is a weapon or upgrade that does increasing damage like heat based off of the strength of shields.

Single ships will succumb to a concerted wing attack of well-armed opponents, shield cells and heat sinks are limited in reloads. Large ship that can carry heavy defensive/offensive equipment haven't shown to be immune to coordinated attacks against more agile opponents.

Try it yourself with a Cutter, Conda, or Vette at an Open CG.

There is no god-ship. If it does appear, it will probably be nerfed.

A few reverberating cascade torpedoes should be a good incentive for him to explore a neighbouring system

this.

or a similar ship or two with a full loadout of rapid fire pulses with phasing sequence.

or ramming.

dock at station he blockading (in solo) proceed with rail gun sidey (in open) until his shields brake.


usually my rail sidey only has enough power for A engines and the guns everything else is stripped.

very effective if you can gather 3-7 friends

As above - go to the station in solo, move to open, and hang out by the station. Upset him to the point he strays into the NFZ and shoots. Watch the station obliterate him.

Flying in groups are best - he can't shoot 3 or 4 at once.

I wish FD would introduce a player bounty board, so it makes bounty hunting these trolls easier
(they should only be listed for attacking other Commanders).

No need for that, as hes at every cg

Feedback Cascade rail gun. Will stop the ship cell banking and preventing it from recovering about 90% of the SCB.

Now, how do you stop two ships both with healing beam. That's a different question
