Yes you can, but supposedly the settlements can fight back with anti ship turrets.

I did a bit of that before I got the hang of the on foot combat. It worked ok, but wasn't much fun. If the settlement is powered down there's not much risk, but you can get a fine for firing weapons in a no-weapons zone (in some cases).
If the settlement is powered up it will shoot at you, and the one time this happened to me I barely got away with any shields left on my Viper MKIV (and it has pretty good shields). Those ground turrets are not to be trifled with.
And when you take the Apex shuttle you have no ship lights to help

Its time for Fdev to sell us flare guns.
No wait. Scratch that. Fdev would somehow cause the FPS to drop to like 0.5 with a couple of flares.
Run from the settlement I've just powered up
The enemy has landed
The NPC yells "Stop!"
Should I? Not bloody likely! Have an outrageous haul of pilfered phat lewtz and I'm buggered if ur gettn my stuffz!
All I need now is one - a measly one! - power regulator.
EDIT Actually, if I purposely fail a power-up mission, I think I keep the regulator. Or is that not a thing now?

I had a fun Scavenger Hunt type mission today. The Scavs were all on alert and tried to swarm me. Took me 12 minutes to spread them out by circling around. Then in the last 4 minutes all the real action happens, lol.
I'm a terrible FPS player, but as long as I don't let them gang up on me I can beat them. But I thought perhaps you'd like to see it Tyres, and I did record it. Feel free to ignore it, too, it's just me killing stuffs.

Brill! That's a really helpful vid - I'd sort of tried a few of those techniques but didn't have your finesse! Thank you!
Incidentally, on a whim, I took, then abandoned a power-up mission. Took the rep hit - so wouldn't do it infinite times - but kept the regulator. G4 Mav suit - done.
I did this a few times myself, before I got any good at stealing them. A rep hit and 100k fine -- cheap! lol.
Ladies and Gents, its has been a while. Hope all of you are up and as well as can be given the circumstances. As fro the game EDH, after well over a year now, I started again and ran into a minor problem. Low wakes. I can not for the hell of it, follow the contact on a assassination mission.
Situation (repetitive) : I am in Supercruise and approach the NAV beacon... Zappp there is the contact... follow me... Zapppp he is goin and leaves the low wake...
I target the low wake and try to approach it by positioning the LW with the openeing towards me, then approach very slowly, but as soon as the the bar above my speed (which is in the blue) approches the blue zone, the LW is gone.
I tried a search on videos and so on, found next to nothing. Any suggestions much appreciated.

Seems you may be too slow, the wake expired. It happened a few times to me. Once you see the wake, then approach it asap (and watch the distance and arrival time). As you close in, you should keep that "< 6ls" rule and when the distance get below 1000km, you should be prompted to disable supercruise (like you do when supercruise to stations).
Correct me if i'm wrong, haven't do these kind of mission much.
Yes, low wakes expire. Happened to me too. But you can approach them like any other SS. Target the wake, no need to align with the axis, just stay above 6 seconds, drop when prompted.
There should be a timer listed below the distance in the target reticle. like below. You don't want it get < 6 sec as you get close to target, or you will overshoot.
I like to split hairs, so I'd say 7 seconds
As a serious reply though, have you tried using supercriuse-assist? I've never tried it myself so it may not work...
It sounds like you didnt slow down when you are 7 seconds out. And/ord also didnt drop out of supercruise when you are under 1k km?
This could also be true. Once at seven seconds, it's best to drop to 75% of max speed. This ensures you don't overshoot. Assigning a bind is a good way od reaching this speed.
What I just did.
Stood on a fire in a burning settlement thinking nothing would happen as I had my shield up.
My shield was down.
The end.

Hmm, i'm reviewing my fleets at the moment.
For MRPs....do you stacks them till protection is 100%, while compromising some raw hull hp??
