I turned of 'Able to Destroy Stations' because there is a couple of NPC CIG and shield factories around Loomank's that I kinda need; but I have put them on 'Very Hard' because I want more Carrack's to Cap! I caught myself a Brig the other day, but I sold it because I didn't have the money to equip it; tempted to get another though and use it for home sector defense; I've got plenty of IBL's from those Carrack's now!!

Well done about getting the second Tiger redheart! You're still having trouble with the Teladi Police though? Strange... You didn't attack them at any point did you? Even if one of your turrets does accidentally, they'll start going for you not the ship. In this case its just better to kill what they sent at you, then slowly regain your Teladi rep with missions, it's the only real way!

I will be the one to take you down!

Yea Random that is what I have been doing, or trying to do anyway lol. I didn't set the pirates to attack stations as I don't have the manpower to protect the four different stations I have set up yet. I do want to use them to cap ships though but I wonder if I hit a roaming squad if it will kill my rep so bad I cant make it up or if it will allow me to get better in their graces. I know each ship has a home base and it only affect that home base so maybe it will work.

Pfffff, usually I don't care about my Pirate Rep, they usually have pretty sub-standard ships (Carrack!) and no useful unique rares, so I usually gun for them for easy kills; I do have a couple of Pirate saves though, and I will buddy up with them nice and proper in those saves! I can defend my own stations pretty well, but I don't want to have to defend the NPC's stations, but I do need their CIG's and such, so that's why I turned 'Attack Stations' off.

I will be the one to take you down!

I mean if the npc stations had their own protectors, I would consider turning it on but I can not be the entire space police against them. I like the idea that the Pirate Guild has to build their fleet just like we do though...lol.

Yeah, the pirate guild mod is awesome; I just love destroying the Pirate Guild Mobile HQ (which is always a Galleon), as it can reward you 5-20 mill for killing it!

I can't help but feel we're fighting on opposite sides here boys Wink

I usually target the race Bounty Hunters when I'm playing PG, earns me 300k+ per M6! Big grin

Ok so I went and bought the Heavy Centaur so that I could use the ID's I have when capping ships. My first test with it will be on that mission for the gonar to cap the ship as it has defense lasers that keep killing all my marines (all at 5*).

I have then to find the cobra as that is one ship I refuse to buy since I had a mishap with my fist one. This is sorta like my unicorn now to me. Is the cobra only used by the Split NPC? Should I focus only on the Split Military Outposts or do the other races use other race ships?

Are you talking about the Truelight Seeker? 'Cos you don't need to board it. If you manage to take out it's escorts without hitting it, you can simply claim it like you would any abandoned ships Smile

Also, if you do board it, it'll keep your surviving marines! You DO NOT GET THEM BACK :/

Oh..I didnt know that. Thanks Kirlack....now here is something else.....since when do military bases destroy your docked ships? and yes it did...I had a spy ship sitting there for a while and then it shows in my log: Your ship Teladi - Spy Ship was destroyed in sector Eighteen Billion. This was the ship docked at the base. And I dont know why it would be destroyed as they are not all red to me, just the police.

It's more likely the military base itself was destroyed. Considering it's proximity to the X-347 gate that wouldn't surprise me. But because the game only registers the destruction of the station, it assumes it killed you ship in the process.

The only time a station could destroy a ship is if you're in sector with it and it collides. Which for some M5s, can be more often than you'd believe

Um, I had not thought of that...so I jumped into the sector...was greeted by about 6 Xenon LX's, a Xenon L, 4 Xenon M's, 2 Xenon Q's, and a Xenon J. And...not a trace of the military base. That is the first time I seen a J....omg........yea I killed the two Q's and a few L's then jumped out.

Uh..where is the military when you need them....lol.

You know, now I think about it, I don't recall ever seeing a Teladi military fleet in Eighteen Billion? And that's in 5 years of playing TC o_O Not one single capital ship!

I saw a half-full Condor patrolling around 18 bill the other day, but otherwise nothing here either (not even an Osprey!)

I will be the one to take you down!

Well I know that it was there one minute..then the military must have abandoned it and left my ship alone with out a notice lol.

So..uh...Zyarth's Dominion...is....empty of all stations now....and I didnt do it...

Ever had that happen before?

That is normal in TC. The shipyard will respawn eventually. Its because it is right next door to the Xenon core sectors and they like to migrate to 472 and the north Xenon sectors from there.
