Alien Station Assault Help

[Arkadus]

Anyone got any tips? There is a 4k power station around Europa in my game and it has 15 ish layered defense and point defense systems. For some reason my point defense doesnt shoot down the incoming projectiles and ECM is not stopping it either. It literally just cut down 5 of my titans in 6 minutes flat. Any help is welcome.

Also any ideas why my lasers were not able to shoot down any projectiles when they had no problems before in ship battles

I wonder, when people are designing their ships, are they checking to make sure they haven't got one of the non-combat templates selected by accident. Because if you build a ship with something like Transport or Troop Carrier selected, they will avoid combat.

The ships are all assault or strike ships, but I also manually check the weapons before the battle.

PD on large ships are a bit tricky because of arcs of fire. They can't turn well enough to "show their broadside".

Some alien ships have plasma cannons, which are like high-end magnetic cannons but the projectiles can't be shot down. I haven't gotten to the point where I actually have to face them in campaign, but they scare me. I believe that's what the alien station shot you with.

well that sucks lol. They apparently also shoot at way longer distances than most of my weapons...Think I'll try the plasma weapons myself. Was trying to use lasers because I cant rearm/refuel outside of mars since the aliens promptly kill any attempt at a refuel station.

To destroy an alien station you literally need more than 10 Titans with long range and fast reload weapons. Missiles and coil guns or rail guns really can't reach the target with all those hostile PDs shooting projectiles.

Spam railguns and nuclear torpedoes. 1 torpedo hit can blow up a station instantly.
