How to stop a wharf without destroy the wharf

[shietinghd]

My idea is to build 100 m, 100s class ships and 10 L class and let them fill the station dock.

Hack the production

Doesn’t that stop the ship being built for a few hours without dock cheese

I never hacked a station

You can hack the storage and release all their supplies.

But the easier way is just to build a trade station then corner the market on hull parts and adv. electronics.

Well then now your chance

simply hack the station..if you have the credits to buy this much of ships .. why bother with a shipyard...

It easier to just hack the production itself and stop the station from building ship for a few hours

Let me say the Hop ... go on a conquer spree with a bit to much help. Now i need to slow them down or the Ant and Arg will not have many Sectors.

Funny, I'm always trying to do the opposite - to ENCOURAGE ship production at all my allies' wharfs and shipyards (seems to be the key to keeping the galaxy "alive"). But if an enemy, then a good 'ol fashioned blockade works great.

If you want to stop the HOP, I recommend starting this very early in the game if you ever think of starting a new save.

I assume you do not want to fight the HOP in this case.

Hacking as many have said. Teleportation to a ship far away from the station is a good way to get away.

Laying bombs and destroying key production lines is a good strategy also. But start now to think of a long term solution. Perhaps share your current map situation and you may get more ideas to help out.

A long term solution could be, while hacking away and laying bombs, start building a trade station to only buy wares from HOP. Build another trade station to only buy wares from TEL, GOD, ZYA, HAT, FRF, depending on who you are neutral with. Build a fleet of mining ships to keep ARG, ANT moving along and also earn credits to funnel wares to their market. If Neutral to TER and POI, do the same as they drink ores and silicon!

The mining fleet brings in credit, you buy wares at maximum price and sell low to ANT ARG. You may have to use manual setting for price and storage. Buy up to maximum at the maximum price, sell down to 1 unit at lowest price, ensuring you create 2 blacklists for the buy and sell orders. One for buy from all other factions, including yours, except ANT and ARG. Then the other for Sell to you, ANT and ARG.
