Destroy xenon station.

[RAFAEL-BR]

I have a save of about 200 hours, I recently bought the Split DLC and I continued with the same save. However, after this update it seems that it is more difficult to destroy the Xenon station. What strategy do you use to destroy these stations?

I were using the Teladi g-ships to attack the stations. However, at some point they get too close to the station and are shot at.

I tried to attack with about 50 Peregrine M ships but they all died.


help me

Pretty much necessary to use several L or XL ships for that, MAYBE spamming M ships with the sniper-type weapons (Meson charge, Mass Driver etc.) that outrange the xenon station might work, provided you set their turrets to Defend. Or, the expensive but effective option, Carrier with dozens of bombers (Plasmas, Blast mortars, Missiles), in which case I'd opt for ships like the Ares or the Shiv, heavy fighters with enough shields and weapon mounts to withstand a hit or five. You can also do it manually with any destroyer/battleship, but expect it to be a lengthy (and risky) endeavor, a slightly modded Rattlesnake or Syn are adequate.

Destroying stations is meant to be a proper siege fight, come prepared.

Stay in sector and use destroyers at range. Save and reload as necessary. You can position destroyers and remove all orders and they should still attack without moving. Use laser towers to get rid of fighters/drones. Deactivate them and tractor beam them in using the o key.

Thanks for the response guys, I'll test it here with the tips and see if it works.

I am so uncertain on what exactly I need to punch my way through to the Yaki ampliphier station, (i did the terran DLC *AGES* ago and never managed to meet up with the first attack on the system.) So the terrans are just forever patroling space slowing in a tokyo not attacking. I have like 3 carriers, probably around 40ish destroyers I'd imagine (if not more) and i think 3 battleships built and I plan on attempting the gauntlet. you'd think it'd be enough lmao

Guys, I took some ships and manually positioned them around the Xenon station. I had some losses but managed to destroy them. I used the capital ships of the Teladi and the Osaka of the Terrans.

Just a very large Xenon dock that I'm still having trouble destroying.

The Xenon large turrets have an attack range of about 6km. So load up the ship of your choice with weaponry that has a longer range than that, personally fly it to the station & selectively destroy every turret without risking yourself. Once you've cleaned up all the turrets, you can then move the rest of your fleet into range & allow the Ai pilots to finish destroying the station.

Note that it's very helpful to have something defending your ship that's capable of taking out the defensive drones that the station might launch at you.

If the last thing left for you to attack is a dock, make sure that you target any ship-construction facilities first, to prevent reinforcements from being built & launched to attack you.

For the Yaki mission I use the free Odysseus. (note make sure you do not have a captain when you dock at the Yaki station as they like to undock and get destroyed a lot :)

Research mods and mod it up for a really nice personal destroyer too.
