I started playing EVE a week ago or so, and I'm currently doing lvl 1 security missions (level 2 was WAAAAAY too tough).
Now - These lvl 1 missions tend to repeat themselves (a lot), so I have to kill my fair share of radio telescopes. These things have godly amount of shield, armor and structure. So I am wondering what I am doing wrong. I can't imagine EVE being designed to sit afk for half an hour, only tabbing back to reload, while shooting at these telescopes, so I must be missing something.
I am currently using the Gallante destroyer, I have 4x 150mm Railgun I, with Antimatter ammo (these seem to do the most damage). I sit at the "Optimal Range" stated in info when the ammo i loaded. It still takes 30+ minutes to kill these things. Not only that, but it's costing me more in antimatter ammo than I get as a reward.
So - What am I missing? How should I go about destroying these thing?
Thanks :)

yeah i'm almost absolutely sure there is no mission with the objective of destroying a radio telescope. Read the mission objectives carefully, you never have to do more than is said there.

It's usually not necessary to destroy the buildings in deadspace unless stated otherwise - since that would be the goal of the mission.

Guys, seriously - I have to kill them.
I have the mission details thing open all the time, and it only "completes" when I kill those things. They have bounty 0.00 isk on them too.

What's the mission name and can you copy/paste the details?

Oh, and my only objective is
Kill Objective
Location: Oursulaert
Nothing more.
The description in itself says to destroy the listening post blabla because they can't do it officially.
PS: Since my last post, I now destroyed the telescope and as I thought, the mission details re-opened/updated itself and it's now complete.

Desperate Measures
Mission briefing
Recent reports from the Federal Intelligence
Office give us reason to believe that the UDI
terrorist organization has begun setting up
outposts in the names of front corporations at
deadspace forward points within our sovereign
space, with the intention of spying on Gallente
corporations. I've just gotten word that there's
one such suspected outpost in this system. The
problem is that we cannot be fully sure whether
the outpost in question is indeed a UDI hive. Obviously this means we can't go in flying our own banner,
so non-contracted free agents such as yourself will be of paramount importance in the staging of
preliminary operations. True, it is a harsh risk to take, attacking installations that haven't been
absolutely proven to be hostile, but the UDI simply present too much of a threat for us to have the
luxury of dilly-dallying.
Should you choose to accept this mission, I will upload this outpost's coordinates to your Neocom. Your
primary target will be a subspace data miner thought to have been picking up on our communications
frequencies. Once it is destroyed, report back to us and we will send in another team for the next stage
of the operation.
You will probably encounter some mercenary resistance in the area. Orders are to kill on sight, and
refrain from any and all communication that may uncover your involvement with us. Should you be
captured, we will disavow any knowledge of your actions.

doesnt the gallante destroyer have 7 turret slots?, fitting 7 125 rails will kill it a hell of a lot quicker than 4 150 rails

So I guess there isn't something I'm missing then, and I'm stuck with blasting at them for half an hour :(

Hmm...
Are there any good sites with good setups for the various ships? Like a collection of setups.

This mission sucks. It seriously does. I recommend getting help or finding a new agent.

I had the same mission, while i had an enyo to make it go a bit quicker it still took a fair bit of time to knock out, i considered beefing up the firepower, but that woulda taken even longer really. I guess the only thing you can do is just keep shooting.

Dude. Looks to me like you're done with the mission. Don't bother trying to kill the telescope.

I am currently on this quest.
HOW did you know where to go, what to shoot at? I click to approach the "coords" he supposedly give and sit in deadspace wondering where to go and what I'm missing?

You clearly haven't come across the L3 mission called "The Space Telescope" yet... ;)

most lvl 1 missions hubs are in quite popular systems, give a shout over local and you'd be surprised as to how many people would be willing to give 5 mins help to a new player to shoot a tough structure, or a tough rat for that matter (I know I would so theres bound to be others)
