why do we need to target the CT? that is inside the shields. if we can target that and shoot at it what stops us from targeting the guns.
make it so u shoot the dam shields. i wanna be able to use blasters/AC/rockets/drones on a pos just like u can on a station.
thanks

Edited by: Alaris on 01/02/2006 18:15:50 You ARE shooting the shields. The shield comes from the tower, which is why your targetting that. Targetting the guns wouldn't really do much in that case, since you'd still have to get thru the shields first, which means the CT. If someone placed their guns on the outside of the shield, then sure, you could shoot those directly and take our their shields in no time and kill them, but since most people put them inside the CT's shields...

this isnt about shooting the guns inside
i want to be able to shoot the shilds, since drones/blasters/ac cant reach the range it requires.
should be like stations tbh

Ah I gotcha. Forgot you have to actually hit the CT, not the shield boundary. Yeah, it should be at the shield, but I'm sure there's some reason its not.

It's really rather annoying if you're wanting to test the POS with newbie ships. They don't have enough locking range :/ -- We are recruiting

Use the new sentry drones. Those have enough range.

wouldn't the sentry guns insta-pop them since they are standing still?

Edited by: Hector Ruiz on 03/02/2006 07:14:28 Changing this to what you propose might actually make a POS harder to destroy. Currently if you want to help recharge your pos¦s shields when it comes out of reinforced mode you have to field specific ships that boost the range of Shield Transport modules (like Ospreys) to be able to target the control tower with them.
If the shield itself would be targetable any ship could fit a couple of Shield Transporters and help get the shield up to 50%, thereby reducing the window of opportunity you would have to destroy the pos.

Dunno if this is feasable but would it help / work if you target the forcefield itself and use short ranged stuff on it? Like in that drone mission, missing convoy or something. But the only close range setup that would make sense are lasers, since you need to sustain fire for quiet some time.
Originally by: Mr Popov wouldn't the sentry guns insta-pop them since they are standing still?
Depends on what you're testing, you can always change the security settings so the POS won't shoot back...
