Can it be destroyed?

Uhm don't think so.

If you go hostile against it you get automaticlly blown up by its defence grid, it's an automatic death.

Exactly what kind of firepower does the grid have? Would 30 boreas' get the job done?

I'd guess that the Torus is tagged as indestructible...

30 Boreas would make 30 big explosions

It's not firepower, it's scripted in.

If i remember it correctly, each lasertower that protects the Torus has 3GJ of shielding and is piloted

can GOD create a ship so indestructible that it won't be able to destroy it?

Enhanced Dolphin is indestructible, even if the player is flying it.

Hate the torus. Sent my Advanced discoverer over there in OOS and it was blown up.

Now im sending all ships there at once that need to go there (jumpdrives) and keep an close eye on the bunch. Those turrets are really really nasty bunch.

I think it's not towers that destroy the ships going out-limits. It's a script, I haven't seen any of those towers shoot so far, and dont' know what range they have but if you head to the east full speed you still die the same way and probably aren't even in range (or are you?).

Anyways I think it's scripted, like an "Auto-destruct" thing, and the tower doens't really do anything but be there.

Right. Earth is basically one big cheat sector, boasting fake grandeur and kicking butt hard. Devs, i'm not impressed.

Basicaly Earth got the same problem as Aldrin: it is not finished. Or atleast i hope there is someone out there who thinks 'earth sucks because i was rushed and didnt have time to make it as awesome as i liked'.

Time will tell.

they defiantly do shoot, but they have a range of over 100km.

each one with enough fire power to destroy most ships in a few hits.

Hmm just pick up Mahi-Ma's little dolphin and nip over there for a visit.
Pull tungues at the gunnery crews manning the turrets as you fly by.

Theres sod all they can do to you no matter how big there guns are

Load it up with missiles thou before you go.
You won't do much damage but you will piss them off a bit
