To Kill a Laser Tower ??

PirateFrieghter · Post by **PirateFrieghter** » Fri, 17. Dec 10, 01:12

What does it take to destroy a laser tower or two around a Pirate Base?

My M7 Hydra cant live long enough to get close and the Tower shoots down missles and torpedos.

Its just a suicide run that can't be beat?

Thanks

Sounds like a gameplay question. Moved from X3R S&M.

(If it is about a mod, it should have been posted into the thread of the mod, as per S&M Forum Rules.)

Hop into a faster ship -- M4, M3 or even a quick M6 -- and just attack from the back or sides.

They turn slowly enough that it's easy to stay out of their line of fire, and they really dont have all that much shield power to cut through. (At the very least, their shields recharge extremely slowly.)

Laser towers are more effective against large ships. A fighter or two would actually have an easier time taking a laser tower down.

200MJ shield - a hornet will take it down leaving you with the 25k hull to finish

Excellent, Thanks

posted in MODs because it was a Mod that got me the large range of ships/weapons to explore with.

They are really slow to turn, so if you fly behind it while it's shooting at you it should be fairly easy to take out.

Firestorm.
Hornet.
Typhoon.
Or a Frigate or M6.
Lasertowers are not really much more than an irritation.
