Complex in Unknown sector... Swamped by 3 destroyers.zzzzz

What to do when you

1. undock and see 3 Kha'ak Destroyers at the edge of ur scanner range.
2.your only combat asset is 1 Cerberus, 1 Aquilo, 1 Vidar.
3. All capitals uses MARS..
4. And you've reloaded 3 times trying to beat them... but end up always loses a ship.
5. and oh.. my multi million complex is there too...

What's the point of installing AI enhancing scripts if you're going to turn them off when things get rough?

Well, you can also say your complex goodbuy then, if you are role-playing DID :) Or, quickly rise some cash and buy yourself something with PPC mounts. A single destroyer should eat those Kha'aks for breakfast even on auto-pilot, MARS or no MARS.
O! Steal a ship and hope the police gets them :)

Throw a station at them! ;P

I had that happen with some Xenon heavies and wound up accepting my fate and moving as much out of the sector as i could.

Built a complex that big without a TL of your own ?

Yes , use the "drop Station" command to destroy those kha'ak.
Just buy a cheap station and drop it on a Kha'ak :twisted:

That's what she said.

(so many, many lines can fit this).

More seriously, lure the destroyers away while you prep a fighting force against them. Make sure to include Fighter Drones Mk II, and use them to keep the turrets busy while you spam missiles from the Aquilo.

It was suggested a year or so a go.

I did it once.

Yes it works.

Some sectors suffer from collision detection and may not work there.
