X3 Reunion.. Paranid war

[Bogota]

HI Folks
new to the forum, old too the game

I am still playing reunion. I havent completed the story yet, currently own the sector that was up for aution. I cant complete a mission because I cannot get past some lasers inside a station in Ocracoke's storm or Senator's badlands. Sadly after I help that bird that fancies me I cause a ship to crash into the station and it starts leaking air, I go in the hole I caused in a spacesuit, 2 lasers in the corridor cut me to bits everytime.

I dont have a repair laser on the suit, I have 2 as cargo but cannot fit them to a suit. I guess thats what I need to shoot the lasers. OR is there somthing else i need??

Anyway I have a HQ and have been buiding my empire off the story line for a long time now. I have many many stations accross the map now. Split fire accross to aladna hill is now patrolled by my task force and is clear of pirates I sell crystals in each sector along that line of sectors and traffic is high.

I own ( 3 lots of whats listed)
1 titan 1 colosus (57 eclipse ea)
3 hyperion 2 centars
4 dragons

SO since the missle from the astriod that caused the parinid empire to close off all its space to outsiders and I lost all ranking with them....
If they are not needed in the story Can I please go to war with them and exterminate every last one of them??

You cannot exterminate races, they'll endlessly respawn.

And Paranid objects that are story-relevant are indestructible.

I will always vote for any war against the Paranid.
I'm playing TC and am planning one against them myself.

The big question, when going to war with anyone---Will it be strictly a 'military thing' or an all-out genocide?

Due to the actions of a parnid pilot causing a whole complex to become separate stations again... it may well be the latter

Why is everyone so down on the Paranid? I was thinking of getting one as a pet. I think they make good conversation pieces at dinner parties, what with it's three eyes and all.

You'll never get one truly house-broken....and be careful, they are hard on the furniture too.

You might be better off using your 'pets' to clear possible mine-fields

With regards to the plot, are you saying there are lasers right in the corridor with the hole blown into it? There shouldn't be anything of the sort there. It should be clear of hostiles right up to the big open hangar area, from there you go to Saya's ship and pilot it the rest of the way inside the pleasure complex.

Voted no...though I have never played Reunion.
Peace is the only path to eternal glory !

This a mix of a couple plot items.

Pleasure complex -- suit to soyas ship, lasers
..and previous plot events -- paranid blaming 2-eyed races for Khaak havok in pontifex's realm (nice loot harvest I.S. if needed) and closing core sectors.

If you suffer through the pleasure complex it's doable. Sort of confusing to naviagte. The beeps mean you're getting closer to the escape pods you need to deal with -- not a count down to destruction.

Shooting the lasers is quite easy. A couple tries and I'd expect you should not have a problem with them. Going full speed isn't that critical and soya's ship has decent shields.

There is a part of the plot shortly after which will open paranid core to you. That is my suggestion.. Just get back to the plot for a bit to get past the paranid clamp down.

Yeah. I remember farming nid ships as I realized my rep never went below a certain point (never hit the lowest rep) so I kept on farming them till I had enough funds what I thought I was good.
