I logged onto the server for the first time since the reset, and in that time
I have managed to colonize a bit of the new world in the name of Team Space Pirate Wizard.
But enough about those other people; let's talk about what I've done.
I decided to get closer so that I could actually line up my shots properly, but went a little too fast and, since the ship wasn't shielded and there weren't too many thrusters on the thing, I wasn't able to get out fast enough to avoid my gun ship being torn apart my turret fire.
One at a time, I turned the cloaker and the jammer on and off, noticing no reaction from the turrets. Then I turned them both off, and noticed the turrets moving! I immediately reactivated them, but eventually, due to perhaps
scientific curiousity, I decided to see what would happen if I kept myself visible a little while more. The turrets wiggled, but I realized that they could not turn inward to shoot at me. The station was at my mercy!
Unfortunately, I found my pistol to be a bit too merciful too overcome the stations shields. I needed some more firepower, but I had used up all my AMCs making the gun ship that got blown up. So, after extracting myself to get to a store, a close call with a pirate fleet, and the same song and dance routine as before, I was back in place and built myself a proper piece to take out the station's faction module.
And after going through all that to take the station down, and since I didn't have a better place to stash the loot anyway, I decide to make the station into my homebase.
