Hi, im quite new at this and could use some help...
Im in this mission where an enemy battleship wich is carrying 2500 solar cells is being escorted by 4 fighters...
Its my mission to stop ém!
No problem so far.. so i kill all fighters untill only the battleship is left... At this point i just start passing it inert over and over while avoiding missles and flak. when i am in range i give it everything i've got, but nothing....i passed it like 20 times like this but the shield doesnt even lower or anything... I even went back to the nearest station to buy new missles. when i came back i found the battleship again and i got close enough for misslelock... i fired them all, but nothing....
what am i missing? please help!
Thnx

Hi and welcome.
I normally strafe back and forth behind it's engine targeting the engine (cycle targeting with U).
Use lasers to bring down shields and then go for guns. Never need any missiles to take them out.
I use Icespear (Class 2) and Fusion Laser (Class 5).
Good luck!

AHHHH!!!!!
Still no luck, i followed your advice several times but still it seems too hard.. whenever i get close enough for the laser to hit the battleship it attacks me with flak and rockets! the flak disorients me so i cant repell the rockets and...... dead...
I even got some (ai) wingmen to help me. the strange thing is that they can safely fly close behind the batlleship and attack it without being attacked themselves! im the only ship thats being attacked by it! even when im not as close as my wingmen are...
so i thought, what the hell, just let my wingmen kill it.. and they did.. but then there is no mission accomplished after this!!!??? hmmmmm...
I use:
- particle cannon: C10 Razor with cannon relay system
- Laser: C3 Beam coil
This should be sufficient to destroy it right? and what distaince do i have to be to hit the battleship with laser/cannon?
Thanks!

re.
Do you fly in inertia mode (IDS off)?
That will give you a much lesser heat signature. Then dispose CM:s as needed when missiles are close.
The distance is determined by your Guns. Razor only have a distance of 450.
I would change to Icespear if I were you. Found in Sapphire. Distance 700 on that one.
Also try to get your hands on a Fusion Laser (Class 5).
Make sure the MDTS is ON (Targeting system)
Equipment I use are:
- Shield Booster C5 (Allows you to shift shield energy to different directions)
- Repair Sys C3 (Repairs your ship on the fly)
- Shield Recharger(Transfers energy from mains to shield array)
- Cannon Heatsink (Increases Firing Rate)
- Cannon Relay System (Doubles cannon firepower)
Some pilots like the Auto CM Launcher and/or the Anti-Missile System as well.
Boost your shields forward for better protection.
Keep at it, we have all been where you are!;)

re.
Any time mate.
If you haven't already, join MP and get some help there.
I often take new players on as a Gunner. They grab a beer and just tag along for the ride watching how I do it.
Then we do it together in our own ships, then I keep distance giving hints so he/she can handle it alone.
You're learning will speed up greatly in MP since most players will drop what they do and assist you.
It's all about practice. Once you get a hang of it, it's very easy!
(I do know your frustration. I almost killed my stick before I got a hang of it)
Good Luck!

re.
I found a sweet spot underneath a BS where missiles cant touch you. I found it cuz Im a cheapskate and dont wanna but stealth packs 
If you match speed and say directly underneath around 1/3rd the way up from the engines the missiles just hit the BS itself. No CM needed.

re.
Alaric's on the right track here. Not a spoiler, just a good, handy tip. Pilot Powell used to teach this very same approach to taking out cap ships, of any stripe. Matching speed with the target, going inert, and blasting away at the shields from the "sweet spot" does work. Ye jist haff ta git to it! Always, always. always order the AI/NPC Navy drelgs to attack your target while you're so engaged. That helps some too. That is, if they've not left the AO for a beer run. :P:P:P:P
Practise, practise, practise. Is way you get to Carnegie Hall! (Or kill cap ships, as the case may be).
