Battleships

Ok i have the PR Beta from the contest and Im wondering if it is possible to destroy battleships in multiplayer mode cause it keeps track of your killsed and battleships are listed but after unloading 50 torps into battleship yukon outside LA nothing happened, so is it possible or can you only do it through mp missions or something?

Welcome aboard! Well I have not heard anything about blowing up the bigger ships! I would think you could but not for sure good question though maybe someone who has or know's will let us know because I would like to know too!

I don't think that would be possible, after all there is no system in game to warn any players who may on board the ship of the impending attack. thus u could destroy the ship and the players would have no idea why their ship just dissappeared....plus no graphics have been rendered for the explosion from inside (that would be REALLY cool, no space game has ever let ou see ur ship blow up from the inside) Anyway, sorry butt i don't think that will be possible except in SP.

yeah you guys are right that me killing a ship someone was on would be rather interesting(same with stations but thats a different matter), but the real point is, in the player info screen it keeps track of how many ships of each type you kill and Fighter,Freighter,Transport, and Battleship are listed. Now i can kill the other three kinds but why would they list battleships if you can't kill them? So has anyone found a battleshiop that you can't dock on? maybe in a level 100 mission or something? Or do killing Gunboats count as killing battleships??

If you've played the single player, there are destroyable battleships, for instance, the one that is blocking the Trade Lane in a certain mission (that shouldn't be a spoiler), and after replaying the mission about 6 times (I wasn't really trying to kill the Battleship, but it worked much faster when I was helping), I got the credit. I'm pretty sure there are other destroyable battleships, too, like the ones that threaten the Osiris.

If you're not sure what I'm talking about, play the SP!

From what ive read in other forums(mainly edting) you cannot destroy battleships stations so on because they are set for selling ships comods,and equiptment,i dont know the physics but im sure it cant be done ...
