well........... the missouri seems invincible (in the hacked demo version i flew about 20 torps (11000 hull damage / 500 shield) into it and it didnt blow up

BUT in the stats it says ships killed. and battleships is under there

so, atm, i dunno

You kill atleast one enemy battleship in one of the SP missions.

Yes...you do in some SP missions with some help...the game is called "Freelancer"...not "Dumblancer".

I was wondering this too. I assumed only things that display shield and/or hull bars were destroyable, though I never bought missiles/torps much yet to try it (I'm an all-guns guy a lot of the time - lol). Is there a way with the proper weapons to destroy bases, etc? (I'd assume no...I'd think it'd have to be scripted to allow that or it'd cause a mess of problems from a technical standpoint).

I tried to destroy a station, I flew like 7 11000+ hull damage torpedoes into it and shot like mad at it with 1100+ hull damage lasers into it.

No to stations and battleship-stations.

In SP you get several chances to destroy capital ships in the scripted missions, but none of them are established bases.

As a funny aside, the main guns on the capital ships don't even work. In one particular mission I positioned myself between a cruiser and the battleship it was firing it's main gun on. The shots passed right through me. It would appear the eventual death of the battleship was a scripted event timed for dramatic effect as opposed to and damage being dealt by the cruiser.

The point defense guns, on the other hand, hurt like hell.

Could someone program or script it so us bad boys can go blow up battleships left and right! it would be alot of fun to see thoses huge ship blow up! or even stations, just like wing commander! shot two torpedos at them, and boom! itS gone lol.
