Battle Station

== Battle Station ==
*Battle stations will be a type of PvE mission or raid boss.
**At lower levels, a wing of fighters can take on a battle station
**At higher levels, as a "Raid boss", Battlestations will require an entire squad
*Battlestations are multi-stage fights with layered defenses
**Fighters and bombers are used in combination to take out a battle station
***Bombers act as 'nukes', delivering a heavy destructive payload
***Fighters must protect the bombers from waves of enemy ships sent to take them out
**At early levels, weak points will be automatically targeted
**At higher levels, players must manually target weak points
== Noteworthy Quotes ==
*"You send the bomber at the capital ship, then you want the light fighters to protect the bomber. That’s the kind of experience we want to create."-- Hermann Peterscheck
*"I expect that higher end combat will be a mix of massive numbers of ships, capital ships with massive firepower and large battlestations. It works in movies and it works in games." -- Hermann Peterscheck
*"One lower-level raid we are shown sees players swooping in and around a heavily armed space station – but higher-level players will have their ability to automatically target its weak points disabled."-- Edge Online
