Re: Black Hole Fortress? POSSIBLE SPOILERS
 

It seems like every time I find the Damocles, I have a cloak. I just cloak my ship, send it on in to dock. It inevitably collides with a rotating drone, but has never destroyed me. Then Damocles just slowly and ponderously takes care of the drones, which strangely do not attack.

Or maybe they never attack...I've actually never encountered them without having the Cloak....

They attack, but their weapons are permanently facing outwards.

and their weapons are very short range, so you can just stand off a little ways and pick them off.

Another option - use the Zorg fighter to warp into the Damocles and capture it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Usually, I use the following steps:
cloak, ram, sneak in, board.
Heheheeeee.

Although any decent fleet with enough medium-range firepower fill knock down the drones.

Can someone tell me how to find the Damocles? I have found the Horloge of Primordius and found the starbase, but never have found the damocles.

You just need to keep looking for it. The radar image it projects when you jump in system is pretty unique.

Re: Black Hole Fortress? POSSIBLE SPOILERS
 

yeah, but if youve never seen it before, you might mistake it for something else. I realized after encountering it once, that I had actually seen it before and fled because I didnt think my ship was strong enough to survive a Mukiton encounter.

d'oh!
