Default Re: Black Hole Fortress? POSSIBLE SPOILERS

You can find where Primordius' fortress is located, either by finding the "Horloge of Primordius", or by using a "Continuum Renderer Array" or an "Hyperwave Filter Array" (which will detect which black hole contains ships). Anyway, this isn't the important part of the story.

You have two ways of destroying Primordius' fortress:
- you use the Damocles ship
- or you use the Chromium Gong (well it works fine with the Fortress itself, though I don't know about the ships)


The famed Damocles ship is protected by a circle of protection drones. They use powerful medium range weapons, so the only realistic way of defeating them is by using a long range weapon, the most efficient being (of course) a good ol' "Particle Vortex Cannon". I haven't tried boarding Damocles while cloaked, maybe it works too.

The Damocles ship has an "Anti-Graviton Shunt" already installed onboard, so you don't need to worry finding this item before going to the black hole. It also has some powerful weapons (Cobalt Torpedoes), which are necessary for destroying Primordius' fortress. But you'd better transfer your best hardware from your current ship to the Damocles, especially if you own a powerful shield, a cloaker, good thrusters, and a "Sardion Optimizer".

A Hyperdrive can also be quite useful, if the black hole is located across the sector.

PS: I only play medium-sized maps, so I may not always give a thorough explanation about everything.
