How to destroy a spacestation?

[Hotfoot]

When I went to go blow up that station, I used its nearby planet. Not for cover, though...I'd use it to repair.

See, even though you're bLasting the heck out of their space station in orbit, the people on the planet below still figure your money is good, so they'll patch you up (after all, those darn space pirates are everyone's problem...why, we heard that there were some space pirates attacking our station! Go give 'em hell, you Terran Scum!), which of course allows me to continually strafe the station in my brand new Mark III Cruiser that I bought special for the occasion.
