How to destroy a spacestation?

[Captain]

The first time I destroyed the alien space station I use the biggest shield generator (~5k) and armor (~3k) I could find, and lots of emergency shield capacitors. I also had four point defense cannons to stop over half the incoming missles. I stripped off all side and rear armor and shields to save weight. The second time, I sat at out of rage and just fired the long range missles.

Freeport Station is very easy to take out since it doesn't fire on you at first. Get to within 20 range, and a full salvo takes out an entire side's shields and armor. Second salvo is all internal damage.

I would think the full game would have upgraded space stations compared to the demo.
