What exactly is up with Council Station? Why is there and what purpose does it serve? Also, I have received an important mission that's destination is off the map..what I mean by this is that it's so far away from any of the systems that I have on my map, that there's no way to get to it..the reason that these two seem to go together is because someone once told me or I read it somewhere that the Council had something to do with restricting ships from going past the Azdgari planets at the top right of the map..anyone wanna help me out..?

First of all, Council Station is only there for people like you to look at and wonder about. It's only purpose is for plug designers. As for the sytem off the map, are you using a plug like Beyond the Crescent?

Is it possible to conquer the Council Station? (as in demand tribute and get it) I've been trying with a maxed out UE Cruiser and a fleet of cresent warships, and I get beat every time.

Yes, it is possible. It is just that you have to have a very modified Voinian Dreadnought, a full load of escort of Voinian Cruisers that are captured.(you can have 38)

How the frig can you get 38 escorts? The max number of escorts is 6! And even if you COULD get more then 6 escorts(Witch I LONG have wanted to do) 38 ships would more then max out the ships per system limit. Of course if you have found a way to avoid those facts then you should tell everyone. Especily me.

------------------
I guss Hucked on Fonex werked fer you tew.

He doesn't mean 38 cruisers noodle brain! He means 38 total ships (and its 34). You get this by having 6 cruiser escorts to deploy their fighters all at once, which max's out the systems number of ships. Therefore, the Council station can only send out 2-4 ships (1 by 1) maximum, before you take it over.

In EV i used the trick to take over every (EVERY) system in the galaxy by deploying 30+ lightnings from my Kestrel. (To know how, you need to see BackSTABa's old post on his tractor beam trick, which works like a charm). If you can't find the post, i'll tell u how.

you can capture more than 6 escorts

G-Dawg, you can sorta do that without the tractor beam I you're in a UE cruiser and are fighting a Carrier. Just hit it with your phase cannons, and before it has time to even finish releasing its fighters it's disabled.

I am using Beyond The Cresent, yes, and every time I get a mission to the planet off the map, it says it's in the Gadzair system..anyone know what I can do? Can I get to the planet or what..?

Also..thanks to everyone who helped me out.

Not in EV, and in EVO, you don't get many fighters, maybe 2. With the tractor beam trick, yu can get all the Lightnings you want (my brother has 57 in his Kestrel)

I think he's talking about fighters that come with cruisers. I'm not sure, though, maybe I'm wrong. (wouldn't be the first time)

you CANNOT capture more than 6 escort ships in any current released version of EV. if you try to do so, you will be told that you have reached your maximum number of escorts.

your escorts may not only have their own ships, but they regenerate when you jump from the system if they have been destroyed.

THE END
