EDIT: Sorry, forgot to mention that this is regarding The Sicilian Defense

Were you able to destroy the GTC Epigoni? If so, how did you pull it off?

It remains on the battlefield for like 5 seconds, and it has got so many turrets. By the time I destroy some turrets to approach, it warps out with around 33% hull integrity before I can destroy it. Even with the Hyksos pounding on it, it survives, as I have only enough time to hit it with a single volley of double-cyclops torpedoes after disarming it.

I took an Ursa bomber with the following loadout:

Primaries:
Both banks: (5x)Prometheus-S (Acheton requires me to get too close to Aeolus cruisers)

Secondaries:
5x Cyclops
5x Cyclops
10x Stilleto II

I was even fully-loaded and waited for the ship to warp in. It has too many engines to try to disable it - I need to destroy it before it can warp out.

It would be very helpful to know which campaign this is about....

Sorry, I forgot to mention that this is regarding The Sicilian Defense in the FreeSpace 2 main campaign.

Did you already tried the "Attack my target" command?

Actually you do not need to disarm it... you should have enough time to approach it once and to fire two banks of Cyclops right near it...

IIRC I got every ship in that mission on Insane. I think the key is to Stiletto everything. You can get enough engine shots off to pin her down.

Thanks, folks! I will try your advice

P.S. Wow, I can't imagine playing this on Insane. I'm having enough trouble as it is on Normal.

If I remember correctly, Epigoni was the ship I rammed to death  , after some Cyclops' destroying its engines, its not so hard, a Sobek can easily deal with it.
