Yeah but if in mission you let 'em blow it up, they will :nod: i reckon if the Shivans know how to find a homeworld a station should be pretty easy once in system to track down :)

Clawandfang:
Reading that made me think; did the Shivans actually know they were headed for our homeworld, or were they still looking for it? We were in a race against them, but did they realise they were in a race?

I suppose, but they went a bit too far when they blew it up entirely. :P

No, what he means is that the fighter wings were attacking the Taranis for show, so that they could then track the Taranis to where a GTA base was.

Sounds plausible. Attack the Taranis so that the GTA will stick to it even tighter, instead of becoming suspicious. Then again, I suppose it is possible that the fighter wings were actually attempting to destroy the Taranis. They failed. Then, the Shivans simply tracked it and, for some reason, deployed the Lucy. Maybe it was in the vicinity. Maybe they really wanted to prevent the GTA from acquring data from the Taranis and decided that excessive firepower was the only option. Maybe that was a show. Taunt the GTA with the Lucy to make them understand why capturing Shivan capital ships is not tolerable.

If it was bait, then why the hell would the Basilisks destroy it if you fly away and don't defend it?

This is probably a gameplay issue rather than a plot issue. After all, why make a mission to protect a craft if the enemy arn't even going to destroy it?
