Well this is the place to talk about how to kill Gargants.  Here's mine:

Fit a subspace drive onto Mars, and hollow out anything below the crust.  make Mars Jump around the Gargant then make it jump into the core of the sun. then force mars to open up, thus killing the Gargant in a fiery deathy manner.

Or you could crush it in a Black Hole!!!

What a strange first post

[Woomeister]

Hmm this thread might be amusing in the morning

Convert as many factories as you can to the production of Armageddons, and use the black hole effects to tear chunks out of the Gargant until a critical part is exposed. But that's assuming it's a real black hole instead of a really powerful bomb, so this strategy wouldn't work in-game.

[InfernoGod]

Keep the Inferno Team from working on it for as long as possible, then they'll say "It's pretty outdated, like some of our older stuff." Then they'll delete it. No more Gargant.
And the Gargant isn't supposed to die.
But you could always do this:

Alt+~+K ten times
Boom.

Dude, all you have to do is put A MIRROR in front of the Gargant.  Then, when the Gargant fires its beam, it shoots ITSELF.

[pyro-manic]

Get an Admin to bash it with his Hammer of Justice. Nothing could survive that.

Write some gramatically incorrect grafatti on its hull, then call Goober. From there, you've just gotta sit back and watch from a safe distance.

[Goober5000]

AUGH!

I thought you were the Grammar Inquisition, not the Spelling Inquisition. Well, there is one grammar error though.

at Goober.

[Striker]

Beams. Lots and lots of beams.

[WMCoolmon]

Wait, what's wrong with 'you just'?

My vote is that you send a ship or fleet of ships inside the hangar bay. With something that big, it just HAS to have some massive vulnerability (unshielded reactor core, open ventilation shaft). Finding it can be another mission for Alpha 1.

[Jetmech Jr.]

Silly forumites. You don't kill the Gargant.

IT kills YOU.

[phreak]

so apparently ~+k actually does 100,000 damage, which in FS1 was sufficient to kill everything except the lucifer

i think it could be changed.




Actually you see, the Shivans run Windows ME and uh, it crashes and the reactors die.

[StratComm]

Shivan officer: SCREEEEEEE SCHA SCREECH

computer: Windows has performed an illegal operation and will shut down.

*lights go off*

SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

arrrr.....the volition bravos be needed for this!! YAARRR!

[Jetmech Jr.]

...You have any idea how long it would take them to even kill a Lilith, let alone the Gargant?

"Yaar. ATTACK!"
*10 Years later*

"Status report..."

"Arr, cap'n. She's at 99% and fallin'..."

"Ugh...Let jes' call it a fine day's work and get us a pint."

Ok. The Bravos + they are outfitted with the weapons the Gargant uses.

YAAAAR!!!
