You mean the Typhoon?

I think he's talking about the Eva. Whatever, I wouldn't compare an FS1 battle with an FS2 battle. The FS2 Demon has 60% more hitpoints than the FS2 Ravana, making itself and it's turrets much stronger. Imo the Ravana is a joke. If it doesn't attack a ship frontal, it's toast.

But if it -DOES- attack a ship head-on, its lethal. Remember what it did to the Actium and the Lysander ?

Oh, yeah, it damaged the Actium to 50% and had the Lysander self-destruct. :

(sorry for using the rolleyes smiley in advance....)

And the FS1 Demon had 60% less armor than the FS2 Demon. And it was the Eva.

So... wait... I distinctly remember doing nothing more to the Lucifer than killing its engines first and then taking out only the reactors... and BOOM, it's exploding out of the hole-in-space.  Needless to say I had come under the impression that if you destroy its reactors, it dies.

It doesn't work like that, does it?  *sighs*

For gameplay and storyline purposes, yes, taking out all 5 of the Lucifer's reactors is enough to set off a "chain reaction" that takes down the entire ship.  However, I'm unsure as to whether that behavior is caused by specific FREDding in the mission in question, or if it's something that's hard-coded into the Lucifer's table entry.

Undoubtedly, it's FREDed, as I tried the same thing in a (n00bish) mission after I discovered FRED.
