How much armor to those freakin’ stations have!?

[Keiichi]

I recently installed the Station Assault mod, thinking that my Fusion missiles would make destroying stations easier than falling off a log, only to discover that it took a whopping 15 missiles to destroy a station, even with each missile dealing 1,000 damage with a penetration of 500 and an anti-matter explosion that supposedly “takes out anything and everything”. Naturally, I assumed that the stations were just extremely well-armored, so I modified the missiles to deal 50,000 damage with a penetration of 5,000. Much to my surprise, it still took upwards of 15 missiles to do the job. Curious, I moved in and unloaded on the now-defenseless station with 2 fully-charged mining lasers, and fired my dual quad-light PBCs into it’s hull plates for what must have been 60 seconds or more. Suprisingly, it didn’t even seem like I made a dent.

I’m assuming that something just isn’t working right. There’s no way that these stations can be that well-armored. Anyone know what’s going on?
