I've been attacking this for ages yet getting nowhere and the defender ships keep re-generating no matter how many I kill!

This is the first fortress I'm having difficulty with.

Could be proximity to a stargate, if you mean more guards keep coming.

You may have also recently changed weapons. Particle and Ion are useless against Dwarg fortresses and Behemoths.

Yes it's right next to a stargate.

That makes sense since the particle weapon is what I use.

The dwarg fortress is the only station that uses reflective armor. It, like the behemoths, reflects particle and ion. It also regenerates its armor over time like friendly stations.

Yup... Kinetic weapons will work, but plasma or thermo are best. The dwarg are probably long past where Lamplighter/QAC are...
Just use thermo, unless you're OK w/ using plasma torch.
What's really fun is to get the plasma cannon, then use transpace jumpdrive and bust those colonies for good. :D
I really don't care if I get my hair cut... *snip* NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
