In older versions, I killed the Ark the old-fashioned way - shoot it until it dies.

It has happened to me once as well, just one shot too many and poof, no wreck to loot.....
After that I have become a bit more careful, use a big gun with WMD to almost kill the ark and finish it off with something less likely to blow up the wreck. Usually some ion weapon (without WMD) will do.

If the Ark wreck has fuel, ammo, or other volatiles in its loot, then taking damage from explosions or WMD weapons has a chance to blow it up like a crate bomb.

----------somebody cooked the books.
The Ark SHOULD Always leave a wreck to loot ( kind of like Arco ) because it's a mission ship.
The Old Ark :
Today's Ark :
explosionType= "&vtThermoExplosion2;"
leavesWreck= "100"
Notice it does not Leave a Wreck...explosionType= "&vtThermoExplosion4;"
To allow a mission ship to explode beyond the Player's ability to loot for a Relic ......that's just setting the Player up to fail the mission.
As much as I play ( usually unregistered or off line ) I NEVER got into the specs of weapons.
I just go with what works for me.
When I get to the Ark I want a Howitzer : usually a Tev9 can handle everything else..
I see stations that are harder to crack, but not ships built better ..kind of self defeating since I think most Players loot & deal with weapon / shield sales then anything and much of that is from shipwrecks.
