I've been shooting this one ship for long enough to boil an egg and it still hasn't blown up.
Silly arena question.
OK, you're in the arena and the opposition has shields / armor that is so tough it isn't even funny. If you can actually _push_ the ship out of the gate (using missiles or cannon shots, etc.) does he default on the match?

No, once the match has started, the gate is sealed and impassable. Even if you manage to push the ship through the walls, the match will not end.
I think you need to buy some new weapons.
Edit: Are you having trouble getting through his shields or his armor? It is possible to have a shield that regenerates to fast to knock it down with a weak weapon, but damage to armor should add up over time. However, there are some enemies that you have to hit in specific areas to damage.

Pretty sure it was armour - no little green flashes. I was getting dizzy watching him spin in circles so I gave up (EMP, blam - blam - blam - blam, slam-cannon, boom - boom - boom - boom - boom - boom - boom - boom) x 1 jillion.Curudan wrote:Edit: Are you having trouble getting through his shields or his armor?
if you *really* get desperate, you can always attempt to crate-bomb the enemy.....EMP it repeatedly, and use the slam cannon to knock it into the wall and/or slow it to a halt, EMP it some more, then drop ammo, fuel, and any hydrogen/oxygen you have into a crate under it....you may be abe to find extra in the wrecks of ships in the arena....then retreat to a safe distance, EMP it some more so it doesn't move away....and shoot the crate. In theory you might either knock out the shield, weaken it, or damage the armor.....although it's a long shot in the extreme.
Normally, I'd never advocate this, as it is a definite waste of money and resources (particularly fuel), and is both unlikely to actually *kill* the target, and is REALLY hard to set up. but if you *need* to finish the duel in order to re-quip your ship......then it's worth a try.
