So a CW settlement generated right next to a Teraton Nest. But the nest hates me. So it starts shooting me. So I got an idea: Why don't I hide behind the CW settlement? So I hid behind the settlement while the Teratons blew it up :D So then I happily filled up my cargo hold with their stuff :D
I really don't care if I get my hair cut... *snip* NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

I love doing stuff like that. One of my favorites is find a hospital CSC and convince xenephobes to blow it up. I then sell everything for weapons to blow up said xenephobes :twisted:

its awesome when the xeno worldship spawns in a system with taikons >.>
Most other places usually don't have enough loot or have at least mediocrely valuable services to justify /not/ blowing them up.
Teratons though are also on the high-priority list though, but you can attack them directly, with the correct weapons.

I agree. The teretons don't even tell each other you blew them up. I sell weapons to one, then blow it up, get my stuff back plus all their stuff, then sell it all to a different tereton nest and repeat the process, selling the ores I get to the ringers. You can easily get a fortune by exterminating the teretons.

Of course, you have to make sure you have a weapon capable of taking them on ;)

Tips: get a long-range, high station-damage weapon that is capable of damaging the teraton station quickly enough, preferably the xeno lancer, as it has no recoil, unlike the howitzers. Then sit far out of range of the defense sats and blast away at the main station. Then activate domina-sustain, dash over and loot the goods, then run away before the sustain wears off, so as to preserve your shields for any actual encounters (domina-sustain recharges very quickly, a minute or two, if even that much.)

However, ferians can chase after you, and thus require... less-lazy tactics - teratons are sitting ducks. :D
