Is saving the Korolov station in Charon easier in 1.06.....?

[Ttech]

I'm a new player and I just saved the Korolov Station in Charon with no wingmen (in fact, I don't even know how you get wingmen...) on my third ever time reaching Charon. I'm flying a Wolfen and using an AK505 that I looted as my main weapon. I took out most of the original spawn with my omnilaser and stilettos and then saw the second spawn coming in on the directional scanner and rushed to intercept them I took out two (out of six?) of the drakes myself and got a shot or two in on a couple of others before the friendlies finished them off in a melee around the base..

I was very surprised to notice the base still standing.

This was in 1.01. So I think that maybe the OP was just lucky like I was.

Charon is certainly defendable but the problem with that is that you never quite get the rewards you get if you just sit and let it get destroyed and destroy the Drakes.

There's definitely room for interesting tweaks to korolov bases....and the Charon thing itself. Making missions and happenings depend on what's been done earlier (Eg. Put an info ROM into a charon fortress you have to kill for a mission. If you get that ROM back to Korolov, it gives away the attack and they give the base better protection AND some sweet missions to take out the pirates ONCE AND FOR ALL etc) is on my "To do" list for modding once I learn how to do missions and global stuff. I actually have never tried to save charon for nearly a year. I need to stop mod-testing and try actually PLAYING some day.
