Allies "hazard"

Post by Bloody_Lemon »

In one of my first games in AE I've encountered a beacon where I fought off a massively powerful rebel and there was a green hazard icon with PBA (was it Planet-Based Artillery?). Unfortunately I was very low on hull and I accidentally skipped the event text confusing it with some from original. I died almost immediately to a heavy barrage and was unable to check out my enemy getting attacked from below.

Has anyone encountered this event? I guess it's in rebel stronghold sector, my memory is fuzzy on it. Does the PSA works the same as rebels now?

It's planetary defense system. It will shoot hostile ship, when weapon is locked, dealing 3 damage and breaching your hull. It's possible to dodge it. This hazard can be allied or hostile.

You can get stuff like this in the abandoned sector too.
I think it's an event where the federation is in a small battle with a fleet of Lanius ships.
Something like "One of the Lanius fighters breaks formation, and starts targeting you!"
Then you fight a Lanius ship, with an allied planetary defense system damaging the enemy ship occasionally.
