Capital ships

How do you destroy a capital ships that is a requirement in some missions?

In Arvoch Alliance, you'll generally be provided a ship and weapons powerful enough to complete the objective as part of the campaign (or selectable in multiplayer). In Evochron Legacy, you'll need to work to acquire a ship with sufficient capabilities, weapons, and equipment in order to destroy one. There are also specific weapons designed for capital ship strikes, but it takes quite a lot of in-game credits to acquire them. So if you're not at that level yet, it may be best to avoid them until you are or join up with other players online to cooperatively take one down.

As far as tactics, you'll want to fly in ways to avoid their turrets, usually high speed flybys over the top and/or bottom while firing at them with heavy weapons. Use harmonized beam weapons to cut through the shields first, then follow up with particle cannons and missiles once you've knocked an array low enough.

I'm playing Evochron Legacy SE though, learning the game I assume it's the same tactics?

[Vice]

Yes, same principles, just some variation in weapon and ship capabilities between the two games. Arvoch is more story/campaign/mission based while Evochron is more freeform. So with Arvoch, most of what you need is provided for you as part of the campaign or as configuration/loadout options in multiplayer while Evochron requires building and earning things by managing resources through a more player-directed freeform design.

I see, Evochron is more like my kind of game.

Rocket packs and torpedoes are unguided, extremely powerful weapons best used against slow or stationary targets. Not sold everywhere but, if you find them and can afford them, stock up before heading out to combat the big ships.
