When at an alien home world or at special places like the Chmmr planet in Illrath space (before you send them away) or the planet where the Sun device is in Beta Brehe or around the Sa-Matra, are those ships that seem to radiate out to infinity really limitless or is there a finite number of them.
In other words, if you fight long enough can you kill them all and get to the planet?

Darn, not what I wanted to hear, but I suspected as much. At the point in the game where I get the Sun device, my precursor ship is very powerful and can whip the crap out of Mycons easily. I tried killing them all once but after about 45 min there didn't seem to be an end so I gave up and escaped out. Sadly, I lost count of how many I splatted...

It'd be neat to have a mod which caps it at like a few hundred or something. Then you can lander down and wipe out some life forms.

Wasn't there a mod that did this, amongst other things? Was that Nicolai's?

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

You mean without using the dnyarri? Because nothing else you can get can scratch the Sa-Matra.

Not the outer shell, no. But once past the force field and to the actual ship inside, why not being able to destroy it with Hellbore Cannon? Or why can't there be a way to deliver the bomb to the ship and retreat, detonating it once you're back outside the shell? The fuzed asteroid shell around the ship would actually focus the blast within. That shell might be left over, but the ship itself should be toast. Because the ship itself is not made out of fuzed asteroids. Its just a really big, defenseless ship.
Any ship can be destroyed once past its defenses, Precursor or not. And given the physical layout of the Sa-Matra, the Utwig bomb should be more than powerful enough to destroy everything inside the asteroid shell. There is no real need to destroy the shell itself, and destroying the ship should at least weaken the shell, breaking it into several peices.
Yeah, yeah! Logic vs drama, and drama wins every time! But think about it...

The Chmmr were pretty sure you needed to amplify the bomb in order for it to destroy the Sa-Matra, even up close. It could easily have shields that put the Yehat shields to shame.

Sharing is good.

The Dnyarri is also sure that the bomb by itself is too weak, hence why he refuses to use his powers at that point.
