Act 3 Mission 4 - Capture the Accelerator

how do you disable the LDA shield on the jump accelerator? i looked in the walkthrough and it says to fly through the shield, but my ship blows up. it also says the LDA generators can only be destroyed if individually selected, but the only contact on my radar is a waypoint of the station, can anyone help me out on this one? thanks guys.

Inside the accelerator are three (if I remember correctly) lights upon the wall of the "tube". You cannot target them. Take off aim assist or use a cutting beam on them. The shield will drop.

The best option is using a deathblow missile and firing it in the middle of shield.

Give it a good bang.....

See I told you that would fix it.

Well that's no fun Pandion...You gotta get INSIDE the tube with the cutting beam. That way, when the whole fleet jumps in just as you drop the shield, you get to scream, frantically dodge using maneuvering jets, wait forever for your ship to back out of the accelerator, while ships blur past you at ludricrous speed.

Yeah Pandion, if it ain't suicide, then where's the fun in it huh?

Shooting stations so the cruiser and carriers come is fun, and that's not suicide.

Now doing it with the Elite mod, that's suicide
