The reverse thruster trap can be disabled by either:
 
−
* Turning off the offending [[Small Thruster|small thruster]] from the [[Cockpit 2|cockpit]] or any other terminal. (last small thruster on the list)
 
−
* Removing / Disabling the offending small thruster with a [[Grinder|grinder]].
 
−
 
−
To gain access to the offending thruster, use the grinder on the [[Interior Wall|interior wall]] to the left of the [[Assembler]].<br/>
 
−
You should then see the first [[Warhead|warhead]] in the trap's chain. Using a grinder on a warhead won't set it off, so you can remove that too.<br/>
 
−
Then use the grinder on the small thruster, at least until it is disabled, then you're ready to go.

−
Alternatively, if you're in a hurry, you can maneuver the ship to where you need it by only applying thrust in a forward direction. <br/>
 
−
This will mean that you need to point the ship away from your destination before you switch on the dampeners.

A Military Escort is a type of cargo ship.

A Military Escort

Defenses

Anti-ship defenses

This is a military ship, so it's no surprise that it's heavily guarded.

All turrets are connected to the cargo containers via conveyor tubes.

Anti-personnel defenses

The ship's interior has no defenses.

Tactics

Approach

s of v.1.030 (list), the Gatling Turrets and Missile Turrets are functioning and will shoot you if you are moving with more than 3m/s.
Best aproach is, so far, to use several decoys (can be real Decoy or any block moving with more than 3 m/s) to distract the turrets. Since the Military Escort has no front or bottom turrets, the best approach vector is from the lower front.
Alternatively you can move slightly below of the path of the ship at a distance of more than 800m and activate the Inertia dampeners to keep absolutely still.
When the ship is above you, match speed with ship. But stay really close to the ship and out of the target area of the turrets.
Then access a terminal link and turn the turrets off (or the "Target moving objects" option)

Attack

As of v.1.030 (list), the Gatling Turrets and Missile Turrets are functioning and will shoot you if you are moving with more than 3m/s
However, the Military Escort has one major weak point. Directly adjacent to the side entrance is an Interior Wall. This weak wall is all that shields one of the Small Reactors powering the ship.

Entry

There are two ways to enter this ship, from each side of the ship. These can be seen on the floor-plan below:

Cargo containers

All of the six small cargo containers are interconnected and can be raided from any point.

Changes:

As of v.1.030 (list), the new Military Escort not booby trapped anymore. It is now equipped with a Collector and a Connector which are connected to all small cargo containers and all turrets via conveyor tubes.
The cargo capacity is slightly enlarged (6 instead of 2 small cargo containers).The color scheme is also changed
