What’s your favourite weapon to suppress enemy STO installations? Does it vary between bodies with atmosphere and those without? What I’m after is suggestions for weapons to suppress STO while minimising civlian casualties. In most of my games, I just rain missiles on the enemy, but for RP purposes I’ve decided my current race isn’t that casually genicidal.

I tend to use ships with shields that snipe at long range, then withdraw to recharge when the shields get low. Although that can use up a lot of maintenance supplies, depending on planet terrain.
Makes sense, but what weapons do you use to snipe with? What’s you preference?
I recently hit a bunch of Rakhas STOs. 1-damage weapons only sometimes penetrated the armour, so for long range sniping I’d use either lasers or particle beams. I was using railguns which took a long time and only outranged the gauss PD, not the anti-ship STOs. I only had about 3% accuracy. I wonder if a highly armoured dropship with a bunch of FFDs in it would be worth it for the accuracy increase?
