Starsector - Destroying a Star Fortress in One Month! (Speedrun)

A half-serious speedrun to blow up a Star Fortress as fast as possible! It took some experimentation and a few attempts to refine the strategy and routing used in this run. From loading the new game to the Star Fortress kill, this attempt took less than 12 real-time minutes to complete - not bad given the lack of thorough optimizations!
The ships and equipment required to take down a High-Tech Star Fortress (IMO, the easiest to solo) are fairly flexible, so long as they can equip Reapers and avoid getting hit. If you have the piloting skills, destroying stations is quite a reliable way of gaining early XP - made even more lucrative if patrols are around to inflate the bonus XP percentage.
Run is done in Starsector 0.97a-RC11. Aside from the Java 23 conversion kit by Himemiko, no other mods were used, and battle size settings remained at default settings.

A strategy worthy of a true knight of Ludd!

Nice idea, execution can use a bit of practice, also - why high tech battlestation and not some pirate low tech space station?

[@EvlNinjadude]

Star Fortress is technically the highest level of station there is. Its benefit is that the shield and armor are separate modules from the gun emplacements with a separate flux pool. This also means that they rotate separately, and can be bypassed. It's a strong station module with small but vital weak spots, like the death star.
The low tech star fortress gains ablative armor, and the midline fortress gains annoying spikes that would need to get blown off. Though that's not impossible.
I think it's mostly the weakspot availability but I might be wrong.
