ACT 2 MISSION 16

Description: Investigate a suspected Shivan rallying point.

Background

With the arrival of Pegasus stealth fighters, multiple stealth scouts have been deployed to investigate Shivan intentions in Phi Eridani and throughout Tau Sigma. Alpha is assigned to the suspected rallying point for the Shivan armada.

Walkthrough

You can only use the GTF Pegasus for this mission.

You and Alpha 2 notice there's a lot of Shivan ships. Target each capital ship for two seconds to get a reading. You should see three destroyers, three Moloch-class corvettes, and fifteen cruisers. Beware of Cancer and Aries wings (flying Manticores and Aeshmas respectively).

After you get a head count, start scanning the three corvettes, and after that, scan the destroyers' Navigation subsystems. If you're in front of the Nyarlathotep, it will summon a Knossos portal. Don't freak out, keep scanning if you need to. After that, fly as far as you can.

The fleet will go into subspace, and the fighters will be left behind. Kill them if you want to. The Cypher and Escher will be on their way to assist. After they come into the scene and a bit of dialogue happens, you can leave the area.

Tips

  • You can assign all the capital ships to one hotkey in the Lists (F3 button) to facilitate cycling through all of them in one quick succession.
