 Now you have to protect the drydock and your fighters are outnumbered.  The biggest threats to the drydock are the VLS torpedo launchers on the Custos cruisers.  You can take them down a variety of ways:
-* Take a fast, maneuverable fighter like the Atalanta, Aurora or Perseus, and TAG the gunboats so the Mjolnirs and capital ships can target them with beam fire.
+* Take a fast, maneuverable fighter like the Atalanta, Aurora or Perseus, and TAG the gunboats so the Mjolnirs and capital ships can target them with beam fire. If you've chosen the TAG route, remember that the point defense cannons have a range of 1500, and your TAG missiles have a range of 2000.
-* Take a ship with big secondary banks like the Rhea or Artemis, and use Trebuchet and Maxim fire to knock out the torpedo launchers from long range.
+* Take the Rhea, and use Trebuchet/Maxim fire to knock out the torpedo launchers from long range.
-* Traditional bombing runs.  This is doable, but difficult because of how competent Federal point defenses are.
+* A combination of the two.  The Artemis with two banks Trebuchet and one bank TAG missiles works well for this, but you run the risk of getting shot down by UEF fighters.
 Shortly afterward, GTVA reinforcements arrive: an [[Aeolus]], six [[GTF Myrmidon|Myrmidons]], and six [[GTF Kulas|Kulas]].  The UEF raiders warp out once they've taken sufficiently heavy losses, or if the drydock is destroyed.  Once they've left, there's some dialogue.  After the dialogue, jump back to the Chanticleer.

 You'll start next to a [[Ganymede]]-class drydock and an [[Arcadia]]-class installation, guarded by three [[Leviathan]] cruisers and a quartet of [[Mjolnir]] cannons.  Once you arrive, Kappa wing will return to the Phoenicia, and you'll take over for them.  After some dialogue, the disabled freighter Miriam Godwinson will warp in 10,000 meters from the station.  Fly to the Godwinson and scan it.

 When you scan the Godwinson, the UEF springs a trap.  A Federation AWACS jumps in at very long range, jams your long-range comms, scrambles the capital ships' beam targeting, and vectors in a strike force.  Four [[UEC Custos]]-class gunboats, two [[FTF Jackal|Kentauroi]], and four [[FTF Lancer|Uhlans]] warp in, targeting the drydock.
