ACT 1 - MISSION 12
Fighter squadron: 74th Templars
Description: Capture an EA Cargo Depot in Ross 128.
Background
The 74th Templars have been transferred back to the GTD Ramayana. With the Earth Alliance forces cut down in Delta Serpentis, the Ramayana task force moves to assault EA outposts in Ross 128 and investigate their intentions.
The objective of this sortie is to capture a high-traffic EA Cargo Depot, guarded by multiple cruisers and strike craft.
Walkthrough
You have two three-ship wings. Recommend switching out the Hercules Mark III for another craft, you'll probably need the extra speed. (Either use the Ereshkigal if you're confident in knife-fighting capability in thick point defense envelopes, or use the Perseus for a hit-and-run craft that can use the Corinthos.) Either way, prefer everyone has something that can use the Hastor.
Start by taking out Gaia and Thalassa Wings, keeping your distance from the Sidonis and Alcibiades.
Then, destroy both of the Carriers' Radar Systems (the antennas take six Cornithos missiles, otherwise perform a hit-and-run fly-by strike with the Hastor and Hurricanes). That will shut down the depot's sentry grid. In the meantime, destroy the Freighters.
After a re-arming break, the Aglyptis and Ephilates will jump into the field. Start drawing Lux and Iross Wings away from their escorts and take them out. The two ships will have taken off (don't worry about scanning the Aglyptis if you're not confident in surviving the flak envelope or otherwise at the mercy of the wing's EMP-capable missiles).
Everything seems fine for now, until an anomaly pops up in the depot. Your wingmen and Command warns you about this, so get to full burners and get to seven kilometers away from the danger zone (a beacon will mark the epicenter).
After you get clear and your wingmen rally on you, watch the fireworks show, listen to some exposition, and jump back to base.
