ACT 3 MISSION 9
Fighter squadron:
Description:
Background
Your objective is to destroy the Lucifer. The Lucifer has five reactors located on its main hull. In order to eliminate the Lucifer, these reactors must be destroyed.
Walkthrough
The ideal ship to use in this mission is the Hercules, as it combines heavy firepower with a strong hull (helpful since you don't have any shields).
This mission is significantly easier than it would seem, given its importance. Usually dogfighting Shivans for 10 minutes will win it for you; the Shivans don't pose much of a threat with their shields gone. The best strategy, however, and one that becomes necessary on the higher difficulty levels, is to follow your wing's lead and destroy the Lucifer's weapons subsystem first. This will prevent the Lucifer from shooting down Delta wing's bombs, and Delta only has a limited supply (and can't rearm). Delta starts the mission a few kilometers behind you, so you'll even have enough time to destroy the subsystem before they close within bombing range. Once the weapon subsystem is destroyed, just protect Delta.
Note that you can't issue Delta any orders in this mission.
