Follow the nav bouys as suggested. It is easy to get turned around during the periodic Shivan attacks as you do so; you will have to struggle with your targeting gear to get back on course, or have an excellent sense of direction. Once you reach the transport spend a short while struggling to issue a C-3-9, then dogfight it with the Shivans that attack. Ordering the fighters to defend the friendly transports doesn't work as well, since they engage at too short a range to prevent hostile fighters from getting off a few shots. | Follow the nav bouys as suggested.
