From there on out, the mission is standard escort. Protect all targets of value, take out enemy warheads and bombers first, then worry about fighters. Use your wingmen well...you know the drill.

ACT 3, MISSION 3

Fighter squadron: 203rd Scorpions

Description: Capture Bosch and retrieve the ETAK project.


Background

Admiral Khafre declares victory over the Shivan Juggernaut, but announces that the GTVA Colossus has sustained moderate damage. The Admiral then announces the continuation of the locating and apprehension of Admiral Bosch, and details the discovery of the ETAK device that was Bosch's brainchild, Bosch's discovery of the Knossos subspace portal, and Bosch's attempt to communicate with the Shivans.

Reconnaissance has located the Iceni and Alpha and Beta wings of the 203rd Scorpions are being sent in to secure the command frigate. Bosch and his followers are boarding Shivan transports and escaping.

Walkthrough

A recommended loadout is a GVF Serapis armed with the GTW Maxim, GTW Prometheus S, a bank of Harpoons and a bank of Hornets or Tornados.

First off, make sure none of your wingmen are flying the Serapis, but the primary selection is up to you. I personally like a mixture of Seths, Taurets, and Horuses. As soon as the Azmedaj and Sammael appear on your escort list, order your heavy fighters to attack the cruisers and your interceptors to cover the Iceni. You can either help eliminate the cruisers or cover the Iceni, depending on what floats your boat.

From there on out, the mission is standard escort. Protect all targets of value, take out enemy warheads and bombers first, then worry about fighters. Use your wingmen well...you know the drill.
