ACT 1, MISSION 9
Fighter squadron: 242nd Suicide Kings
Description: The 242nd must defend a resupply convoy for the Colossus.
Background
The NTF, now aware of the Colossus are avoiding direct conflict with the juggernaught, and targeting its resupply convoys. The 242nd is ordered to protect one such convoy.
Walkthrough
Quite a big ship, ohhh! A vessel of this size requires constant maintance. You have to defend a supply convoy in this mission. Choose your prefered loadout for this mission. I suggest double banks of GTM Tempests in this mission, too. The NTF attacks the convoy continously with GTB Medusa bombers. You may engage the bombers to avoid losing a single convoy ship. During the battle, a hostile GTC Fenris-class cruiser (NTC Maelstrom) comes from the nearby jump node.
You receive order to neutralize its forward beam turret. Approach on the cruiser only when all the bombers are down. The forward beam is to be taken down first. Fire your lasers and warheads continously, a GTC Fenris-class will fall apart in no seconds. Just try to avoid its anti-fighter beam cannons. After the Maelstrom is destroyed, you only have to take care of the fighters. Upon the arrival of the GTVA Colossus, you are free to leave.
Notable ships present
- GTVA Colossus
- NTC Maelstorm
