Description:
Background
- The PVD Hope is leaving the Antares system after an intense battle. It has sustained moderate damage and will be jumping to the Beta Aquilae system.
- We are sending two wings to help cover the Hope while it is being repaired. The Vasudans are sending their own fighters to stand guard over the Hope, but it will be some time before they arrive.
- The Hope should be in the system when you arrive. We do not believe the Shivans have enough forces in the system to mount a serious attack, but their strategies are difficult to predict.
Walkthrough
Don't be fooled by the number of directives in this mission, this is a relatively tough one. The strategy is very simple though. Focus on the Nephilim or Shaitan bombers. This is your number one priority. The Hope will jump in pretty soon after you jump in. It will be at 36% hull integrity. Three Nephilim bombers will jump in at nearly the same time as the Hope. After just a short time five more Nephilim bombers will jump in to entertain you. Two more will attack once the rest are down. Time for a change in pace.
The Isis Repair should have arrived by now. One single Dragon will jump in, shortly followed by two Shaitans accompanied by two Manticores attacking the Hope. Soon the Cain class Lightning will arrive. You will be suprised how quickly it goes down if you order everyone to attack it. Then the Cain class Thunder will jump in with two Manticores as escort. After a short while te Mecross will arrive to aid you. A wing of three Dragon class fighters will attack after this. Two rounds of four Nephilim and two Scorpions will finally test you. The Vasudan reinforcements should arrive after this and you should be alright.
That was a little intense, wasn't it?
Notes
Don't hang around waiting for the Hope to be fully repaired. She won't. Further, if you're in luck, you can see the Isis Repair appearing at the opposite side of the Hope and you'll have the pleasure of watching the reefer crazed Isis pilot commit suicide against the hull of the Hope. It'll take a long time, but with serious time compression and strong drink, this can be fun to watch.
