ACT 3 MISSION 2
Fighter squadron:
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 really tough. The strategy is very simple though. GO AFTER THE NEPHILM BOMBERS. OR GO AFTER THE SHAITANS IF THERE ARE NO NEPHILMS IN THE AREA. Got it? Okay. The Hope will jump in pretty soon after you jump in. It will be at 36% hull integrity. 3 Nephilm bombers will jump in at nearly the same time as the Hope. Then 5 Nephilm bombers will jump in to entertain you. 2 more will attack once the rest are down. Time for a change in pace. The Isis Repair should be here by now. 1 Dragon will jump in. Then 2 Shaitans accompanied by 2 Manticores will attack the Hope. Then the Lightning (Cain) will jump in. You will be suprised how quickly it goes down if you order everyone to attack it. Then the Thunder (Cain) will jump in with 2 Manticores as an escort. The Mecross will jump in to help you. 3 more Dragon class fighters will attack you now. 2 rounds of 4 Nephilm and 2 Scorpions will finally test you. Now the Vasudan reinforcements should arrive and you should be done. That was a little intense, wasn't it?
