ACT 2, MISSION 7

Fighter squadron:203rd Scorpions

Description: Strike on Shivan fuel operation.


Background

The Psamtik launches the 203rd to destroy a Shivan gas mining operation.

Walkthrough

Recommendations: GVF Serapis, 1 GTW Maxim, 1 GTW Prometheus S, 2 banks of GTM Tornado

You have to cruise the nebula searching for gas miners (SSG Rahu-class) and sentries. The miners are the primary goal to take out. I cannot give you any useful advice here, you have to find the miners on your own. All I can suggest you here is to use the GTW Maxim against the miners and the GTM Harpoons against the fighters (if you encounter some of them by chance). You can achieve a secondary goal by destroying the sentries.


The Vasudan AWACS (GVA Setekh-class) can provide you long range sensors. You can take advantage of this, and destroy the miners. After you accomplish the primary goal, the Vasudan GVCv Sobek-class corvette (GVCv Tatenen) falls under attack by Shivan bombers. Rush back to get some kills and when a large Shivan vessel jumps in, hit your thrusters and get out of the firing range of it. You have no chance to defend the Tatenen. Jump out after the Vasudan corvette goes down.

Tips

  • You can order the Sobek to attack the miners. Order all wings to defend the corvette and the mission is a breeze.
  • Your wingmates will disappear very fast with Serapis fighters. Put them in something sturdier, like a Tauret or even a Horus, if you want to get real work out of them.
