A Waiting Game

Background

Alpha Wing has to do a simple convoy escort mission, and as much as they don't enjoy it, they have a job to do.

Walkthrough

• Available ships: Ulysses, Hercules, Hercules Mark Two, Loki, Perseus.
• Available weapons: HL-7, SDG, Prometheus R/S, Maxim, Circe, Lamprey. Rockeye, Tempest, Harpoon, Hornet, Tornado.

You're going to do a few convoy escort runs in a small amount of space, so don't fret. Take any ship you feel is comfortable for escort duty. You still have the same story-immune Alpha Wing.

You're going to relieve Delta Wing (three Serapis fighters). Then the first group will jump out.

Listen to the entertaining dialogue for a bit, then two Vasudan transports will show up. Just escort them for this leg of the journey. Then head back to where those ships came from. Three more Vasudan transports will show up, but they have been tailed by Shivans. And they were right.

Just take on some Manticores, Basilisks, Nahemas and Seraphims and just do that as long as the Vasudans don't die.

Then a pirate cruiser will show up, and the crew's moving out of the system too, so just keep dealing with the Shivans, the cruiser is an Aeolus and can defend itself for a bit.

And a Rakshasha will come in. Lt. Mackie will call for fire support, and the GVD Kephrem is called to assist. Deal with any more Shivans still in the area, and the Kephrem will do the rest. After that, return to base.
