ACT 2 MISSION 1

Fighter squadron:
Description:


Background

The survivors of the Tombaugh attack must be evacuated from the Ribos system immediately. We do not have sufficient firepower to retake Ribos at this time. Your wing's objective will be to escort the Iota transports.

Other wings will be accompanying this convoy. Alpha wing will be in charge of this operation and will have command authority.

The convoy must reach the designated check point. Escort from this point onward will be provided by allied Vasudan forces, led by the PVD Pinnacle.

Hostile forces have been spotted all over this system, and there is a good chance that our convoy will be attacked by Shivan forces.

All hostile forces should be eliminated.

The PVD Pinnacle will be arriving at the designated check point. This Typhon class Destroyer has one of the most skilled crews in the PVE. It will escort the refugees for the remainder of the journey.

Help the Pinnacle until it has dismissed you, then return to base. Many lives depend on this mission. Good luck.


Walkthrough

You will like the Interceptor a lot, I guarantee it. At first your wingmen will chat. Around 1:30 into the mission the GTFR Nelson will startle you and jump in. Quickly press {c} then {1} then {Page Down} then {5} then {3}. This will order the Nelson to depart, in turn allowing you to destroy Vishnu wing who would have jumped out after quickly destroying the Nelson. After that many wings of Shivan fighters and bombers will jump in and attack. There will be lots of them so just pick them off, one by one, going after the bombers first. Before you know it, you'll be done or the Pinnacle will jump in. If there are any leftover Shivans when the Pinnacle jumps in, they will jump out and make you fail some directives. Once the Pinnacle has arrived, two wings of Basilisks will attack. They are easy, just kill them and jump out.
