ACT 2 - MISSION 25
Fighter squadron: 74th Templars
Description: Partake in the clash of two of humanity's monuments of spacefaring firepower.
Background
With the Earth Alliance's counterattacks repelled, Admiral Ramsey has decided to go for the throat: send the Bastion and Ramayana to destroy the Nemesis while it is dry-docked at Suez Station in high orbit of Earth.
The 74th Templars and 52nd Nomads are to take out long-range Beam Arrays guarding the dry-dock and to rally on the fleet.
Walkthrough
You have Alpha and Beta Wings (default Alves and Banshee fighters). The default load is mostly acceptable: the Alves has the reactor to sustain both the SD-14 and Hastor (both of which in tandem can quickly take down subsystems and bomber formations), and you'll need the Stilettos for ranged subsystem destruction.
You'll start off with disarming the Timoros 96R Beam Array. The subspace distortions may affect your radar but will not affect your targeting.
Order Beta Wing to cover you or Engage the Enemy while Alpha disarms the Array (they can take out the two Beam Cannons while you engage the reactors, order them to destroy the other reactor once they take out the beams).
Rally on the Ramayana's position. Take out the first wave of bombers targeting the Bastion, and... looks like intel dropped the ball, hard.
The Bastion's group is going to get absolutely sandwiched. Rally your wings on bomber intercept while you take down the Aetius's beam arrays.
When the Bastion decides to crash jump, drop everything and follow her out to Neptune. Two Missile Corvettes and bombers will try to finish off the Bastion. Counter the bombers. The Bastion's torpedo arrays will force the Missile Corvettes out. Take the quick break to re-arm (the Support Ship will come in from the Bastion's hangar).
Four cruisers will jump in: divide all of Alpha to take out their Sensors subsystems (consisting of mast antennas). Depending on the Bastion and Corfu, their Plasma Cannons will destroy the closer cruisers.
The Siddartha and Morgaine will come in to take out any of the heavier EA assets in play. Once that's done, jump to the GTD Ctesiphon.
