ACT 2, MISSION 7

Fighter squadron: N/A

Description: Get the fleet back to the Sopul System.


Background

With multiple Sathanas juggernauts closing in, the Fleetmaster has determined the only way to stop the Shivans is by closing down the Gamma Draconis gate.

However, the fleet will have to make their way back home. The only time they have is between the jump windows of two Sathanas juggernauts...

Walkthrough

You start with two four-ship wings of your choice (default Phylakis). Have some Katos rigged with Nova cannons, you'll need the extra anti-shield punch. The Tylisos has enough maneuverability and turret coverage to keep hostile fighters tied up.

This is an onslaught of multiple fighter and bomber waves. Use the priority targeting keys, and pay attention to any bombers' targets (default J key). Keep the entire fleet intact.

Watch out for any Piranha bombs, and try to not detonate bombs within 500 meters (even the weak bombs will kill you if you're too close).
