Description: A mock operation to steal GTVA cargo to gain the trust of the pirates is underway...

Background

A GTVA supply convoy has been found en route to Luxor Station. Shadow Wing is tasked to destroy the convoy and "procure" the cargo.

However: the freighters and escort are drone mock-ups, but the contents of the convoy are real, in order to force the illusion and gain the pirates and their employers' trust.

Walkthrough

  • Starting ships: Myrmidon, Ulysses, Hercules, Loki.

A recommended craft is the GTF Myrmidon, as you'll need to perform flexible responses throughout this mission.

You'll start with destroying the three freighters and two wings of drone-Loki escorts.

Then the two capture freighters (the Synergy and Equinox) will come in escorted by Hook Wing, while a civilian convoy will come in several kilometers away. Take out the Zeus bombers and Hercules fighters threatening your freighters (you may want to consider hostile Hercules as an equal threat to the bombers, because of the damage massed Hornet missiles will cause).

A hostile Leviathan cruiser will come in to assault the convoy, destroy its main beam turret, and tell your team to ignore it (the Leviathan will not close the range to the convoy to use its other weapons). Help the civilian craft from Medusas, Artemises, and Persei. Spread your wings out and you should cover enough ground, until the GTFF Cypher arrives to scare the heck out of the pirates.

After a short conversation, you can leave.
