ACT 3, MISSION 2
Fighter squadron: 203rd Scorpions
Description: Help destroy the Santhanas
Background
Following Alpha's disarming of at least two of the Sathanas' main guns, the Sathanas entered Capella to be confronted by the GTVA Colossus. If the Sathanas still has at least one main turret operational after Bearbaiting, the Sathanas also decimated an allied fleet near the Capella node.
Walkthrough
(Can't chose weapon loadout or ship selection)
Default: GVB Bakha, 1 GTW Mekhu HL-7, 1 [GTW Akheton SDG]], 1 bank of GTM Helios, 1 bank of GTM Trebuchet
This can be the easiest mission in the whole game if you performed well in the previous mission. If not, you still have work to do because the Sathanas can take out the Colossus even with one beam turret operational. Fortunately, due to differences in timing, FPS, maneuvering, etc., the Colossus is usually safe once you're down to one turret. If the flak guns are still operational you may want to order your wingmen to take them out for you.
The Basilisks can be really annoying, but you can usually take several out with Trebuchets at long range before you engage the Sathanas. Fortunately, there are only eight of them, as opposed to the multitude in Bearbaiting, so when the second wave arrives, just order your wingmen to cover you. If you've gotten all four turrets, of course, feel free to take them out yourself to get credit for the extra kills.
You can ensure you get the kill for the Sathanas by making sure you inflict more damage on it than any of your wingmen. If your wingmen are busy with the Basilisks or if you've ordered them to depart, this should be pretty easy. After a 10 minute exchange of beam fire, the Sathanas throws in the sponge.
KR's Notes : This mission gives you buttwhooping 10K points if you manage to get the Sathanas kill. I found that for some reason, if you order your wingmen to ignore the sathanas, so will the Colossus... So don't do that... just tell them to engage enemy (C-3-9). Your gonna have to do alot of Shift-R to get the kill. I found that the best spot to kill it is the fighterbay... But for some reason, the fighter bay did some small explosion, as if it were disabled, and then the basilisks stopped popping... But couldn't complete objectives because of that... In any other case, just disable flaks and AAA turrets so they don't annoy you, and start camping at the subsystems aronund the ship. Oh , don't stay near the engines, the engine washes are gonna annoy you big time.
