SILENT THREAT MISSION 11

Fighter squadron:
Description:


Background

Reconnaissance reports heavy Shivan traffic through the Beta Aquilae jump node. Our mission: Shut them down.
Your wing will patrol this area and engage any hostiles. Seek and destroy.

Walkthrough

At mission zero there's no presence at the theatre of operations. Momentarily a Shivan convoy will jump in. The convoy consists of a Cain, 8 Manticores and 4 freighters. Initially focus your efforts on eliminating the Manticores. When the fighter wings are eliminated, order all your wingmen to attack the Cain.

Engage and eliminate the freighters while your wingmen are eliminating the Cain. Keep an eye on the Cain's hull integrity; with the Cain eliminated, your wingmen will let loose on the freighters, most likely destroying the cargo in the process. In order to avoid this, order your wingmen to depart immediately after the Cain is eliminated. You can easily eliminate the 4 transports yourself.

Notes

Do absolutely not destroy the cargo. Also, make sure the friendly freighters have secured it before you jump out. That's it.
