Eradicate All Enemy Ships
Recall your resource units to behind your front lines. Send your fighters against the front line of enemy fighters. Don't keep your capital ships in formation, but instead spread them so they attack the enemy's big ships from the front, top, bottom, and even from behind. Moving your capital ships will not cause them to stop firing, so move them at will (vertically, in particular). If possible, when you see the opportunity, bring your salvage corvettes in behind (that's behind!) the enemy's assault frigates, and capture them. When the enemy sends defenders against you, target them with your corvettes.
During the battle, fleet intelligence will announce that there are two enemy resource collectors in the area (they will be marked on the long-range sensor map by a pulsating yellow blip). Locate the enemy resource collectors, and target them with your bombers. Do not recall the bombers until the enemy's collectors are dead. If the enemy collects resources, the enemy will create more waves of fighters. If the enemy's resource collectors are fairly far away from the rest of their fleet, consider sending your salvage corvettes to capture them (instead of destroying them with your bombers).
The enemy fleet in this mission is powerful. Target the carrier with your capital-ship group, and eliminate it before it can generate additional fighters. |
In the end, the enemy will attack you with its two destroyers and its carrier. You cannot capture them, so destroy them (with your capital ships and fighters). You should try to capture the enemy's support frigate with two salvage corvettes, if you can.
Once the enemy is eradicated, resume harvesting until all resources are depleted. Meanwhile, organize your fleet in preparation for the next mission: Create a total of ten attack bombers, eight light/heavy corvettes, and eight capital ships (ion cannon frigates, ion cannon arrays, assault frigates); group the capital ships into two groups; and dock all your small ships inside your mothership, and lock them in there.
