Mission 10 - Super Nova Station
Story: The fleet decides to take a short detour on its way to Homeworld. Sensors detect a Taiidan research station. Plans are to engage its defenses and take down the station, crippling Taiidan technology.
Difficulty: Moderate
Overview: An epic mission, Super Nova Station requires careful and precise ship movement, patient resource gathering, and some crafty salvage skills.
Fleet: You have plenty of time to construct and organize your fleet before the attack. You'll need eight to ten capital ships (destroyers, multibeam frigates, assault frigates, ion cannon frigates, ion cannon arrays, missile destroyers, etc), eight to ten corvettes, and 10-20 scouts and interceptors. Further, you should have some salvage corvettes left from the previous mission. Make sure you have at least 15.
Objectives
This is one of the longest missions you'll face, so there's no reason to rush into it. Organize your fleet and spend some of your resource units to build your fleet up to the recommendations. The sub-missions are:
Use the long-range sensor map, and follow the path of dust clouds to stay out of radiated space. |
Destroy the Research Station
Fleet intelligence displays the location of the Taiidan research station on the long-range sensor map. As you deploy and organize your fleet, fleet intelligence lists two more important mission details.
The first is that the Taiidans are using minelayer corvettes to mine the path to the research station. The second is a description of that path. The supernova in the vicinity heavily radiates the map's space. If you don't stick within the dust-cloud "paths," your ships will continue to take damage until they're eventually destroyed. Strike craft and corvettes are affected the most; capital ships can take plenty of punishment, but you shouldn't stay out in open, radiated space for very long.
