Another problem on this map involves resource collecting. There are two large patches near your mothership (one to the "north" and one to the "southeast"), but if you don't follow the dust-cloud paths, you'll take damage. Construct three repair corvettes, and assign them with your resource collector and controller group. Move the entire group to the resource patch to the southeast of the mothership position. Your resource ships and repair corvettes will take damage as you move to the resource spot. The collector and controller can make it intact, so just keep them moving. The repair corvettes, though, need to stop and repair each other about halfway. Have each repair corvette repair another. Once you're healthy, resume your course to the resource patch and repair the collector and controller. You'll need to repeat this process each time you move this group through radiated space and to further resource spots.
Take your capital-ship group and move it down the dust-cloud path that leads to the research station. You'll notice four red dots ahead of you, as well as a resource patch. The first red dot is a squad of Taiidan strike craft and corvettes. Annihilate them with your capital-ship group. Repair any damage with support frigates.
Grab about ten interceptors and assign them to a single group. Move them past your capital-ship group, to the next red dot. This is the first minelayer corvette. Set tactics to evasive and attack the corvette. You may notice some of the small mines tracking your interceptors, but if you keep your interceptors on evasive, they should dodge most of the mines. Once the minelayer corvette is destroyed, move your interceptors immediately to the next red dot, another minelayer.
Destroy it as well, using the same tactics, and move to the third, past the resource patch along this path. As you're destroying this third and final minelayer corvette, you may notice two enemy destroyers and one heavy cruiser investigating the situation. Concentrate firepower on the minelayer corvette, and don't worry if the interceptors are destroyed.
