Your next problem is dealing with the mines. The easiest way is to position a destroyer as lead ship in your capital-ship group. Assign at least one support frigate to follow and repair the destroyer if it takes any damage. Move the destroyer along the path, past the spots where you blew apart the minelayer corvettes. You'll notice the mines tracking the destroyer and impacting the hull. Move slowly so you can repair after a few hits.
Move through the resource patch, and make sure you clear the minefields. You can see the mines from a short distance; they appear as small reddish dots. Just move the destroyer into the path. Don't get too close to the enemy destroyers and heavy cruiser, however.
Build some salvage corvettes so you have at least 15, and move them along the dust-cloud path. Reunite your capital-ship group, and any strike craft and corvettes, with the lead destroyer, and hold position in the resource patch. Form three different groups with the 15 salvage corvettes - two groups should contain four salvage corvettes and the third should contain seven. Place them behind your capital-ship fleet.
Move your fleet slowly toward the destroyers and heavy cruisers. Go in first with strike craft and corvettes. Once you see that the Taiidan capital ships are targeting them, move in your salvage groups and use four on each destroyer and seven on the heavy cruiser. Though the destroyer only requires three and the heavy cruiser five, it's best to include more in case any salvage corvettes are destroyed during the process.
The salvage corvettes will automatically take each captured ship back along the dust-cloud path, to the mothership. Once you've captured the ships, return each captured enemy ship to your capital-ship fleet and prepare for the final stages of the mission.
Continue along the dust-cloud path. Switch on the long-range sensor monitor, and make note of how the dust-cloud path wraps around behind the research station. Follow this path and choose your movements carefully. Keep all vessels inside the dust clouds. Use support frigates to repair and refuel the strike craft and corvettes, as well as the capital ships.
