Mission 11 - Tenhauser Gate
Story: After the destruction of the Taiidan research station and the escape from the supernova, the fleet comes out of hyperspace upon hearing a communication from the Bentusi. A small Taiidan fleet has engaged the Bentusi mothership, and you offer assistance.
Difficulty: Easy
Overview: This is one of the easiest missions thus far. You simply save the Bentusi mothership from attack. Once you squelch the Taiidan attack, the Bentusi share information about your history and your Homeworld.
Fleet: This mission begins quickly, so you should construct and organize your fleet at the end of the previous mission. You'll need eight to ten capital ships and a squadron of interceptors and attack bombers to attack the Taiidan fleet. You should also assemble a group of about eight salvage corvettes in an attempt to capture the Taiidan heavy cruiser.
Objectives
The Bentusi mothership is durable, but you can't hesitate too much if you want to save your allies. Press the E key to select your entire fleet, and move the fleet to the Bentusi position. As your ships move, organize them into presets and formations. This mission's sub-missions are:
Destroy the Taiidan Fleet
Seconds after you enter the area, you'll witness a cutscene of the Bentusi mothership under attack from several Taiidan capital ships, including a heavy cruiser, three destroyers, and several ion cannon frigates. If you haven't already, organize your fleet in strike craft, corvette, and capital-ship groups. Also, assemble a group of at least eight salvage corvettes, and assign them their own group number. Consider constructing a support frigate, and assign it to heal your capital-ship group.
Send your entire fleet to rescue the Bentusi trade ship. Don't forget the salvage corvettes! |
Once you're ready, begin moving each set of craft (strike, corvette, capital ship) toward the Bentusi mothership and the surrounding Taiidan attackers. Move the salvage corvettes toward the Bentusi mothership, but not too close to the enemy capital ships. If you bring in the salvage group too soon, the Taiidan capital ships target and destroy the vessels. Your main salvage target should be the heavy cruiser. Wait until it's the only capital ship left so you won't face additional opposition that might destroy your salvage corvettes.
