With your capital-ship group, attack the Taiidan ion cannon frigates attacking from below. Continue to move your ion cannon frigates forward and target the attack force. It's very important that you use your ion cannon frigates against this frontal assault. You can dish out much more damage with your stolen ion cannon frigates; this frontal assault can't reach your mothership. Make sure your gravity well generator over your mothership is activated. Once all Taiidan fighters are trapped, send strike craft and corvettes against them.
Monitor both of your main attack groups - the capital ships and the ion cannon frigates. Be sure they're always attacking Taiidan forces. Also, send any salvage corvettes you have left against the Taiidan destroyers, missile destroyers, and heavy cruisers.
Clean up these remaining forces, and repair your main attack group with support frigates or repair corvettes. Fleet intelligence announces that additional Taiidan reinforcements have entered through hyperspace. This group appears above and behind your mothership. Make sure your repair corvettes are still on mothership-repair duty and send your entire fleet against these new attackers. Fortunately this force is smaller than the first, but it's still pretty intimidating. Target the Taiidan ion cannon frigates with your own and order your capital ships against the Taiidan versions.
Unfortunately, the Taiidan attack isn't over. After you've cleaned up the second force, a third enters from below. Again, order your fleet to intercept by using the long-range sensor map to maneuver. During this battle with the third attack force, fleet intelligence announces that an unknown force just hyperspaced in above the mothership. You soon discover it's the rebel fleet coming to assist you! Some of the rebel ships maneuver themselves, but some are given to you. Mix them in with your capital-ship group. Clean up the remaining third attack force, then head toward the enemy mothership!
Leave some vessels by your mothership for "just in case" protection. Use any remaining resource units to build additional strike craft and corvettes to protect the mothership.
Concentrate all fire on the Taiidan mothership - you're almost there! |
When you reach the enemy mothership, a few remaining Taiidan capital ships (a group of three heavy cruisers guarded by several support frigates), strike craft, and corvettes will engage in battle. Destroy them first before turning your attention to the enemy mothership. Once you're close to the enemy mothership, order your two main attack groups - the capital ships and the stolen ion cannon frigates - to attack the enemy mothership. As soon as the Taiidan mothership explodes, your journey to the Homeworld is complete.
