When you reach the Krants, they'll go for the Formidable. Fire a missile at one of the Krants to keep it busy for a while, then go after another. Your speed avantage really counts here. Be careful not to go too fast and ram something.
Outcome
Success go to Venice 1. Failure go to Rostov.

Comments : This is sorta a cheese, but if memory serves me correctly, you can decide to fly towards Nav 2 first, take out the 4 Krants, and then fly towards Nav 1 to pick up the Formidable. On the way back, you'd have less to worry about.

Comments : Something I noticed that may help with this one...position yourself away from the Ralari, and you will reach the Jalthi easier. Otherwise, the Cats get free shots on the Ralari if your close to the ship, and there's nothing you can do about it.

Comments : Goto the Ralari then turn around, afterburn and autopilot back to the claw. Then autopilot back to the Ralari and when you get there it has gone and now appears on your nav map next to the claw safe from harm. Blow up the Kilrathi then go home.

Comments : Consider ordering Bossman to keep formation in the scrap against the Salthi. This will make him save all of his missiles to the real battle later on.

Comments : At NAV1 order Bossman to Break&Attack, then identify who attack Ralari, and go at full speed with afterburn and take him out. Ramming is very accurate method to destroy Gratha, but first you have to take her shields out. You must be VERY quick.

Comments : I believe Origin purposefully made this mission near impossible so that the player would be forced to take the losing path on the mission tree once. Otherwise, a"perfect run" only ends up with 16-17 missions instead of 20 as listed on the

Mission : Kurasawa 2
Comments : Afterburner in and take out one Gratha as quickly as possible (5 Neutron Gun Shots + 1 Missile).
Then engage the Gratha which is not in dogfight.
The concept is to keep ALL Gratha busy in three 1-on-1 dogfight.
2 success out of 7 tries using this tactics
