This mission can be a real battle but fortunately this time you have Maniac for backup. If he decides to help you. You'll probably have to wait for the shuttle to finish before you can move on to the next Nav point. The only time that you are outnumbered is on the way home when you are faced with four Banshees. All that you can do is try to even the numbers as quickly as possible and keep them away from the shuttle. It is also a good time to use your remaining missiles. When you return, head straight to the briefing room not even stopping to save otherwise you'll miss the message from Tolwyn.
Outcome
Success go to Masa 1. Failure you lose.

Mission : Recon/Extraction
Comments : Nightmare tips: These may be the hardest of all missions. Avoid all Banshees. Fly perpendicular to the planet nav for 3.5 bars or 5 mins., then autopilot to planet. Maniac must survive through extraction.Turrets=#1prio rity-use guns on them.

Mission : Tyr 2b
Comments : Encountered a gamebug in this mission.
After eliminating all enemies at complex 3, the shuttle was stuck in air, not moving, and Maniac seemd to have been stuck at complex 2 (he was 60000 klicks away).
Could not complete mission. I tried it even twice with the same bug, guess the game needs a restart once the problem occurs.

Mission : after Tyr 2b
Comments : Admiral Tolwyn's message can only be seen when you are in Flight control and click on the door to the left directly! If you instead enter Briefing room via the map (m), you wont get it! Also you must not save your game before getting the message (so I read, unconfirmed).

Mission : Scientist Extraction/Recon
Comments : "Tap" afterburners to conserve them while taking out ground missile turret 1st. Then take out ace vindicator with a missile. Then take out last fighter with guns. Repeat for each nav.
