Notes

  • If you have some spare time at NAV 1 and 2, use it to take out the turrets around the capship bridge and engines, especially on the Tritons, to increase chances of a torpedo hit. This counts more on this mission than on the alternative since there are more capships, requiring the use of more torpedos.
  • The Barracudas can seriously hurt Cerberus on this mission so if you keep losing Cerberus, you know what to destroy first on your next attempt.
