Notes
- Don't worry about laying your mines in a careful pattern - it doesn't make a difference.
- Watch the tricky Alien Skates: they break up into individual light fighters when damaged.
- Use guns to break apart the Skate clusters, and save your missiles for the agile spawn-ships.
- Use your main guns against the Skate clusters, and rely on bravo wing and your turrets against the agile spawn-ships.
Success/Failure
Success/Failure go to DL2.
WC:CIC Game Guide
Notes
- This losing path mission is the first opportunity to fly a Shrike bomber. Slow turning, but plenty of fire power. For now just concern yourself with dropping mines and destroying attackers. You have no use for its torpedoes just yet. Press M key until your mines are selected, and hit enter to drop one. Keep pressing enter until you have none left.
- Use your missiles against the Mantas and your guns against the slow Skate clusters. You can either use missiles against the Skate segments or let Bravo wing handle them.
- Wait until you hear "mission accomplished" before autopiloting back to the carrier. If in doubt press Ctrl-O and see which objective hasn't been completed.
