Notes
- The secret here is to hit your Wasp's boosters ([B)) os soon os you're out of the tube. Head straight towards the lead missile at full boost, and it'll be right in front of you when your boosters fizzle.
- Enhanced IR missiles blow up CAP Missiles real good. While it may be annoying to use your best missile against a target that doesn't shoot back, those CAP Missiles are moving too fast to count on chasing them down and blasting them individually. Let the IRs do the chasing for you.
- As soon as the missiles are dealt with, you have to turn around and deal with a wing of bombers. (Do what you have to to get clear of the Stingrays - but the bombers are a bigger priority.)
- Once the bombers are dealt with the Aliens, apparently just out of spite, send waves of Mantas and Morays after you. By now you're probably out of missiles. If you're damaged as well, withdraw and let the Vampires take the heat for awhile, and don't hesitate to let the Midway get some close-range turret practice against the Morays. Try to take out the Mantas, though, before they close with the carrier. Their Plasma cannon can hurt the Midway.
Success/Failure
Success go to I3a. / Failure you lose.

Notes
- The first thing to do in this mission is hit your Wasp's boosters and head straight for the Cap Missiles. Target each one in turn firing one of your missiles at each of them. That's the first key threat out of the way...
- After a certain amount of time, you'll see a whole load of new red dots appear on your radar. At this point, focus on nothing except getting those Skate Ts. With 8 of them around, at least one torpedo will almost certainly get launched at Midway. If one does and you think you can get to it in time, try to shoot it down.
- When you're done with the Skates, you can take on the Mantas, then finally the Morays. Use up the rest of your missiles if you feel the need. It'd be a shame to let those Swarmers go to waste.

Comments : An alternate method: Use ordinary thrust to close with the cap missiles. Remove them and the 1st wave. When the bombers appear back at Midway, use your booster; you'll get back in plenty of time to save her.
