Level 6: Capital Ship Sweep

  • 10-Minute Basic Time Limit (Plus Bonus Time)
  • Fighter Melee Techniques
  • Capital Ship Attack Techniques
  • Operating Within Time Parameters

The encounters of this mission are a series of melees with Kilrathi fighters, each joined in the area around a corvette. As before, make sure that you don't get baited into dogfighting near the larger ship, and save those missiles to quickly take down the corvette's shields when it comes time to make attack runs on it.

You don't have to attack the corvettes, but each one you eliminate adds 20 seconds to the mission clock. The greater the time bonus, the more fighters that appear, the more you take out, the higher your score!
