In this mission, you're charged with fending off a Kilrathi attack on the Midway. Fortunately, the attacking ships are only fighters, and so the Midway is able to offer ample support. The Kilrathi seem well aware of the Midway's gunners' abilities, and so you can use that to your advantage when fighting near the large ship. The Kilrathi are going to want to keep their distance, so that limits their choices somewhat when it comes evasive maneuvers. If a Kilrathi fighter is near the Midway, any evasive maneuvers are almost invariably away from your carrier — with that foreknowledge, you can often anticipate a Kilrathi's turn and already be leading him with your targeting reticle.

FIGHTER MELEE TECHNIQUES
CAPITAL SHIP DEFENSE TECHNIQUES
The encounters of the Level 6 simulator 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 the larger vessels.
