Level 9: Advanced Alien Fighter Gauntlet

• 10-Minute Time Limit
• Fighter Melee Techniques
• Alien Capital Ships
• Alien Combat Techniques

This is a much harder "arcade"-style scenario. Same 10-minute limit; eliminate as many Aliens as you can. This time, however, the Alien force is a destroyer and up to 9 random fighter escorts (including corvettes). You get to choose as many wingmen as you want from up to 8 friendly fighters (including a Vaktoth). And again, a new wave of fighters appears when you kill off the previous wave. Furthermore, each time a destroyer is killed another one jumps in — up to a six times. The designers believe that six cap ship kills is impossible given the odds (three is doing really well). Feel free to take that as a challenge.

Wingmen

You are Alpha 1; you get as many of the following wingmen as you care to bring along:
