Thunderbolt
Rear Admiral
Hey folks
I'm just gonna point out something I found out by mistake in the Hakaga strike mission in Episode 4. I'm not sure if other people have found this but to make it almost impossible (if you like a real challenge) that in mission 1 you need to clear the first nav point and then eject or destroy no capital ships at nav point 2. Then in the next mission against the Hakaga you should have to fight through a destroyer and 2 frigates at the first nav point. But you can just kill the kilrathi fighters and autopilot to skip past the blockade. Once you reach the Super carrier and 2 Snakiers you will also now have to face 1 destroyer and 2 frigates.
I found that pathway by mistake and it seems to be almost impossible to win so if you like a real hard challenge give it a go. You tend to lose fighters and waste afterburn fuel and/or torpedoes at Nav 1 so by the time you reach the Hakaga it is a serious challenge to stay alive especially because that Kilrathi have an extra destroyer and 2 frigates that fill your ship with flak. If I'm in a Rapier I might rarely be lucky enough to escape otherwise in a Crossbow I usually have to end up ejecting because every confed fighter gets destroyed and I'm solo against 30 kilrathi fighters with no torpedoes or anything.
