Briefing. Due to our successful defense of the Luyten outpost, we will be able to strike the alien cruiser. This is the first of three alien capital ships believed to be in this system. After the failed alien attack on Luyten station, Cruiser defenses should be relatively light. Fighters and bombers from Luyten station will add additional firepower to this effort and to our continued movement through the system.

Alien Forces
NAV 1 - 7 Moray

3 Manta

5 Stingray

NAV 2 - 1 Hydra

11 Moray

5 Stingray

4 Manta

 

Notes

  • The Hydra at NAV 2 will start launching capship missiles at the station after about a minute, so that is all the time you have to take out the Stingrays.
  • When there are no capship missiles in the area, position yourself between the station and the Hydra, and watch your radar all the time.
  • Use your NAV map to target the capship missiles. You can't afford to waste time cycling through targets.

Success/Failure

Success go to E4a. Failure go to E4b
