Any enemy fighters that maneuver past your fighters and reach the mothership will encounter your corvette group. Mopping up should be an easy task. As soon as you can, select your fighter group and hit D to dock them for repairs and refueling. Defend the Mothership What won't be as easy is defending your fleet against the final wave of enemies. This third wave comes on the heels of the second, which is why building corvettes before you salvage the recording is so important.
Select your heavy-corvette group and face the incoming enemies. Target them in their little groups, and keep advancing - don't worry if a few enemies slip past your corvettes. Make your way up the incoming column of enemy ships until you see the enemy carrier looming in the distance. Seek out the enemy carrier. Your corvettes are hardy enough to take a lot of abuse from these particular enemies, and as long as your repair corvette is properly guarding them, just pound away at the enemy carrier. Don't worry about killing enemy fighters and missile ships, as each one will be re-created by the enemy carrier instantly. Focus instead on convincing the enemy carrier to retreat. Once the enemy carrier has taken a pile of abuse, it will hyperspace-jump from the scene. It's time to go back home and warn Kharak of this new threat. Before you leave, however, build another repair corvette and another salvage corvette. Designate four groups using the Ctrl and number keys: fighters, corvettes, repair corvettes, and salvage corvettes. This will prepare you for mission three. Take the time after you've run off the enemy carrier to make these preparations. The action in the next mission begins quickly. |
