Story: In attempting to avoid large enemy bases, the mothership must jump into a volatile asteroid field and defend itself until its hyperspace-jump capabilities recharge. Difficulty: Easy Overview: This mission involves no enemies, apart from massive flying rocks. Fleet: At least eight capital ships, ten attack bombers, and eight corvettes will do the trick, with no casualties. A support frigate or a few repair corvettes are a nice addition. Objectives Though this mission begins immediately, you will have a few moments to organize yourself before the asteroids reach the mothership. Take that time to assign presets to two capital-ship groups (if you haven't already) as well as to any attack bombers, corvettes, and repair corvettes you've constructed. This mission's sub-missions are: Protect the Mothership Split your capital ships into two groups, to the left and right of the mothership. Send your bombers and corvettes out of the path of the asteroids, so you can bring them in from the side. Put your corvettes in sphere formation. Protect your mothership with repair units (remember not to use G for guard, but Z for special function). Keep all other small ships inside the mothership.
During the mission, you may have some success harvesting some of the pieces that are floating away. Periodically check on your resource collector and set it to harvest. Occasionally there will be nothing to harvest, but sometimes the collector will find small rocks to grab. The next mission starts calmly, so there is no need to organize your fleet here. A Bentusi trade ship arrives as this mission ends and offers to sell you drone technology. Accept the deal. |
