Mission 7 - The Gardens of Kadesh
Story: Unfortunately, the evasive hyperjumps carry the fleet into very hostile territory indeed. Yet another mysterious enemy takes offense at your intrusion.
Difficulty: Moderate
Overview: An enemy resembling a hive of bees harasses you to no end while your mothership crew struggles to regain hyperspace-jump capabilities. Surviving the attack for more than ten minutes is "all" you must do.
Fleet: A peaceful beginning lets you assemble the ships you'll need to keep the enemy at bay: five or more frigates and/or destroyers, four or more repair ships, and 30 or so fighters/corvettes.
Objectives
As soon as you harvest a single dust cloud with your resource collector, the mission's events are triggered. Don't rush into harvesting if your fleet is unorganized and unprepared. Take time to assign presets and build new ships before you order your resource collector to harvest the nebula. The mission's sub-missions are as follows:
Harvest Nebula
Don't start to harvest until your fleet is ready for battle. Guard your resource collector with your resource controller, then guard each of them with a repair corvette. Guard all four of these units with any corvettes you have, plus half of your fighters. Now put your capital ships into formation, protect them with repair units, and guard the repair units with the rest of your fighters.
The nebula's effects complicate this mission by rendering the long-range sensor map virtually useless. |
Start harvesting, and soon the enemy will appear and speak with your ambassador. Poor negotiations will prompt the enemy mothership to unleash a few waves of swarmers and fuel pods to attack you. The fuel pods supply the swarmers with fuel; the swarmers don't have a great capacity to stay in battle without refueling. Knocking out fuel pods, then, is your highest priority. The swarmers will have nowhere to return for refueling and will float harmlessly in space.
