Mission Overview
----------------

* Destroy Scorpio
* Destroy Leo
* Protect Convoy
* Destroy Gibborim Beams
* Destroy Taurus
* Destroy Aries
* Destroy Virgo

If you have troubles completing this mission successfully, don't be too shy to call in Theta wing. They don't solve a lot of problems, but they do take some of the pressure away. Personally, I found this mission pretty hard ... you can easily stay alive, but it's hard to keep whole convoy in one piece. You have to be extremely fast or you're bound to lose a few ships in the convoy.

Bombers and bombs should be intercepted immediately. If there are multiple bomber wings, assign Theta specifically to a certain wing.
This allows you to occupy yourself with the other, while you know the others are taken care of too.

Try to keep the Nebtuu alive as long as possible, it helps a great deal destroying the warship that was already in the system. Don't make the mistake of attacking the SC too fast! Don't head straight for it once it enters the system (I believe it's 6.5km away). First occupy yourself with the bombers and go after the SC Cain once it becomes a threat.

* Destroy Aries
* Destroy Pisces
* Destroy Virgo

* Destroy Leo
* Destroy Taurus
* Destroy Libra
* Destroy Capricorn
* Destroy Gemini

Assign Delta wing to defend Lambda wing 1 and 2 (once they are in the system). This should provide enough cover for the transports, while you have the time to engage enemies all over the playing field.

Again the same story while escorting capital ships ... concentrate on bombers and the bombs they launch. Fighters are of a lesser priority (but should also be taken out). If you abide this rule, you'll finish the mission in no time!

Mission Overview
----------------

* Destroy Freighters
* Destroy Scorpio
* Destroy Cancer
* Destroy BAAL
* Destroy Virgo
* Destroy Libra

There don't seem to be that many fighters in this mission, so you shouldn't have any troubles taking them all out of commission. This means you also have plenty of time to attack some warships (make sure you adjust your missile loadout to deal with capital ships (dumbfires work just fine)). Don't get cocky though, once you notice that your hull integrity has dropped to a critical level, don't bother about the warships any more (if this happens it will be near the end of the mission)

Once the bomber squadron becomes available to you, let them take out all capital ships while you let one of the fighter wings protect it.

Whatever you do, the GTVA Colossus will always be destroyed. So don't bother about it!

Intercept all bombers and fighters ... but you should especially focus on the bombers and the missiles they fire. Make sure you are able to intercept them in time. Fighters tend to do some damage to capital ships, but they don't carry Cyclops missiles, ... When you are intercepting the bombs, make sure you don't destroy them from close range. An exploding Cyclops at close range can seriously damage your
