The Shivans don't let up, though - just assume that another wing of 4 fighters and another wing of 3-4 bombers jumps in every single time you take one wing out and you're pretty much correct. Several Trebuchets later, three Nephilims from Cancer make their play a pair of Trebs and some Kayser fire polish off these guys. Standing by to receive transports.Īfter Aries goes down, Virgo (4 Maras) and Pisces (4 Nahemas) jump in just when the GTD Messana also jumps in, ready to recieve the Lambda transports passengers. You never know when you'll get swarmed by multiple wings at once and not have time for a rearm. You will be reloading like a Chicago voting machine here have it pacing you and rearm every time you empty one bank, if not more often. I believe I ended up firing 83 Trebuchets this mission. After that, Lambda 2 will be deployed and do much the same thing, only it docks faster (presumably, fewer passengers) and it stays docked to the Messana as the latter jumps out.Īs an aside, if you don't have the support ship constantly pacing you, you're doing something wrong. You've got Lambda 1 incoming it takes about thirty seconds after it docks with the station to load its passengers, then it has to head out to the Messana, dock there, and then jump out. We have transferred the injured to the GTM Galen. Evacuation of non-essential personnel complete. Just get in range and start blasting them.ģrd Fleet HQ: We have sustained minor damage. Though they are no particular threat to the rather large station, it's in your best interests to take them out before they get friends who can do more damage. Upon our arrival, six Manticore fighters are attacking the station. You'll be volleying a lot of dual Trebuchets at bombers, because when you have 10 Shivan fighters and bombers you need to kill rapidly who are also 4 kilometers apart from one another, well, guns don't reach out that far.ģrd Fleet HQ is the Arcadia station dead ahead, with the GTM Galen medical ship to the left. Seriously - this mission, as I've said, is the rapid intercept of almost 60 Shivan craft. Except the mission where they don't give you enough Trebuchets I'm sure you can guess what I'll be flying and carrying, because I flew it in the last mission, and will be flying it in every mission hereafter. And not just the bombers - two wings of fighters have the obnoxious habit of destroying the Lambda transports as they attempt to move between 3rd Fleet HQ and the Messana (which is standing some distance off, presumably in case 3HQ blows prematurely. This is basically a non-stop rush to take out more or less every single Shivan as soon as possible. Total enemy craft faced: ~58 (Depending on how fast and whether you fail to protect the transports, a Ravana-class destroyer might jump in, so 58-59) Total Shivan bombers during this mission: 30 Total Shivan fighters during this mission: 28 However, a few numbers might interest you: With the evacuation of Headquarters, the Alliance is preparing to initiate the final phase of its plan to hold the Shivans in Capella.ĭunkerque really isn't that plot-heavy a mission. We have already extracted non-essential personnel, so the operation should proceed quickly. Once evacuated, the installation will be destroyed. You must protect the installation, the Messana, and the two transports. You will take Alpha and Delta wings and provide fighter cover for this operation. The injured have already been transferred to the medical vessel GTM Galen.Īfter Lambda 2 has docked with the Orion, the Messana will leave the system, and you will be authorized to return to base. Command will deploy a second transport to extract the remaining personnel on board the installation. Personnel will then board the Argo, which will take them to the GTD Messana. Lambda 1, an Argo-class transport, will dock with the installation. The 19th squadron, assigned to defend headquarters, has been wiped out. The Shivans are deploying their wings from the SD Nebiros, a Ravana-class destroyer. The installation has come under heavy fighter and bomber attack. At 2345 hours, Allied Command authorized the immediate evacuation of 3rd Fleet Headquarters in the Capella system.
