Bryan,
The way I did it is to go to the very bottom of the base, then take out the generators, then hit f3, you go to a cut scene where one of the men gets killed.
Your right it's a pain, and it only gets harder trust me!!

I keep getting trounced on this one as well. I tried flying up through the hole in the bottom and docking. Denied. Must have to destroy the Shield Generators first. No success at all doing that. Managed to trash one, but then got anihalated. Even blew up the Rheinland BB once, but got splattered afterwords.

I would imagine that I have to just keep trying, but can somone confirm that you have to blow up the Shield Generators and then dock? I just want to be sure that I am not missing something basic. Assuming that blowing the SG'd is what is needed, is coming up from underneath a good idea? I tried this once and my shots and torps did not seem to be making contact with them. I moven farther up the tunnel to get a better angle and was sundenly plastered. Full Shield/Hull to GONE faster than I could do anything.

Use the shields to keep most of the fire off you.

Don't waste any time shooting at the fighters or BB. Go right to the shields and get in as close as possible, then set speed to 0 and fire at will. Use the "afterburner" to move, it will use less energy than your main thruster.

You'll need every shield battery you can carry and it would help to max out your most potent missiles.

Yep, you have to destroy every shield generator to knock the snow globe down.

Then, you just fly straight into whatever hole open up. Not sure, but you may not even have to "dock".

load up on torpedoes, best you can carry and loads of mines too, helps destroy the shield generators faster and keeps some of those pesky fighters off you...

But you DO have to destroy all 4 generators before you can dock
