Mission 03 - Escorts Transports to Willard Station

Tue Mar 18, 2003 4:16 pm by Cerberus20

Well I have tried this mission about 30 times now and I still can't get those transports throught. I have a defender heavy fighter with full turrets, guns and missiles. I have tried staying behind the transports and with them but with the same results. Can anybody give me an idea of how to go about beating this on. Thx

Duck and weave to keep yourself clear, but specifically look for the fighters that are attacking the transports, they are your prime priority. Hit them hard and fast, then pick off the skirmishers after the transport attackers are down.

I found a simpler way: As soon as you see the first hostile ships on your scanner, you break formation, fly about 40° to the right and kill the three inbound bogeys - they just continue on a direct course towards the freighters and completely ignore you. Kill them on their approach, then turn your attention towards other fighters.

I found about 10 shield batteries and a quick finger on the "f" key to be a requirement for embarking on this mission - a heavy fighter with superior firepower (e.g. a Defender) is a welcome addition.
