I have half my hull and half my shields at the start of this mission... I am trying to kill many nomads for their shield batts and nanos, I did manage to destroy one weapons platform by sneaking between two pillars on the underside and shooting up. I'm hoping to take them out before the generators.

Should I just go for the generators?

Many times I blow up 2 seconds after starting this level because my shields andhull are so low. I think I'm screwed.

In the womb, we are all blind cave fish...

Ignore the Nomad ships, they are too strong for you to go toe-to-toe with. Just make a run to the generators and use them for cover while you destroy them.

Once inside the sphere engage your cruise engines, go to a shield generator on the far side of the city, this will give your wingmen time to engage the nomads, and give you some breathing room. On top of each generator are 2 tower type structures, plant yourself between these and start dumping every torpedo/mine/weapon you have into the generator. The structures will shield you from the platforms, and also give you partial cover from any ships that try to target you. Then just repeat.

This mission took me 2 tries. To win, I just attacked the hell out of the platforms, while killing those damn ships as i needed batts or bots. I fought the ships toe-to-toe the whole time. I killed three waves of them myself. All of those batts and bots really help you last longer.

hy, wait and run when they send u to the genrators speed up whithout fighting,
if u see the generators cruis it up then u find a "corner " to hide. cruis speed 1 or 0, look for the generators -- kill it, and move on to the next. best way, good luck, fly into th blue shimmering light, after u get in u see some little place i called corner,

A good way I found to complete this mission (took 3 attempts) was to attack the weapons platforms first by getting in close and underneath them, and whenever Nomad fighters appear engage and destroy them (they drop plenty of batteries) and this way I could always recharge shields etc - once the fighters were clear, head back and blow up the platforms, then the generator at leisure - usually took about 3 or 4 waves of fighters to kill before I could finish off a generator.

One thing I noticed in the game is that wingmen seem to be invincible, so never worry if they get hit or not.

Very addictive game, yet annoying how you HAD to follow the plot in order to progress and explore being couped up in only a few systems at a time. Gonna have to try the multiplayer angle now
