Notes

• There isn't a huge number of enemies in this mission, but the ultimate objective is the carrier at the end. With that in mind, be careful taking on the corvette at the first Nav point.
• A lot of Strakhas in this one. Don't forget your missiles don't work too well against them if they keep cloaking.
• If you elected to fly a Longbow, you can take down the carrier with torpedoes. In a fighter, it is better to fly inside the enemy carrier and sit there firing away until it blows up. If you take down the carrier first, you won't have to face the extra waves of fighters.
• Remember if even one Kilrathi ship survives, the mission will fail.

• Success go to Ariel 2.
• Failure go to Delius 1.

Notes

• This is one mean mission. Large amounts of fighters, some heavy duty capships, and to top it all you have to fight in a nebula.
• Make sure you pick a wingman who is likely to obey orders. Chances are the first thing your wingman will do is go after the destroyer at the first Nav point and get blown up so keep telling your wingman to attack another target while you take out the destroyer. You really need a wingman for this mission, yet you need to take out both destroyers in the mission quickly so that you don't have to face the extra fighter waves.
• I advise you to take a Thunderbolt for this mission. The last thing you want to be doing is battling fighters in a bomber.

• Success go to Ariel 3.
• Failure go to Delius 1.

HALFWAY TO NAV 1 2 Darket 2 Paktahn NAV 1 Wave 1 1 Carrier 2 Strakha Wave 2 2 Darket Wave 2 2 Darket Wave 2 2 Darket NAV 2 1 Corvette 4 Strakha

Notes

• This mission is much easier than the previous one, but the real challenge is at the last Nav point.
• Before you reach Nav 1, you will be attacked. Nail the Paktahns before they can attack the Victory before mopping up the Darkets.
• The Kilrathi have closed the jump point at Nav 1. Just take out all of the fighters and move on.
• You need to keep your eye on your radar here, because the Corvette launches a skipper missile at the Victory. As soon as you see a yellow dot on your radar, try to target it. If you can't then that yellow dot is just a missile, but as soon as you target the skipper, afterburn towards it and do everything possible to destroy it.

Success go to Caliban 1. Failure you lose.

Comments : NOTE: Original WC3 (don't remember if true for KS version), try to get clearance to land after the carrier. You usually can, so if you're unsure about your Skipper killing skills, you can just land with a successful mission.

Comments : Take the Longbown. Just dont try to play "catch me" with the enemy. Be patient. wait until you have a good chance and fire both your guns and one missile. Pick Maniac as wing. He is so crazy that will fly the Longbown just as an Arrow. Attack the destroyer as soon as possible with torpedos.

Comments : It is possible to destroy the corvetter before it launches the skipper. Take a Thunderbolt, hit your burners as soon as you come out of autopilot, heading towards the corvetter, and launch your topredo (which you should have saved) at about 2000 m. This usually kills the corvette before it launches the skipper.
