NAV 1 2 Darket NAV 3 2 Darket

Notes

• This mission is just a simple one for you to get the hang of things, although hopefully you've already done that in the simulator.
• You have plenty of missiles, and a great wingman to back you up. You shouldn't have any trouble here so just go with the flow.

Success / Failure go to Orsini 2.

NAV 2 2 Darket NAV 3 2 Darket 1 Transport

Notes

• Although this mission is much the same as the previous one, it gives you an opportunity to try a different ship and wingman. You can also practice taking out large ships with that transport.
• The transport is an optional objective. You can autopilot as soon as the Darkets are destroyed and still complete the mission successfully, but that would be a waste. If you don't want to attack, your wingman can take it out quickly if given the chance.

BETWEEN NAV 1 AND 2 2 Darket 1 Dralthi NAV 2 2 Darket 1 Corvette NAV 3 Wave 1 2 Darket Wave 2 2 Darket

Notes

• At last, a mission with teeth. You not only have to defend yourself, but also a transport. Not only that, but against 9 fighters and a corvette too.
• When you first launch, you won't be able to autopilot until you fly within 1000 klicks of the transport. This is common practice for escort missions throughout the game.
• Watch out for the corvette. It is more deadly than it looks since the turrets are quite accurate, and the rear turret packs a huge punch. Take it on from the side where the turrets will have more difficulty aiming at you.
• When you reach the jump point at Nav 3, you won't be able to autopilot until the transport has jumped out. This may mean waiting around for a minute or two.

Success / Failure go to Orsini 4.

Wingmen Choices (if alive/obtained)	Hobbes, Vagabond, Vaquero, Maniac, Cobra, Flint
Other Friendly Ships	Transport at Nav 1
NAV 1 Wave 1 4 Darket Wave 2 2 Dralthi BETWEEN NAV 1 AND 2 2 Dralthi 1 Corvette NAV 3 2 Darket (If you fail mission) Between NAV 3 and Victory 2 Dralthi 2 Corvette

Notes

• When you first see the the transport, it is under attack. Afterburn immediately towards the Kilrathi and taunt them to draw their fire.
• Shortly after reaching the corvette, it launches a skipper missile which appears as a yellow dot on your radar when it is uncloaked. When you spot it, press T until it is targeted and then afterburn after it. Make sure it gets destroyed.
• Once the Skipper is destroyed, the transport is relatively safe. Just carry on with the fighter waves and you'll be fine.
• If the Skipper destroys the transport, you'll face another wave of 2 fighters and 2 corvettes. Just take out the Dralthi and autopilot on. It is pointless worrying about the corvettes when you have already failed.

Success / Failure go to Tamayo 1.

Mission : Orsini 4- Skipper missile
Comments : Keep an eye on your target screen for a yellow dot over the orange corvette dot while cycling targets frequently. When you target the skipper send your wingman after it and yourself too. Flint took it out before me.Focus100%ofTheTimeOnTh e Skipper
