1. How do I go down to Kilrah to deploy the Temblor Bomb? I seem to face infinite waves of enemy fighters!

You have to activate the cloacking device (ctrl-c) before the last nav point in order to reach Kilrahi. Before you enter in the autopilot to this navpoint, in the nav notes on the nav screen (N) you will find a note: "activate the cloack before entering, laddie".
