Mission Strategy

This is a chaotic strike filled with debris, enemy fighters, and warships flying in all directions. If you are playing on a harder difficulty, the top threat is the Skelters, which can quickly cut you in two if they gang up on you.

Throughout this fight stay in the nearby debris field to avoid catching fire (notably heat-seeking missiles) from the destroyer warships. The SDF Ace Karl Drown arrives after you have weeded out a few of the generic Skelters.

You have plenty of missiles and access to restocks in this battle, so freely use your missiles to take down locked Skelters and destroyer targets.

Once the Skelter defenders are down, the destroyers are easy pickings. Switch to your 50mm weapon and stay at range, pounding the gun decks with fire. Once you’ve unleashed enough damage, the ship will blow.
