When you come out of hyperspace, immediately set your ELS to 0/0
and find target Beta 1. Switch over to Advanced Missiles and fire
as soon as it goes red. Hit target again to go to Beta 2, again,
fire when the targeting box goes red. Continue this for Beta 3,
but switch over to lasers for Beta four, and hit him enough so he
returns to the Warlover. Now find the rest of Beta, use your Advanced
missiles to kill them off quickly. After you kill Beta 8, find and
finish off Beta 4 to bring out the rest of the bombers. Note: you
may want to kill off some interceptors before you head back to make
sure you have enough kills to top 50,000 points.
Now there is one more main threat to the Transports and Cargo
containers, T/A Alpha. There will be two of them when you are heading
back. Find and kill both Alpha 1 and 2 as soon as you can, once
one of them is dead, T/A Alpha three and four will come in with
Advanced Missiles, targeting you. This is where you need your chaff.
When they fire missiles at you, find it and turn your tail towards
it, using chaff to scatter the warhead. If you haven't already done
so, finish off the remainder of Alpha 1 and 2. At this point in
time, I set ELS to 0/50 and move away from the battle, this took
all of the interceptors and the remaining members of Alpha with
me. Keep heading out till the CRS Valorous exits into hyperspace.
When I did it, I killed Alpha 1, 2, and 3, and had 4 follow me around.
At this point, just turn around and finish off the remaining fighters.
You may have to set ELS to 0/0 to get the remainder of Alpha. As
long as there are two containers recovered, and you get around twenty
kills, you will a nice Blue ribbon to add to your collection.
