Tactical Operations Briefing: TOD 2 Mission 12Protect Princess LeiaThe real threat to this mission are the 3 Gamma T/Bs and the 4
Delta T/Bs. At mission start, dump all energy to shields, set ELS
100/0 and full throttle. Target T/B Gamma 1 and assign it to your
wingman. Target Gamma 2 for yourself. Ignore all T/Is and T/Fs.
Keep recharging your shields as you fly towards the target. At one
point, a group of GUNs will appear behind the T/Bs. They are not
a threat to the mission, only to you. Concentrate on the T/Bs. When
you get near them, evade the torpedoes fired at you, set ELS to
100/100 and circle behind the T/Bs. You may destroy the T/Bs with
a single missile each. Make sure to switch to linked lasers to attack
the last T/B in each group. If you inflict Hull Damage, it will
head back to the STD and no more T/Bs of that group will be launched
until it docks. Assign a GUN to your wingman, while you eliminate
the Delta T/Bs in the same fashion. Again make sure to Hull Damage
the last one in the group. Check the map frequently to make sure
that no T/Bs have gotten past you. If they do, set ELS back to 100/0
and you should catch up to them. Otherwise, fire a missile at them.
Once the initial wave of Delta and Gamma bombers has been dealt
with, return to 100/100 ELS and dogfight the GUNs. After the first
wave of GUNs is destroyed, a new one will come in at about the same
position. Destroy this group as well. The Corvette should jump into
hyperspace at around this time, thus completing the mission. Make
sure that if the STD launches a new wave of Gamma or Delta T/Bs,
you destroy them before they can get in range of Leia's CRV. |
