1.1 Guide Information
______________________

This is the text version of the the Freespace 2 HTML guide - also made by Tim 
Wuyts.  Please keep in mind that the HTML guide is the primary guide: all updates 
will first be made in the HTML guide, it has some pictures of the spacecraft and 
weapons and it does contain some extra information here and there.

The author is the webmaster of  The Cheat Empire (URL see top of document), where 
you can find the latest cheats & walkthroughs for PC Games. Including the latest 
version of this guide.

I wrote this guide because I like to help people. I don't pretend to know 
everything there is to know about the game and I'm certainly not the best pilot 
out there. I would like to label myself an "average" pilot, who has tons of 
single player experience, but with minor multiplayer experience. I also believe a 
guide is never complete, so you can always help me by sending tips to me (don't 
add them yourself).


1.2 Introduction
_________________

I've been playing space sims since I was a small boy. When I think about space 
sims, I think about the legendary series like Wing Commander (Including 
Privateer) and X-Wing. No space sim could rival these titles ... up till now.

Although the first Freespace couldn't appeal me, Freespace 2 turned out to be a 
magnificent piece of art. The story is dragging you to the finish line and has a 
lot of (unsuspected) plots. The sound creates just the right atmosphere: music, 
voices and effects are all high quality. But probably the most stunning feature 
are the graphics ... that is, if you have a "mean machine". I was able to run 
Freespace 2 at a very high detail level in 1024x768. Words cannot describe the 
magic Volition created.

On top of the superb single player campaign, you also have a lot of multiplayer 
options. Team vs. Team, Dogfight and co-operative. On top of that we have the 
squad wars, which sounds very attractive to me. I say sounds, since I have never 
tried the on-line multiplayer capabilities (yet). I hope to test them out at my 
friends house, who has cable connection with the internet.

3.   GENERAL TACTICS
=====================

3.1 Preparations
_________________

Before you start doing some fancy dogfighting, it's necessary to make the proper 
preparations. This includes ship, gun and missile selection. This seems obvious, 
but I know quite a lot of friends who make a selection based on the name of the 
ship/weapon or whether it looks cool or not.

It's important to know what kind of weapons work best in certain situations. The 
Prometheus S for example is an extraordinary weapon, but because of it's slow 
refire rate, I'm not able to use it properly. This makes the weapon useless for 
me, since I prefer guns with a high refire rate which may lack the punch of the 
bigger brother.

It's also important to pick a ship where you are comfortable with. The GVF 
Serapis is an excellent interceptor with high speeds, but it's light armor do not 
fit the profile of my 'ideal' ship. Although not an interceptor, I prefer to take 
a ship with less maneuverability and more armor like the myrmidon.

If you know what you are going into, try to pick your most favorable ships, guns 
and missiles for that situation! The default selection of the computer is not 
bad, but don't be afraid to change it.


3.2 Know the Controls
______________________

Also obvious and simple. Just keep in mind that you don't need to know every key 
to be a good pilot. I know the keys which allow me to play comfortably and 
relaxed, e.g.: I never use the M key (auto adjust speed to target). Why? Because 
I think it's annoying. I want to go full speed ahead and I'll adjust my speed 
with the A/Z temporary speed adjust keys.

When I see a friend goofing up because he can't find the gun/missile selection 
key while flying, I have an urge put my head in the toilet and flush. Things like 
that shouldn't happen, they can mean the difference between life and death.

Most of you will be flying this space sim with a joystick (you have to be nuts if 
you don't). Well, don't forget to adjust the sensitivity of the joystick to your 
liking. Maximum sensitivity is not always the best option, since it has a big 
influence on your aim. To those who want to use the rudder but can't: you can 
install the rudder in your key assignment screen. Select absolute positioning if 
you install your rudder.


3.3 Flying
___________

There are lots of different flying styles, but I'm going to explain mine. This 
might help newbies a bit in developing their own style.

First of all adjust your weapon settings. I always tend to set my guns in dual 
fire mode (this already explains why I can't use 2 guns which drain power very 
fast). This gives me max. damage with the least effort. Once my gun energy is 
running low I switch back to single fire mode (but that almost never happens). 
For the missiles it depends on the type of missile and the type of target. 
Against fighters I use single/dual launch mode, depending on the rocket. 
Trebuchets shouldn't be launched to a fighter in dual launch mode ... it has 
sufficient power to knock a fighter down by itself. Dumbfires, on the other hand, 
are always launched in dual fire mode ... they lack punch against both fighters 
as capital ships. Against capital ships I always fire missiles in dual mode. 
There are only 2 exceptions: the Cyclops and the helios missile.

An important aspect of flying is being capable of dodging incoming fire (guns or 
missiles). Gunfire can easily be evaded by a simple maneuver. However, if the 
attacker is flying on your tail, you'll need to shake some fancy flying out of 
your sleeve in order to dodge the incoming fire. The best thing to do in such a 
situation is to stop focusing on your current target and trying to evade the 
hostile fighter completely, preferably in a position which allows you to take him 
out!
Evading missiles might seem easy ... you have the countermeasures for something 
right?! Wrong! In single player missions, you usually have enough countermeasures 
to finish a mission, but in the few multiplayer missions I have flown, you'll 
notice that they are depleted pretty fast. You need to learn how to evade 
missiles without countermeasures. If you are flying a fast agile fighter you have 
2 possibilities. If you are flying a bomber, only 1. The first possibility for 
the fighter is to let the missiles get real close to you (mind the beeping 
noise). Once the missile is extremely close, you have to pull up (or any other 
direction) fiercely, in combination with a speed boost with the afterburners. 
This can't be applied by bombers, since they lack maneuverability and the speed 
to evade the missile. The second possibility works for both the fighter and the 
bomber. You should fly head on with the missile and just before impact you should 
pull up (or down). The missile will fly right past you ... This can be used bythe 
bombers too, since the missile has less time to correct it's path once the 
evasive maneuver starts. The second way of evading missiles is more efficient (if 
you follow the same path as the missile, it has more time to adjust it's flying 
path), but also harder (since the missile is closing in on you at a very high 
speed (missile speed + your own velocity). Nonetheless, both methods require 
extensive training, since timing is an extremely important factor.

The easiest way to take out a target it to fly behind it and follow it, 
preferably from close range. Head-to-head situations are not healthy for your own 
fighter, so don't do it too often. Attacking a fighter from the side is also a 
possibility. This means that the target is no threat to you, but the target is 
much harder to hit, since small changes in speed result in a miss (this isn't the 
case when you tail your target). Also, don't be afraid to use your missiles ... 
if the banks get depleted, so what?! You can rearm yourself in most missions and 
by not using missiles you're making everything more difficult for yourself. This 
often results in finished missions with almost all missiles in the banks, that's 
not why they are there! Furthermore you should make a difference between the 
ships you are attacking:


Bombers
-------

Bombers aren't a real threat to a fighter, unless you are heavily outnumbered 
(this means that you get a rocket behind your tail every 5 seconds). Bombers lack 
maneuverability, which usually make them easy targets for your guns. If the need 
is high, you should fire missiles to speed up the job, otherwise your guns will 
be sufficient.

Remember however that taking a bomber out with your guns might take a while, 
because of their heavy hull and shielding. Therefore it's not wise (certainly in 
multiplayer) to hover behind a bomber for a longer period of time. This makes you 
the sitting duck, since your fighter isn't heavily armored and you are flying at 
slower speeds.


Fighters
--------

Fighters can be annoying from time to time. With their excellent maneuverability 
and often high speeds, they tend to be a more difficult target. I thought the SF 
Dragon was the hardest target to destroy: it outmaneuvered and outran you easily, 
but once you were able to hit it a few times they were spacedust. This is also 
the biggest drawback of the fighter, lack of shielding and hull plating. It 
doesn't take much to take out an enemy fighter (there are some exceptions like 
the SF Mara), but also remember that you are flying a similar craft and also are 
lightly armored. That's why I like the GTF Erinyes most. It has good speed, 
maneuverability and plating, combined with a large number of gun mounts and 
missile banks.


Warships
--------

It's not recommended to attack warships with a regular fighter. It's not fit for 
the job and usually does minor damage because of it's unadapted payload. If you 
want to take out multiple capital ships, make sure you pick a bomber.

While attacking a warship, always try to hit one of it's weapons or subsystems. 
This does damage and if you destroy a laser turret, that's one less thing to 
worry about. What should you target first? This depends on the urgency of the 
matter. If you notice one of your capital ships is being torn apart, head for the 
beam turrets. Otherwise I recommend to take out laser turrets or missile 
launchers first. You might also target one of the subsystems: engines if you 
don't want the target to get in close range of a certain ship, sensors or 
weapons - can't remember exactly - if you want to make the targeting system less 
accurate.


3.4 Favorite Ship
__________________

SHIP: GTF Erinyes

GUNS: GTW Subach HL-7
      GTW UD-8 Kayser 

MISSILES: GTM-19 Harpoon (2x) 


Why is this my favorite ship and weapon loadout? Simple, the Erinyes is an 
excellent ship: it's sturdy, has an average flying speed and average 
maneuverability. Combine this with the high number of gun mounts and 2 missile 
banks and you have the perfect dogfighter. Some will say, what's the difference 
with the Myrmidon ... I don't know! I tend to perform better with the Erinyes 
than with any other ship.

Why do you put a Subach HL-7 gun on the ship? There's this thing called energy 
management ... I don't like to toy around with the engine/shield/gun recharge 
levels and this solves my problem. If you want to pack a good punch, dual fire 
mode gives you the solution. I tend to fly with only the Kayser on-line ... once 
my energy levels become critically low, I switch to the Subach. This allows me to 
continue firing at the enemy, while the energy level has the opportunity to 
recharge (the Subach hardly drains any power).

The Harpoons are also an obvious choice, since this is my favorite dogfighting 
ship. No need for heavy trebuchets, cyclops or helios missiles. If you are 
fighting against the odds, speed is of the essence. The harpoon with his fast 
lock gives me the speed. Cripple the shields with the guns, fire the harpoon for 
the kill. The great thing of it is ... it works!

4.   MISSION OVERVIEW  (Single Player)
=======================================

4.1 Information
________________

This is merely an overview of the single player missions, since I haven't played 
much multiplayer missions yet. Single player missions are also easier to write 
about, since you have total control over the success/failure of a mission.

I divided the missions just by numbers, not by category (SOC, Vasudan, 
Terran, ...). I suggest you read the general tactics section before going over 
the different missions. I was able to complete these missions with the tactics 
explained there!

The first missions are all very easy, but from level 20 and higher, you can 
notice a gradual climb in difficulty (some missions are more difficult than 
others). Strangely enough, the first missions weren't a high success (statistical 
wise - I didn't have a lot of kills), while in the latter missions I tend to be 
flying through enemy debris. Maybe it took some time to get used to the controls, 
or maybe I just had to get into berserk mode ... I don't know. When I replayed 
the missions, I did get a lot of extra kills.

This mission overview includes all training and SOC missions. If you decide to 
skip one of them, you should recalculate the missions numbers.

The missions themselves contain the following information:
    * Primary objectives 
    * Secondary objectives 
    * Default ship and loadout 
    * Possible ships and loadouts 
    * Overview of the mission 

Keep in mind that the primary and secondary objectives given in the mission 
overview are the ones at the beginning of the the mission. During the mission, 
extra objectives may be added. You can view them by pressing the F4 key!

If some of the information mentioned here is incorrect or incomplete, please 
contact me. I'm only human and bound to make a mistake here or there!

Escorting IOTA isn't that hard. The only opposition you'll get in this mission 
are some GTF Hercules (usually in pairs). Once all fighters have been taken out a 
friendly warship will arrive ... a few moments later the NTF Corvette Belarius. 
You can engage it, but it'll get blown away by the friendly warship, so why 
bother.


4.6 Mission 5 - The Place of Chariots
______________________________________

Objectives
----------

Primary objectives:    Destroy all NTF Fighters 
Secondary Objectives:  Destroy all freighters and sentry guns

Ship and loadout
----------------

Default:

   Ship:      GTF Myrmidon	
   Guns:      GTW Subach HL-7 (2x)	
   Missiles:  GTM MX-64 Rockeye (2x)
              GTM MX-6 Tempest Missile	

Possibilities:

   Ships:     None	
   Guns:      GTW Akheton SDG

Mission Overview
----------------

* Destroy Cancer 
* Destroy Sentries 
* Destroy Aquarius 
* Destroy Aries 
* Investigate Asteroid 
* Destroy Installation 
* Destroy Pisces 
* Destroy Virgo

You'll be dealing with a few GTF Hercules' here, but you'll encounter more GTF 
Loki's.

Once you start the mission, take out the fighters first, followed by the sentry 
guns. Once that's done, wait for more fighters to jump into your system.

After a while command will give you the order to investigate the asteroid 
(blinking red dot on radar). Do it and take out the turrets as you move closer to 
the asteroid. Once it has been ID'ed, you should destroy it. The ICENI goes into 
hyperjump though, and you won't be able to destroy it in time. While attacking 
the asteroid/installation/ICENI, some new fighters will appear. Take them out 
when you see fit (when they annoy you).


4.7 Mission 6 - The Romans Blunder
___________________________________

Objectives
----------

Primary objectives:    Destroy the NTF ICENI
Secondary Objectives:  None

Ship and loadout
----------------

Default:

   Ship:      GTF Myrmidon	
   Guns:      GTW Subach HL-7 (2x)	
   Missiles:  GTM MX-64 Rockeye (2x)
              GTM MX-6 Tempest Missile	

Possibilities:

   Ships:     None	
   Guns:      None	
   Missiles:  None	

Mission Overview
----------------

* Destroy the ICENI 
* Destroy Freighters 
* Destroy Gemini 
* Destroy Leo 
* Destroy Aquarius 
* Destroy Scorpio 

You'll never reach the ICENI in time, so don't bother. You'll be reassigned to 
stop any enemy ship that comes through the system.

First 2 freighters will enter the system, together with a fighter escort. 
Needless to say, take out the fighters (GTF Loki I believe) first followed by the 
freighters (which are an easy target).

Once this job is done a few warships jump in ... also with a fighter escort. 
Concentrate on the fighters first, once they are blown out of the sky, 
concentrate on the warships. They should have sustained quite a bit of damage by 
now (because of the Psamtik), so finishing them off should be easy by now. 


4.8 Mission 7 - Training 4
___________________________

Objectives
----------

Primary objectives:    None 
Secondary Objectives:  None

Ship and loadout
----------------

Default:

   Ship:      GTF Hercules Mark II

* Destroy BEHEMOTH 
* Destroy SEMYAZA 
* Destroy Virgo 
* Destroy MAUL 
* Destroy Cancer 
* Destroy NEQAEL 
* Destroy Leo 
* Destroy Aries 
* Destroy Aquarius 
* Destroy Scorpio 
* Destroy GOLIATH 
* Destroy Libra

There's a lot to be done in this mission. Quite a lot of Shivan fighters and 
smaller warships have to be destroyed. Basically you have to take it as it comes. 
Take out the fighters first, but if you notice that a fighter is a few 1000m away 
and you're flying past a warship, try to take out the warship first.

Since the warships aren't that big, your hornets (if these are the missiles you 
picked) do quite a bit of damage (dual fire mode = 8 missiles). Combined with a 
good old fashioned energy weapon, it will be creamed in no time.

You'll meet 2 Shivan fighters: SF Mara and SF Astaroth. The Mara has good plating 
and speed but only a reasonable maneuverability. It's also quite big and 
therefore easy to hit. The Astaroth is more maneuverable and also has a higher 
speed, but it's fragile. You might miss it a few times, but once you hit it ... 
it'll be out of the sky in no time.

Mission Overview
----------------

* Follow Zeta 1 
* Destroy Leo 
* Destroy Aries 
* Protect DISCOVERY 
* Destroy TRINITY 
* Destroy Virgo 
* Destroy Aquarius 
* Destroy Cancer 
* Destroy Libra

At first everything is very quiet in this mission. All you have to do is follow 
Zeta 1 until you notice some enemies on your radar. Once that happens, move in to 
destroy them. You'll encounter some SF Manticores. A little bit later, you'll 
notice another wing of Manticores. Once they are taken out, continue your patrol.

You'll encounter the NTF Trinity, protect it and the repair team they send to 
recover it. Once the repair team has jumped in, more Shivan fighters will appear, 
including: SF Manticores, SF Basilisks and SF Dragons. Fight them off at your 
best ability, but once the Dragons jump in, the mission is over. The Trinity and 
the Discovery will be destroyed (they went from 96% health to 0% in a matter of 
seconds ... don't ask me how). GTVA command will announce that you have to return 
to base. Do so, or you'll have to deal with 2 wings of enemy Dragons and that 
usually isn't too healthy.

Mission Overview
----------------

* Protect Corvettes 
* Destroy Taurus 
* Destroy Pisces 
* Destroy Libra 
* Destroy Virgo 
* Destroy ASURAS 
* Destroy Scorpio 
* Destroy Gemini 
* Destroy Aquarius 
* Destroy IBLIS 
* Destroy Cancer

Since protecting the Corvette is you primary objective, always make sure that you 
return to it once you've taken out the fighters. That way you are always on time 
to intercept the next wing of enemy fighters.

First you'll get a wing of Astaroths and Maras to hold off. This shouldn't be too 
hard.

The next time the Asuras an 2 fighter escorts will jump in. First take out the 
fighters (Astaroths and Basilisks), since they pose the biggest threat to you 
(although I wouldn't call a Basilisk a big threat). The Asuras isn't a big to the 
Corvettes in the beginning (unless it takes you 1 hour to take out the fighters). 
Once the fighters are goners, fire some hornets at the Asuras, taking it down 
shouldn't take too long.

The next wings contain of Maras and SB Seraphims, needless to say that the 
Seraphims, should be engaged first. They are extremely dangerous for the 
Corvettes, so try to take them out before they can launch their bombs. Proceed 
with the Maras.

Now the Iblis will jump in, together with a Mara wing. Same procedure as with the 
Asuras.

Suddenly an unknown ship will appear on radar. Upon investigation you come to the 
conclusion that it's a destroyer and it will cream the Corvettes no matter what 
you do. Jump out of the system, once you are told to do so. 


4.13 Mission 12 - Slaying Ravana
_________________________________

Objectives
----------

Primary objectives:    Destroy RAVANA 
Secondary Objectives:  None

Ship and loadout
----------------

Default:

   Ship:      GTB Boanerges	
   Guns:      GTW-5a Prometheus (R) Cannon	
   Missiles:  GTM-4 Hornet Swarm Missile GTM-12 Cyclops (2x)	

Possibilities:

   Ships:     GTB Medusa
              GTB Ursa	
   Guns:      GTW Subach HL-7
              GTW Akheton SDG	
   Missiles:  GTM MX-6 Tempest Missile	

Mission Overview
----------------

* Destroy Virgo 
* Destroy Taurus 
* Destroy RAVANA 
* Destroy Cancer 
* Destroy Aquarius 
* Destroy Saggitarius 
* Destroy Gemini 
* Destroy Scorpio 
* Destroy Leo

I didn't fly this mission with the Boanerges, but with the Medusa. Mainly because 
of the maneuverability (the boanerges can't even follow a ship if it flew past 
him at 1 mps - making it a terrible ship for dogfights).

Although your job is to take out the Ravana, don't forget about the fighters 
either. If you let them alive too long, all of your wingmates will be dead and 
they will all come after you - so this is a definite no, no. Before heading for 
the Ravana take out the Basilisks (they are closer than the Ravana).

Now head for the Ravana and launch your Cyclops missiles at a range of 1 km (it 
takes a while to acquire a lock. If you launch from too far, the Cyclops can be 
destroyed before impact. If you launch too close, you'll get hit by the blast 
radius.) I tend to target the sensors or weapons systems, first (whatever the 
bombs can hit from my current fly path).

Once the cyclops' have been launched (dual fire mode) occupy yourself with the 
fighters again. It's wise to engage the fighters away from the Ravana (if it 
starts shooting it's flak guns, your shields and hull might get creamed), but 
this isn't always possible. Once you've taken out a few fighters head back for 
the Ravana. This will avoid getting a bunch of fighters behind your tail while 
paying enough attention to crippling the Ravana.

Repeat until the mission is finished.

PS. If you want to fire the Cyclops 2x you have to keep in mind that it needs a 
reload time of 20 seconds. If you have 2 banks with Cyclops missiles, just change 
the bank you are firing from to speed things up.

Mission Overview
----------------

* Protect Transports 
* Destroy CATO 
* Destroy Pisces 
* Destroy Leo 
* Destroy Virgo 
* Destroy HAWKWOOD 
* Destroy Aries 
* Destroy Taurus

First take out the GTF Hercules', followed by the Cato. Once the bombers jump 
(GTB Zeus) in redirect yourself to these and let the Cato alone for a while. 
Since you have to protect the station, you have to act swiftly. Intercept the 
bombers as fast as you can, if they are able to launch missiles take them out 
first and afterwards the bombers. Once the first wing of bombers is destroyed, go 
back and finish off the Cato.

By that time a second wing of bombers will fly in, followed shortly by the 
Hawkwood. Concentrate on the bombers (and bombs) for now, only if there are no 
more bombers left, go back to take on the Hawkwood. Don't just fire to do damage, 
try to destroy weaponry or subsystems. The same rule applies here, once more 
bombers fly in, divert your attention. Eventually the GTVA Colossus will jump in 
to finish the Hawkwood (that's why it's important to take on it's weapons and 
subsystems - so it can only do minimal damage to the station/transports - the 
Colossus will destroy it for you)

Mission Overview
----------------

* Defend Convoy 
* Destroy Libra 
* Destroy Pisces 
* Destroy Gemini 
* Destroy Aquarius 
* Destroy Capricorn 
* Destroy Aries 
* Destroy Cancer 
* Destroy MAELSTROM

Head for the flashing red dots in the radar and take out a few sentry guns. Don't 
keep on destroying sentry guns, since there are bombers flying towards the 
convoy. It's more important to intercept them. Once the bombers (and bombs) are 
destroyed, take on the fighters and then concentrate your fire on the remaining 
sentry guns.

Nothing will happen for quite a long time now. Suddenly some fighters and the 
Maelstrom will jump in ... first try to take out the beam weapon of the 
Maelstrom, it does a lot of damage to the convoy if you don't take it out. This 
is one of the crucial factors to complete the primary objective. Once that's 
done, kill the fighters (if any are left) and make scrap out of the Maelstrom.

* Destroy Escort Fighters 
* Protect the RAMPART 
* Destroy Libra 
* Destroy Aries

You'll be confronted with a few Hercs and 2 GTC's (Majestic and Refute). These 
can be destroyed quite easily. Afterwards, multiple GTF Loki's will jump in. They 
are fast and agile, but can't take a beating. Just concentrate on all new fighter 
wings that jump in.

If the destroyer jumps it, leave it be. The Colossus will jump in to help you, 
but they will collide with each other. You can't stop it, so why bother attacking 
the GTD (unless you want to improve your stats) 


4.18 Mission 17 - Rebels & Renegades

Mission Overview
----------------

* Scan Iceni 
* Destroy YAARU 
* Protect ICENI 
* Protect HINTON 
* Destroy Libra 
* Destroy Gemini 
* Destroy Scorpio 
* Destroy Virgo 
* Destroy Leo 
* Destroy Sagittarius

This is definitely the most difficult mission up till now. First go and scan the 
Iceni (600m) and then go and scan the Hinton (200m - bonus objective). Now some 
bombers and fighters will enter the system. Forget about the fighters, head 
straight for the bombers and deal with them swiftly. Speed of execution is very 
important ... a little screw up here or there usually results in failure.

Like I already said, bombers are a priority, no matter which wings jump in. Let 
the Taurets toy a bit and destroy them once you have the time. There will also be 
2 warships: a GVC and a GVCv. The first is pretty easy to destroy, the second is 
a nightmare (esp. to the Iceni). Once it flies in, try to destroy all the beam 
turrets first. At approximately the same time, you'll get orders to intercept any 
incoming asteroids, do this once the turrets have been taken out. The asteroids 
have a higher priority than fighters which might harass you. If a lot of them 
impact the Iceni, it's history too. Only engage fighters if you have a short 
break!

If you want to know the damage the asteroids do in combination with the GVCv, I 
suggest you stand down and watch the Iceni health indicator diminish rapidly.

* Destroy Kappa 
* Destroy Iota 
* Destroy MYLAE 
* Destroy Leo 
* Destroy Gemini 
* Destroy HELLESPONT 
* Destroy Taurus 
* Destroy Pisces 
* Destroy Aries 
* Destroy Aquarius

Suddenly, the rest of the fighter escort discovers that you are a traitor. Take 
them out with the help of the lieutenant. They are all Hercs Mark II, but they 
are pretty easy to defeat.

Then additional NTF Fighters will jump in, but they won't attack you. Once the 
GTVA Fighters jump in, the NTF's will become hostile. So kill them too.

A little while later the Mylae will jump in with a Herc Fighter escort. First 
take out the fighters, the Mylae doesn't do a lot of damage. The Hercs shouldn't 
take too long with the help of the other GTVA fighters. Then take out the 
Mylae ... also pretty easy.

Then the Hellespont will jump in, together with a fighter escort which consists 
of Hercs and Hercs Mark II. I suggest you leave the Hercs alone for the moment 
and concentrate on the Hellespont, it does a lot of damage to the Sunder if you 
intercept it too late. Prioritize the beam turrets, once they are take care 
of ... go for the kill. A friendly Corvette will jump in to assist you. If there 
are any fighters left after the destruction of the Hellespont, engage them too.

Once all friendly ships have jumped out of the area, wait for the NTC rendezvous 
ships and then return to base.

* Destroy Alastor 
* Destroy Beta 
* Destroy Alpha 
* Destroy Gemini 
* Destroy Cancer 
* Destroy SAHARAN

Start by taking out the sentry guns. Once that's done a transport (Elysium) will 
jump in. Don't engage it! After a few warnings the NTF Fighters will turn 
hostile. This is the most difficult part of this mission. Take out the Myrmidons 
as soon as possible ... don't be afraid to use missiles to take out the first 
targets in a few seconds. Otherwise you'll get a bunch of fighters behind you and 
that's not recommendable.

Once they are taken care of, a little while later, more Myrmidons will appear. 
Luckily additional fighter wings will jump in to help you. First take out the 
cruiser then concentrate on the fighters. Once they all are destroyed, return to 
the GTVA base ... Your undercover SOC missions are over.

Mission Overview
----------------

* Destroy Scorpio 
* Destroy Libra 
* Destroy MALOR 
* Destroy Cancer 
* Destroy Virgo

Wait until the ships you need to escort to jump in. Once they do, just wait for 
the first enemy wing to jump in. Once they do, take them (SF Manticores) out. 
Later on, you'll get some Maras on your back, but they shouldn't pose a problem 
either.

Once the cruiser jumps in, call in Zeta wing. They are more fit to take out 
cruisers, I wouldn't worry to much about the cruiser if you called in Zeta. They 
can take care of it pretty fast. You keep your eye on new incoming wings of 
fighters and bombers. Once the bombers (SB Nephelims) arrive, make sure you take 
them out first. The freighters and the Lucidity have a real lowthresholdd for 
damage so ...

Overall, this mission was pretty easy to complete. There are lots of dead moments 
in between the different wings, giving you plenty of time to recover.

Mission Overview
----------------

* TAG Cancer 
* TAG Scorpio 
* Destroy Leo 
* Destroy Virgo 
* Destroy Libra

At first you'll encounter some Basilisks. You can either tag them or destroy 
them, it doesn't really matter, as long as they get destroyed. But, as expected, 
something goes wrong: an (unexpected) wing of Shivan fighters jump in ... 
including bombers!

Once this happens, TAG as many different targets as possible ... once this is 
done, you can easily finish them off with your guns. Remember that the TAG-A is a 
dumbfire missile, so try to get in close before you fire it. You'll notice that 
your target is tagged by the yellow (instead of red) brackets around them. The 
tag will wear off after a few seconds. Also keep in mind that the target should 
be within 3000m of the capital ship ... otherwise it's useless.

Just make sure you intercept the bombers in time. Once they are gone, you'll 
surely be able to finish the mission without any further complications.

Mission Overview
----------------

* Protect OBERON 
* Destroy Virgo 
* Destroy Taurus 
* Protect AQUITAINE 
* Destroy TIAMAT 
* Destroy Cancer 
* Destroy Pisces 
* Destroy Libra

You'll have to test the stealth abilities of the Pegasus (unfortunately, you are 
not allowed to fly it in this mission). They call in the Oberon, an old cruise, 
which you have to defend. You'll notice that it's pretty hard to fly without a 
lock on your target. But once you have visual contact, you won't lose track of 
the Pegasus easily. I think you have to keep the Oberon for at least 20% healthy 
in order to protect it successfully. I really don't see the point of this, 
because you can fire as much as you want (and hit the target of course), the 
Pegasus will continue it's standard attack/retreat routines. It doesn't matter 
one bit if you hit it or miss it. Don't waste your missiles on them!

Once the second part of the test is about to begin, a group of Shivan fighters 
(Mara) will jump in ... time for some real action. A bit later the Taurus group 
will jump in. These are bombers, so intercept them and their bombs first! They 
pose a serious threat to the Aquitaine. By the time you have taken them out a 
corvette will jump in (Tiamat) ... destroy it first! Target the beam turrets, so 
it doesn't inflict much damage to the Aquitaine. Then go for whichever weapon 
system you want ... I usually go for the flaks or missile launchers first, but 
tend to pick off a laser here and there as the opportunity arises. Remember that 
you have to keep close to the Tiamat in order to get help from the Aquitaine. 
Your sensors allow the Aquitaine to open fire. Once the Tiamat is destroyed (or 
jumped out) take care off the remaining fighters.

Mission Overview
----------------

* Destroy UHURU 
* Destroy Virgo 
* Destroy PAX 
* Destroy Taurus 
* Destroy LIBERTY 
* Destroy UNDAUNTED 
* Destroy Pisces 
* Destroy INSPIRATION 
* Destroy PERSEVERANCE

Since you are flying a bomber and your primary mission is to take out warships. 
However, you should not neglect the fighter wings. There are 4 sentry guns (GTSG 
Mjolnir) who have beam turrets. They help a great deal with the destruction of 
the warships. All fighters launched want to take out these sentry guns ... so 
deal with them too.

For the first warships, I wouldn't use too many cyclops'. Your wingmates fire 
enough missiles to destroy the target for you. Remember that if you engage the 
first warships, you'll probably need to rearm, to take out targets that arrive 
later. Rearming is always a risky business! This is a perfect time to spent some 
time on the enemy fighters!

Once the Liberty and the Undaunted jumped in ... I started to engage warships 
too. Your wingmates seem to have depleted their cyclops' missiles by that time. 
Also communicate with your wings to optimize destruction. Let another wing engage 
the target that you are not engaging. The Perseverance (the last warship to jump 
in) is also the most difficult to destroy ... if you have to rearm yourself at 
the time it jumps in, you can forget about it. You have such a short time span 
and practically no help from your wingmates. It's not a disaster if it jumps out 
of the system (happened to me too a few times), but it's more satisfying to see 
it explode.

* Destroy YOSHIMOTO 
* Destroy ALBA 
* Destroy Cancer 
* Destroy EPIGONI 
* Destroy Pisces

Once you jump in the Vindicator and the Venture are already in the system, no 
Iceni though. Once you launched your cyclops (2x) divert your attention to the 
Hercules fighters. It takes 20 seconds before you can fire another missile. The 
Hercules fighters shouldn't be hard to destroy, once they have been destroyed you 
should concentrate on destroying the warship and the transport (don't use 
cyclops' on the transport, it's not worth it).

From now on, keep on concentrating on taking out bigger ships. There's a wing of 
Myrmidons to assist you with the destruction of the fighters. You might want to 
rearm, but like I said before, watch out ... you're a sitting duck if any enemy 
wing is in the vicinity.

The beginning of this mission is quite hectic, but things will slow down 
eventually. The first part is also the most important part. Protect the Monitor 
from the bombers and fighters. Taking the bombers out shouldn't take too long. 
Once you have successfully repelled the first wave, the Colossus will jump in to 
relieve the Monitor of duty.

From then on, do the thing you are supposed to do: take out all hostiles. The 
Colossus will help taking out the bigger ships, so don't worry too much about 
those.

Once the Iceni jumps in the Colossus malfunctions (figures!). Don't try to take 
it out, you won't get the time. Keep concentrated on the fighters.

* Destroy Gas Miners 
* Destroy Sentries 
* Destroy Virgo 
* Destroy Libra 
* Destroy Cancer 
* Destroy Taurus 
* Destroy Scorpio 
* Protect TATENEN 
* Destroy Aries 
* Destroy Gemini

You have to find a good balance between picking off fighters/sentries and 
destroying miners. If you're having troubles, you're probably concentrating too 
much of your fire on the miners, who do minimal damage to your fighter. The only 
thing you should keep in mind when you are flying this mission is: don't fly too 
close to the miners when they explode. Your hull will be crippled severely if a 
miner explodes in your vicinity.

Once all miners, sentries, fighters, ... have been taken out, the Shivans will 
launch an attack on the Tatenen. Target the bombers first, then take care of the 
remaining fighters. Once that's done, you have to investigate an unknown ship. 
Once you discover what it is (a juggernaut class warship - let's just call it a 
big warship), it's already too late. The Tatenen will be blown into a thousand 
pieces.

* Scan Communications
* Scan Weapons
* Scan Sensors
* Scan Navigation 

This is an easy mission. Target the different subsystems and do a scan (a few 
seconds from close range). Make sure you target the subsystem closest to you, 
this reduces the flight time. You might get some missiles fired at you, but they 
shouldn't be that hard to dodge.

Once the systems are all scanned you get 2 option: return to base or take out as 
many turrets as you can. Just take out the turrets, they are easy to destroy and 
there's little opposition. Do this until the Sathanas jumps out of the system.

Mission Overview

* Destroy Virgo 
* Destroy Taurus 
* Destroy Cancer 
* Destroy Scorpio

This is a strange mission: you have to destroy all warships, but they are never 
mentioned in your objectives screen in the HUD. If you are flying the Serapis, I 
wouldn't engage too many warships, just occupy yourself with the fighters. Delta 
wing (needs to be called in) in combination with the friendly capital ships are 
more than enough to take out warships.

Later in the mission you'll be confronted with the supreme Shivan fighter (in my 
opinion) the SF Dragon. They are agile, fast and can do a lot of damage ... 
luckily they have a light hull. But in overall, this mission should be nothing to 
worry about!

Mission Overview
----------------

* Engage Hostiles 
* Lure Shivans to RENENET 
* Destroy Capricorn 
* Destroy Scorpio 
* Destroy Aries 
* Destroy Libra 
* Destroy Cancer 
* Destroy Pisces

In the beginning some astaroth's are patrolling the Knossos device. Just engage 
them, more will jump in while you are fighting. You could lure them closer to the 
Renenet, this makes things easier for you. It's also mentioned in the objectives 
screen in your HUD, but I wouldn't bother too much if you know you can handle 
them.

The main advantage of fighting close to the Renenet is that you don't have to fly 
away from the meson bomb to clear the area. They just begin countdown and they 
don't bug you that much. At the time the countdown begins, some SF Dragons will 
jump in. Just let them be, they will all be wiped away by the meson bomb.

Once the first bomb exploded (but wasn't successfull) a wing of SF Mara's will 
jump in. In other words: nothing to worry about. Once they have been wiped out, 
the second meson bomb will be deployed. Just wait until lambda jumps out and the 
bomb will explode. But suddenly the Sathanas jumps in without the use of the 
Knossos device (surprise, surprise!). It's time to head back to base.

Mission Overview
----------------

* Destroy Forward Flak Guns 
* Destroy Scorpio 
* Destroy Virgo 
* Destroy Beam Turrets 
* Destroy Beam Turrets 
* Destroy Gemini

This is a not so difficult mission if you know how to fly it ... however, I never 
managed to destroy all 4 beam turrets so far (3 is the max. - but hell, I only 
played the mission 3 times thus far. I'll try to take out all 4 turrets, but 
first I got to finish this guide). The success of the mission depends on the way 
you deploy the helios missiles. You should launch them from close range and at 
maximum speed (with afterburners). If you do this correctly, launching 2 helios 
missiles (dual fire mode) will be enough to take down one beam turret.

The next question a lot of players might ask ... I only have 4 helios missiles. 
How am I supposed to take out more than 2 beam turrets? Easy, rearm yourself. I 
tend to call for the rearming ship once I start the mission. You can rearm 
yourself while the new helios missiles are loaded into your missile banks (30 
seconds) ... this is also a perfect time to start taking out the flak guns. You 
can easily rearm and shoot at the flak guns at the same time!

Once this is done, do it again ... and again (you don't need to rearm every time).

Once the Sathanas jumps out, don't head back to base. You have to take out 
another ship (you can rearm while you are waiting, the helios missiles will make 
things just a bit easier). You have to take out the Beleth's beam turrets. First 
target the engines to stop the warship (unless you can do it in time). Then start 
taking out the beam turrets and then finish it off. It's not advisable to destroy 
it immediately (before you take out the turrets), since the objectives for taking 
out the beam turrets will be incomplete (It's strange, I know - I've notified 
Volition about this).

Now it's time to destroy Gemini wing and head out of there!

it out in this mission. If you want to know how to take out the beams, check the 
previous mission.

Once the beams are taken out, concentrate on taking out Cancer wing. This 
shouldn't be very hard. Once the fighters are taken out, take out the remaining 
weapons on the Sathanas: beam turrets, flak guns, laser guns, missile 
launchers ... Once the Sathanas is destroyed, jump back to base.

a wing of bombers will have jumped in. You intercept the bombers and their bombs, 
while you can let Beta wing take care of the remaining cruiser.

Once the transport jumps in, different wings of enemy fighters and bombers will 
jump in. Just remember that bombers are always a priority! No transport/Iceni, 
means a failed mission objective and the bombers are the only threat. Just watch 
your radar closely and once you see a new wave of fighters jumping in, head to 
intercept. If you take most of them out before they become a threat you should 
have no trouble completing this mission.

* Destroy Scorpio

This mission has nothing to do with the recovery of the Azrael. During the 
mission you'll be given a complete set of new instructions, so listen carefully 
(or watch them in the F4 objectives screen).

Fly toward the red blinking dots in your radar. You'll find a second subspace 
portal. You'll be engaging a dogfight with multiple SF Dragons and a few Mara's. 
Like I already said, they are hard to destroy because of their speed and 
maneuverability. Don't call in the reinforcements, since this triggers the 
arrival of a cruiser ... and that's one more thing to worry about. First take out 
all dragons and the Dahaka, then call in Delta wing. It'll be easy to take out 
the Sephiroth.

The Psamtik will jump in (about 9000m away from the device), assign your wings to 
defend it. There will be a few wings, but they are not so hard to destroy. Once 
this is done a new Juggernaut will jump in and destroy the Psamtik. You'll get 
the order to return to base.

* Destroy Pisces 
* Destroy Libra 
* Destroy Leo 
* Destroy Gemini 
* Destroy Taurus 
* Destroy Capricorn 
* Destroy Sagittarius 
* Destroy Aquarius

First intercept the Mara's attacking the Aquitaine - you should have some time 
left to help the Aquitaine with the Abaddon if you're fast enough. However, once 
the fighters jump in, concentrate on them. The Aquitane can take care of the 
Abaddon itself.

Some bombers and Mara's will jump in by the time you have taken out the 
Astaroth's. First take out the bombers (and their bombs), since they can do the 
most damage to the Aquitaine, then go for the fighters. Some additional Basilisks 
and SB Taurvi will jump in. Again, you should first concentrate on the bombers, 
then on the fighters!

Now you'll have to wait a while until the transport has docked with the 
Aquitaine. Once this operation is complete more bombers (and only bombers from 
now on) will jump in. SB Taurvi's, but mostly SB Nahema's ... hold them off until 
the Aquitaine has jumped.

Mission Overview
----------------

* Follow Nav Buoys 
* Find GRALL 
* Call in LAMBDA 1 
* Protect LAMBDA 1

This SOC mission is not so difficult, but it can get quite annoying. Your HUD 
doesn't function properly because of the interference caused by the nebula. The 
trick is to keep an eye on your radar. It may not function properly, but in 
between the glitches you can use it to navigate through the nebula. Just fly to 
the next nav buoy and once you fly past it, a new buoy (grey dot) will appear on 
radar. So all you have to do, is watch where the new dot appears on the radar and 
fly towards it.

There will be a wing (or two) of Basilisks around each buoy, but they are easy to 
destroy. The hardest part is to get back on track after the engagement (I once 
flew all the way back to NB 1 - Aaaaaaaaargh!).

After 7 buoys you'll finally reach the Grall, but it's under attack by Nahema 
bombers. Needless to say that you have to take them out. Watch out though, they 
might send quite a few missiles behind your tail. Sometimes it's better to do 
evasive maneuvers than it is to stick to your target!

Once the bombers have been taken out, call in Lambda 1. Some enemy wings will 
jump in, but they shouldn't give you too much trouble.

Mission Overview
----------------

* Destroy Leo 
* Destroy Libra 
* Destroy Shivan Devices 
* Destroy Scorpio 
* Destroy Gemini 
* Destroy Aries

Once the mission starts, immediately dive with your fighter and hit the 
afterburners to evade the Juggernaut who goes into hyperspace. Then start heading 
for the Shivan device. Once you get to close, the Shivans will be alerted and 
engage you!

The most efficient way to take out the device is by destroying the subspace 
crystal in the center of the device (the red center). You just need a couple of 
missiles (if you hit it correctly). Once you've destroyed it (the red center 
doesn't burst or anything), the device will self destruct. The best way to hit it 
is by flying close to the center, into the device ... between the rotating arms. 
However, the explosion of the device is very powerful and it can do some serious 
damage to your hull. So you have to get out of that position as fast as you can, 
once you destroyed it!

For the other 2 devices, you can always rely on your wingmates ... should your 
hull be critically damaged. You can hold off the Shivan fighters / bombers. Since 
the distance between the different devices is so big, it's wise to divert power 
to your engines ... so your afterburners can recharge faster, enabling you to 
reach the devices faster (this buys you some minutes).

Once the devices are destroyed, head back to the jump node and wait until 15:00 
have passed (take out any hostiles that bother you). Once the 15 mins are over, 
your jump drives will be enabled and you can jump out of there!

Mission Overview
----------------

* Destroy Scorpio 
* Destroy Leo 
* Protect Convoy 
* Destroy Gibborim Beams 
* Destroy Taurus 
* Destroy Aries 
* Destroy Virgo

If you have troubles completing this mission successfully, don't be too shy to 
call in Theta wing. They don't solve a lot of problems, but they do take some of 
the pressure away. Personally, I found this mission pretty hard ... you can 
easily stay alive, but it's hard to keep whole convoy in one piece. You have to 
be extremely fast or you're bound to lose a few ships in the convoy.

Bombers and bombs should be intercepted immediately. If there are multiple bomber 
wings, assign Theta specifically to a certain wing. This allows you to occupy 
yourself with the other, while you know the others are taken care of too.

Try to keep the Nebtuu alive as long as possible, it helps a great deal 
destroying the warship that was already in the system. Don't make the mistake of 
attacking the SC too fast! Don't head straight for it once it enters the system 
(I believe it's 6.5km away). First occupy yourself with the bombers and go after 
the SC Cain once it becomes a threat.

Assign Delta wing to defend Lambda wing 1 and 2 (once they are in the system). 
This should provide enough cover for the transports, while you have the time to 
engage enemies all over the playing field.

Again the same story while escorting capital ships ... concentrate on bombers and 
the bombs they launch. Fighters are of a lesser priority (but should also be 
taken out). If you abide this rule, you'll finish the mission in no time!

Mission Overview
----------------

* Destroy Freighters 
* Destroy Scorpio 
* Destroy Cancer 
* Destroy BAAL 
* Destroy Virgo 
* Destroy Libra

There don't seem to be that many fighters in this mission, so you shouldn't have 
any troubles taking them all out of commission. This means you also have plenty 
of time to attack some warships (make sure you adjust your missile loadout to 
deal with capital ships (dumbfires work just fine)). Don't get cocky though, once 
you notice that your hull integrity has dropped to a critical level, don't bother 
about the warships any more (if this happens it will be near the end of the 
mission)

Once the bomber squadron becomes available to you, let them take out all capital 
ships while you let one of the fighter wings protect it.

Whatever you do, the GTVA Colossus will always be destroyed. So don't bother 
about it!

Mission Overview
----------------

* Protect the BASTION 
* Destroy Cancer 
* Destroy Scorpio 
* Destroy Libra 
* Destroy Aquarius 
* Destroy Leo 
* Destroy Taurus 
* Destroy Virgo

Intercept all bombers and fighters ... but you should especially focus on the 
bombers and the missiles they fire. Make sure you are able to intercept them in 
time. Fighters tend to do some damage to capital ships, but they don't carry 
Cyclops missiles, ... When you are intercepting the bombs, make sure you don't 
destroy them from close range. An exploding Cyclops at close range can seriously 
damage your shields.

Trebuchets are a good choice for this mission, mainly because of their range and 
power. But don't load them in both your missile banks. You have to make sure that 
you have enough missiles (you can't carry 400 trebuchets) to last this mission 
and the next one (you don't get time to reload or choose another ship).

Once the Bastion is safe, you are treated with a little FMV. 


4.42 Mission 40 B - Incoming Transmission

Primary objectives:    Protect Convoys 
Secondary Objectives:  Prevent Shivan warships to enter the Vega node

Ship and loadout
----------------

Default:

   Not applicable: you are flying with the same ship as in mission 34 and with 
the same (depleted) loadout.

Possibilities:

   Not applicable: you are flying with the same ship as in mission 34 and with 
the same (depleted) loadout. 

Mission Overview
----------------

* Destroy Sagittarius 
* Destroy THANATOS 
* Destroy Cancer 
* Destroy Gemini 
* Destroy BANE 
* Destroy MELCHOM 
* Destroy Scorpio 
* Destroy Libra 
* Destroy Virgo 
* Destroy Leo

This mission is easy to say the least. If you wait for 12 minutes inside the jump 
node and then jump out of the system, the game is over.

However, it's more fun to do some dogfighting for 12 minutes, than just sitting 
there and wait. Take on every fighter wing that comes into the system, but keep a 
special eye out to the bombers and the heavy payload missiles they fire.

At first you'll encounter bombers - followed by a wing of Dragons - and again 
nothing but bombers.

Make sure that, when the 12 minute deadline is coming closer, prepare to head 
back for the jump node. If you don't make it on time, you'll be fried by the 
supernova (only a small difference in the ending movie). Once they announce the 
supernova you have 50 seconds to reach the node and jump out of there. The first 
time, I didn't expect the supernova, but was able to reach the node in time (I 
was 7500 m away from the node). Unfortunately I didn't have any time left to do 
the jump.

5.   THE WEAPONS
=================

5.1 Information
________________

This gives you a nice overview of all the weapons you can use. There isn't any 
extensive information though, mainly because it's not available.

I've divided the weapons into guns and missiles. Just click any weapons to view 
some detailed specs. I've tried to verify the range of all weapons (which is not 
easy on flying targets in singe player). If I'm wrong, just mail me and I'll 
correct the error.  If someone has information about other weapon specs like 
damage, refire rate, ...  please contact me.

5.3 Missiles
_____________

With missiles you only have to check 2 things:

The type of missile (dumbfire, heat- or aspect-seeking) 
The kind of damage they inflict (area, EMP, ...). 

Also keep in mind that heavier missiles need longer reload times, are slow (and 
therefore should be dropped at max speed) and take a long time to lock on to a 
target.

6.   THE SHIPS
===============

6.1 Information
________________

This ship guide is far from complete, mainly because of the lack of info Volition 
provides. Therefore I have only selected ships that you'll be flying. This means 
that only fighter and bomber class ships have been mentioned ... no destroyers, 
cruisers, .... This also means that no Shivan fighters are mentioned (except for 
the modified Terran one). You'll encounter them in a few mission, but you never 
get the opportunity to fly it. I also haven't included the blablabla texts 
Volition has provided in the encyclopaedia.

You can find every ship listed per race and alphabetically. Just click the ship 
you want to watch and you'll get an overview of the ship, including a little 
snapshot of it.

There are abbreviations in front of the name of the ship, which contain some 
vital information. The abbreviation usually contains 2 components: a race 
component and a ship class component. If you combine both together you get the 
full abbreviation:

Y* = I know you can load Helios missiles (bearbaiting, high noon missions), but I 
believe you get a modified Ptah for these missions.  You get 4 Helios and 10 
Trebuchet missiles ... you should only be able to carry 1 or 3 trebuchets per 
slot.  So I must conclude that this is a modified ship and the numbers given 
shouldn't be interpreted as a standard.
