It can be done, although you will not be awarded in any way for the heroic deed, other than an inflated ego, of course. Don't waste your time taking down the Shivan ships, though. Don't give them orders, otherwise they will die very quickly.Īgain, as with almost all non-targetable ships, you can actually target the elusive foe by targeting one of your wingmen and then pressing 'J' (target my target's target). Your wingmen are quite capable of holding off the Shivans until you are done. 2 will have nothing and 4 will have Sensor Arrays. Command will order you to scan the remaining cargo. Don't waste your time attacking it as it has one wing of Manticores guarding it. The Taranis is invulnerable, so you can't eliminate it. This will trigger the arrival of three wings of Shivans (2 Manticore and 1 Scorpion) and the Taranis cruiser.

When the fireworks is done, there will only be six left when there was 36 to begin with. When you get reasonably close to the cargo, some of the cargo containers will begin to explode. Another Dragon will enter and exit quickly. A Dragon-class fighter will jump in and quickly jump out. When you enter the mission, your wingmen and Command will chat. This will enable our freighters to collect the cargo after you have scanned it. Proceed to the cargo depot quickly, and eliminate all sentry guns. You will jump in approximately six kilometers from the cargo depot. Scanning these containers is your secondary objective. A short range scan of this group should provide crucial data needed to adjust ship sensors to attain radar lock on Shivan fighters. Further reconnaissance indicates another container group may contain parts for a Shivan sensor array. A short range scan of these containers is the primary objective in this operation. They appear similar to those used to give the Shivans their shielding technology. Long range scanners indicate that some of these cargo containers contain unusual electronics. Their offensive activity in this system is at a minimum and we do not believe they will make a serious attempt to defend this depot.
