After we were again unable to capture pirates, we have to protect civilists this time on their way to their new home. Because another failure this time would be a total disaster, our task is easy. We have to do a escort that is successful this time.
Hints:
You can not change your loadout in this mission.
At the beginning, fly around the marked arrival point and watch the dialogue between you and your wingmates, keep a little distance to the nav buoy, because the arrival point is exact and you risk a collision if you stay too near to it.
After the convoy have arrived, go into escort position and await the pirate attacks. They first target are the Triton transport as well their cargo, intercept them as fast as possible, because you can obtain a bonus objective if you are able to protect the transports with their cargo.
Eliminate the Hercules' wing first, because they are on direct attack course to the cargo, kill them with your wingmates before they even know what happens to them and only then attack the Perseus fighters, until the next Hercules wing arrives, which should be your highest priority until you killed all three waves.
After all Hercules and Perseus are down, you are already through this mission. They will be only two waves of pair Hercules Mark II, that do not have a chance against your wingmates, you do not even to kill them yourself. So you have only to wait until this fighters are down and all convoy ships arrive at their destination.
Now all your wingmates will left the area, and if you try to activate your jump drive, it does not work for unknown reasons. So you have to wait for a support ship, but before one is avaiable for you, a GTF Ares jumps in and want to kill you.
This guy is the hardest enemy in this mission, because he attacks you directly and fire several missles against you. So you have to close the distance as fast as possible and dodge the missiles he fires, with the help of your countermeasures until you are able to be right behind him. Take this opportunity to shoot him down, before he is again in a firing position.
After you killed your Assasin, wait for the GTS Smith and then land in the fighterbay of the outpost to end this mission.
