Hints: General Hints:
During the third mission, make sure you have 3 corvettes and you fleet ready. Send 1 salvage corvette
to immeadatly start salvaging cryo trays, and 2 others to capture 1 assult frigate. Have your fleet
of fighters take it to the other assult frigate before it destroys any other cryo trays, and use
scouts as a discraction to the one you will salvage because they won't kill the frigate and they
can dodge incoming fire.
When you get to the second mission, do not dispatch a probe like fleet command tells you to. Instead,
build up your fleet, and the recourcers will set off the reaction later. Make sure you have a strong
fleet of intercepters, and be sure to have at least 3 salvage corvettes for the next mission.
A few salvage corvettes and a field frigate is a good recipy for capturing enemy capital ships.
Before you leave each mission, harvest all the remaining recources. They are sparce, and very valuable.
