Mission briefing

Even in times of conflict with an external enemy we still find ourselves in competition with other “friendly” corporations. One such corporation is providing security for a repair outpost. They got that security contract by underbidding us. Go to the site, destroy their entire security force, then destroy the repair outpost. With such an abysmal failure on their record, they'll never get another security contract in this sector again. And who knows, maybe we'll get the reconstruction contract for the replacement outpost as well.

Tips:

• Use two Sensor Boosters with ECCM scripts to reduce chances of being jammed. (Only if needed, sometimes jammers never spawn.)
• Kill the Recon Ships (Jammers) before triggering the third wave.

Blitz:

• Destroy all ships in group 2 (Blackbirds only, not the Moa), and destroy the repair outpost.
  
• If second wave is triggered, continue to focus on Blackbirds until mission completes.
  

Enemy cruisers in the first pocket stay at 35km range.
