WD EWAR L


Frigate 4 x Frigate Federation Libertus/Manica
Destroyer 3 x Destroyer Federation Arcus/Pelekus Last destroyed triggers Wave 1

Killing a random battleship will trigger Wave 2, and killing the last battleship in Wave 1 will trigger Wave 3.

The Federation Hexeris orbits at 50-55km, and has an optimal range of 45km.

The Elite Federation Mataras and Elite Federation Manicas should be dealt with first, as their sensor dampening and web/scram capabilities can greatly reduce both a ship's combat effectiveness and ability to escape.
