The second stage
Requires players to destroy 4 Major Calibers, they cant attack but are also defended by lots of plasma turrets, taking those down will make the job easier and it's good for bonus points!
The third stage
Requires players to take down 3 missile turrets, they have different characteristics:
The first one fires kinetic missiles at a fast rate,high velocity and medium damage. The second one fires heavy thermal missiles, very slow firerate, medium velocity and very high damage. The third one fires nuclear missiles, medium firerate, high velocity and high damage, it also leaves a radiation cloud dealing thermal damage over time.
Strategy
It is recommended to take an interceptor for fast capture especially a Recon ship. All of the missiles can be taken down by the Guard ship's missile shield. The turrets can be easily out-turned even by frigates. It is not possible to attack all of the 3 turrets at once as they are protected by a powerful static shields, they keep alternating and going one by one, the shields will be deactivated for a brief amount of time for the players to destroy it as fast as possible or otherwise they will have to wait until the shield deactivates again.
