PvE mission «Processing rig»

Intro

Sector: Former Federation sectors
System: Velorum
Location: Processing rig
Min. clearance level: 5
Ship ranks: 1-17

Task

Mining rig is a key object bringing profits to its owners. It's not just an important part of the sectors resource base — it is also used as an outpost. Cartel forces have been trying to capture it for a long time to reap the credits and move deeper into Federation zones.

Finally, when the Federation sectors were invaded by Aliens, the Cartel seized the opportunity to capture the station together with a cargo ship, and started building up defenses.

Losing the station means undermining the Federation's economic potential in the nearby systems, affecting the fight with Aliens. This is why regaining control of the station is an important mission trusted to the mercenaries.

Stages

To complete the mission, you must complete a sequence of goals. The mission supervisor is Lucas Horn.

Goal №1 - Destroy all (6) cargo ships with energy resources, coming to the aid of the defenders of the station.
Enemies - appear in groups along with the transports.

Goal №2 - Destroy all (10) missile launchers on the station and the field generator.

Goal №3 - Escort the transports (3) with extracted resources to the warpgate.
Enemies - appear in small groups at a certain stage of the transports flight.

Special enemies

Missile launchers are scattered throughout the complex and protected by small turrets.

The laser drill's beam does a lot of damage.

Gunships are recommended for this mission, both in firepower and mobility, perfect for all of the stages! Engineers are required for healing transports in 3rd stage.
