It will take a beating which is fine but you also want it to stay more or less operational so incoming ships attack it first. It is imperative that you make good use of chaining commands (holding the while you issue orders) to maximize the efficiency of your units.Īfter the initial positions are claimed, send your strike force just north of the barricade to intercept the first few waves and alleviate the stress on your north-west defensive position. Then, with the latter engineer claim the position immediately south of the barricade. Meanwhile, send an engineer to to claim the two defensive positions on the middle-right hand ridge and one to build a Mass Extractor to the immediate right. Send your strike force left as well to claim the two technology caches (one immediately left, one with the claimable buildings) to get a good jump-start on research.

Send an engineer to the top left to claim the buildings to the north. Immediately start building Mass Extractors with your ACU and move up left.

You are given a small force as well as an ACU and four engineers. *** Spoiler - click to reveal *** Complete the mission with the blockade having taken less than 25% damage.
