The GTCa Bulwark sacrifies itself to give the Washington a chance for the escape. Their death was not in vain, because the Bulwark was able to knock out Albertine's stealth system. We have to prevent that the Albertine can repair this system and so we attack a supply convoy with a complete new toy.
Hints:
Your Hermes Pod does not have any shields and its afterburner will not recharge, so try to avoid any projectile.
Try to destroy Aries and Cancer each with one detonation. This mission will be a lot easier without these fighters around, because Aries will intercept your Pod easily and Cancer will cause trouble in the second stage of the mission.
The Poseidons and Elysiums need only one detonation for destruction. The AWACS, Gas Miner and Cruiser need two drones at least. If you want to bring down the cruiser, try to damage it with your first detonation which bring down the Poseidon next to it and finish it off with the second. But sometimes you will need a third, too.
If your pod is shot down, do not worry, it will cause the same damage as a manual detonation. Your concern only should be that your pod is in the correct position.
After you used the last detonation and you were able to bring down at least six ships of this convoy, you will start the second phase and will fly your Stentor finally to eliminate the remnants of this convoy together with some wingmates. This should not be a very big problem, because all dangerous targets were destroyed earlier.
After you extinguished the convoy, two vasudan freighters will show up. Do what you want, it changes only the debriefing but not the outcome of this mission, but the "perfect" solution regarding to the debriefing is the destruction of both freighters.

Questions and Feedback in German and English would be appreciated, but is also possible in French, Spanish and Chinese, because my sister is able to read and understand it. But do not expect an answer in the same language.
