The primary objective of this mission is simple: destroy a long-range probe, either evading or engaging enemy fighters along the way. You're assisted by 2 gunboats, but they won't be able to keep up with you if you go full throttle towards the probe. 2 torpedoes easily take out the probe. The secondary and bonus goals are manageable in this mission, so long as you stay away from the calamari cruiser's weapon banks, and avoid enemy fighters' missile locks.
