Epic/Walkthrough

Mission 1: Breakthrough
The first mission is a two-part one, both in space and on planetary surface.


 * 1) The first part is extremely easy and helps you practice the controls. You are armed with Lazer (99) and Photon (25). Just enter the minefield (use the radar on the lower right for reference) and try to maintain the same course, shooting some mines with your laser. If you take too long, Rexxon reinforcements will arrive. When you reach the other side of the minefield, you will get a "Well done!" message. Your mission is a success.
 * 2) The second part is on the surface of Amragen Nine. You are armed with Lazer (99-20), and Photon (25-10). Find the blinking red dot on the map which signifies your location on the map and calculate your directions. Toggle the "Photon" weapon. You have to destroy the gigantic structure "Trkstation" which is found on the center of the map. At first the Trkstation is indestructible. Notice 3 railways that lead away from the structure. Follow the leftmost one. You will end up in a big structure which your radar identifies as "Generator". Destroy it with your photons, now follow the same lane or fly directly to the center of the map to get back to the Trkstation. Finish it off with your photons.

Mission 2: Wipeout
The second mission is also a two-part one, located on Tarrun and Statillica. Both are planetary missions. However unlike what the manual says, the mission begins on Statillica and ends on Tarrun.
 * 1) On Statillica armed with Lazer (99-20-10) and Photon (25-20-10); once more you have to locate yourself (blinking red dot) on the lower right of the map, and find your way to the centre of the map. You will see railways diverging on that point. Follow each one of them, which ends on a structure called "Minehead" and destroy it with 3-4 photons. You can ignore any other structures identified as "Unknown". Return back and follow the next lane etc. You will have to destroy 5 Mineheads for the "Well done!" message.
 * 2) You are now on Tarrun armed with Lazer (99-20-20-10) and Photon (25-20-20-10). You begin on the left of the map (don't be confused by the big red dot on the center). Lower your altitude and try to locate structures or lanes. Soon enough you will be attacked by Rexxon fighters. Their mistake is that they attack in formation, and if you calculate the distances right, you can easily shoot them down with your lasers before they get close. On the map, notice a circular 'ring' around the center, which you can actually see on the ground as a pair of parallel lanes forming a circular polygon around the whole area (the game engine does not support circular shapes so this 'ring' on the map is actually a polygon in the game environment). Follow this pair of lanes and notice structures that look like towers and are identified as "MCP". You have to destroy 3 or 4. Unfortunately there are no specific landmarks to help you locate the MCP towers so just fly around, fighting with any Rexxon fighters may come to you. Again, ignore all the "Unknown" structures which do not help with your mission.

Mission 3: Glory
The 6th Imperial Fleet engages the human convoy in the Highrec system. You are armed with Lasers (99-20-20-20), Plasma (10) and Photon (25-20-20-10).

You can find the Rexxon forces at the "south" of the map. You just have to keep killing Rexxon fighters until the C measurement goes to 100%. It is not clear how many are there, but each kill gives you about +3%. Success depends also on the AI defenses so you might have to kill 30 or less.

The biggest problem is your fuel. There are 18 fuelpods but it is almost impossible to pinpoint their locations.

Notice that if you fail to kill your quota and the time is out, you will still be allowed to continue the game, however you will see a 'losing' debriefing message.

Mission 4: Blast Objective
Your objective is to destroy the magma cannon on the planet Potead. Defenses include CRAB fighters and Armtracks. You are armed with Lazer (99-20-20-20), Plasma (20-10) and Photon (25-20-20-20)

The cannon is at the center of the map. Just locate it (press HOME or HELP for directions) and as soon as you see it, fire at will.
