Act 3 Mission 09 - Raising the Ante

After witnessing the strange alien occurrence in New Bavaria and its devastating effects on the surrounding ships, it is made obvious that defences are going to be needed to hold off the invasion. A cache of antimatter has been located and would provide extremely useful resources in the defence efforts.

1) Via an e-mail, the League requests that you escort a freighter to a now abandoned base in the Batatas system.

2) You meet with the freighter outside their base in Formalhault and flies through into the Batatas system via the waypoint on their contact list.

3) Once in Batatas, a cut scene shows the progress of the convoy arriving at the station. The freighter then the abandoned antimatter and heads back towards the interstellar point.

4) The convoy heads off in LDS, however halfway to their destination the freighter hits an LDSI mine and it drops out of LDS.

5) Suddenly the freighter's captain radios that they're having some power problems, and that their engineer is attempting to fix it - the disruptors have affected every system on the ship and the main power system has gone off line. They will loose antimatter containment in less than a minute

6) Waves of Marauder fighters begin attacking the convoy. You must destroy these in order to stop them from destroying the freighter.

7) To help stabilise/increase the power to the containment field, you can tell any of your wingmen to dock to the freighter. Two ships docked causes the containment field to stabilise, less causes it to decrease. If the containment field reaches zero, the freighter explodes and the mission is failed.

8) After destroying all the incoming fighters, the power goes back online on the freighter and you are free to continue.
