Act 1 Mission 7 - Showdown

Elmo Stepson e-mails you to say you forgot to give them the arming keys for the gunstars you retrieved in the last mission. They're setting the gunstars up and need the keys, so they ask you to deliver them to Hoffer's Gap.

1) When you've read the e-mail fly to Hoffer's Gap.

2) You'll notice that six gunstars now surround the base, and there's a fleet of ships flying round Hoffer's Gap.

3) Hoffer's Gap will ask you to arm the gunstars for them. To do this, dock to each gunstar in turn. Smith will give feedback on each successive dock.

4) Once three gunstars have been activated the Marauders attack. The group of Kong ships flying around the Gap become your wingmen.

5) Six marauder ships will approach, one to each gunstar. Their mission is to destroy the gunstars by disrupting them. This takes time, so you have a chance to shoot them before they destroy all the gunstars.

6) You also have a choice - shoot up all the marauders or dock to the remaining gunstars to get them online and help with the defences.

7) Once all the gunstars are destroyed (or after a time delay) the marauder mother ship will launch bombers that fly into Hoffer's Gap and bomb the reactor core. You must stop these fighters. Do this by shooting each fighter, and also by destroying the mother ship. You may have to fly into Hoffer's Gap to shoot the bombers. If Hoffer's Gap is hit too many times by bombers it will explode in a cut-scene

8) When all Marauders have been destroyed you've won.
