Help, I suck!!

I am stuck at the joining forces mission (i think thats how its called). Its the one in which I assault a marauder base with the help from some Stepsons ships.

Now... I keep gettind destroyed again and again!! The worst is the fact that IWar wont let you save unless you are on your base!! The fact is that its VERY BORING to everytime you die have to travel to Stepsons Meeting... hear whole conversation, long travel to Marauders Base, etc... if at least it was possible to save anyway... I would save just a bit before arriving at the Marauders Base...

Check out the cargo boxes floating around the station... wow. Wouldn't want one of those to bang into the station too hard... Might go boom.

Deal with the gunstar first or it may destroy the incoming pod.
If you are patient, a single REM missile detonating next to the gunstar starts to move it out of the scenery.
Mine has recently been seen in new bavaria.

If you run out of pods - assuming you didn't get some practise in pod throwing in I-War1:D - then just do it the hard way:
circle around the station avoiding it's defence and nibble her down.
It takes some time...
