Homeworld 2 Mission 11... No matter what I do I just can't complete this mission

[yai.da]

My latest stop came when I got 2 out of 3 core fragments and defeated all vagr forces.. Now I have one fragment out there that I can't pick up and that's where the mission just hangs up on and that's as far as I can go.. Help

[yai.da]

I kept trying for about a week and I've now given up on this mission... I know that I'm doing something wrong or dumb but I don't know what it is... So HW2 Mission 10 is about as far as I can go... I would appreciate any help or ideas from the crowd as to how to complete this mission...

i massed my force on the left, set to fight alot of capital ships and frigates, but with a decent fighter escort, have to move up togethere though so your fighters dont get wiped out to fast, destroying the shipyard first and working across to the rest of their fleet, rebuilding loses back at the mother ship, and deploying around the right to attack from the other side, dont forget to use movers their very effective

You need to use a defence frigate do its research so it also shields againts radiation have it guard a worker.

Workers goes to pick fragment and once he is close you activate defence field to shield from dmg.

If fragment is in bad postion worker might die as defence field expires but still make progress then just repeat it.

Maybe in rare cases fragment can glitch than it is better to restart the whole missions.

And I very highly recommend using players patch 2.3 as it is vastly superior basically an unofficial patch.

Yup, the defense frigate is how you're supposed to do it. Took me a few tries the first time. It's not a well-designed mechanic or objective.

Oh, yeah...this is annoying and it requires some micromanagement. Tell your defense field frigates to escort the resource collector, then tell the collector to get the fragment. The collector flies faster than the frigates, so you have to alternate between telling it to stop and go, to make sure it stays within the range of the frigates. Then you have the frigates activate their shields one at a time so the collector has enough time to grab the fragment. You can do it without losing any ships, but it just takes some effort.

I just finish this mission. Very annoying but with the communities help I got it done. Thanks.
