The Kadesh took their ball and went home.

[Mofuji]

So yeah, I hyperspace into the garden and make Drone Frigs, because one of the good things about the engine change was that they're now useful. I harvest, the Kadesh come, fisticuffs ensue. I kick the crap out of their mothership twice and get told the core is charged. I quick dock, it fails, I'm told to defend the fleet.

So I'm sitting there waiting and nothing happens. I go out hunting and all I find are two fuel pods that I cannot attack. The Kadesh are simply GONE. I go back to harvesting with guards in case they come back... but they never did.

They took their ball and went on home, leaving me stuck. The only option left is to restart the whole mission...

[Sammi79]

Leave the Needleship alone until the first timer is up.

[Paladin]

I destroyed 4 kadesh motherships that mission... and they kept coming back...

[Natjur]

The mother-ship ships should hyperspace out when down to 20% health or heal back up to 20% if they can not hyperspace.

They should not be kill able until the first time you try to hyperspace. After that, you should be able to destroy 2 and have the 3rd escape.

If you below them all up, your stuffed and need to restart the mission
