Campaign special mission Ulthor - can't finish

[theravengod]

Hey folks,

I'm in the campaign at the Ulthor special mission and I destroy the stations (the big one and the small ones) ... but enemy ships keep spawning and I can't seem to win. Tried it several times and I either get wiped or lead ship dies.

Did anyone else experience this ? How did you approach the scenario ? I tried fighting the ships first but they seem endless. Tried destroying the station first, but again enemies overwhelm me. Any pointers ?

The enemies aren't endless, they just have a couple of ships in reserve.

As the map is always the same, a good strategy is to hide in the first gas cloud slightly off centre. The ships will rush at you and you can hammer them as they approach (try all stop and turn your broadside towards then as they approach).

Once all of the ships are dead, move up to the next gas cloud and hammer the defense platforms and space station with impunity.

Plus the solar waves can help you along as the computer is too stupid to hide when they come alone, make sure you're in a gas cloud whenever they come along.

Thanks. I'll try this right now.
UPDATE: Worked like a charm! Thanks

Use mostly cruisers or small support ships?
