No, looks pretty normal, right? This is potentially the only time you'll have a normal looking HUD in this entire mission. So you're in a nasty part of the nebula, following a breadcrumb trail of nav buoys, looking for the coolest guy Freespace's entire universe has ever produced. Combine it with a decent hull, shields, and manueverability, and the Erinyes is a solid choice for any mission. Relatively small secondary capacity for a heavy fighter, but eight guns is a nice enough payload in and of themselves. Equipped with eight of them, an Erinyes can two-shot several Shivan fighters, though you have to be careful with your aim (fire in 'bursts', basically) because it will drain your weapon capacitors really fast. It also fires faster, though it has a shorter range. The Kayser does almost 32% more damage to armor, 15% to shields, and 24% more to subsystems per second than the Prometheus S. On the upside, you get access to not only the Erinyes heavy fighter, but also the UD-8 Kayser main gun. You'll need to buy them some time as they complete this procedure. Our transport will dock with the Grall and extract the survivors. Do not deploy the recovery craft until you are ready. Once you locate Snipes, call in Lambda 1. The EM storm will make aspect lock difficult to acquire and maintain, so we recommend you loadout with Tempests and Rockeyes. These buoys are the only chance we have of finding Snipes and the Grall. Recon reports heavy EM interference, scrambling sensors and communications. This sector of the nebula is extremely volatile. His transport has been incapacitated, and there's a high probability he's already a goner. Your wing will be inserted at that position to find the Grall and make contact with Snipes. Recon located a Pharos navigation buoy not far from where Snipes's transmission was received. Listen to the Mission Briefing here / Mirror This CB includes a transmission from Snipes, and thus you're just going to have to listen to it because he is awesome and I said so. Listen to the Campaign Briefing from SOC here / Mirror Watch the Campaign Briefing from SOC here / Mirror You miss out on some kills, but you also cut like 70% of the mission time out. Thankfully there is a shortcut for those of you who are stuck in this boat. You will probably hate trying to navigate via radar and guesswork in the nebula. This mission is not for those who do not have a good sense of spatial awareness.
