Even though a seeker is faster, using a bolo avoids slowdowns caused by the HERC jumping off terrain and shutting down briefly. Our bolo has 2x shrike missiles, beta scanner, antigrav, universal ammo and a turbine booster

A trick here is to get better at controlling the AI, they aren’t present in this mission in a full playthrough so they seem to get stuck on things. Sending them due west at the start seems to have the best luck. Our AI are metagen seekers with shrike missiles, really fast (but have to lose a lot of weight, so have essentially no shields)

The rest of the map is trying to not shoot missiles into the terrain, and hoping our AI destroy all 4 basilisk and the cargo carriers as fast as possible
