There is a lot to do in parallel in this mission. Based on a review of the mission file in the game files, i think the minimum required to trigger victory is:
-
Destroy all enemy HERCs/tanks (total of 3 talons, 1 disrupter and 1 minatour). This is because the 5th and final objective has an isSafe check in range 3000 m centered on Nav 4 – and all enemies are normally in that range ( i think!)
-
Destroy at least any 2 of the 5 dishes at Nav 1
-
Destroy the cannon at Nav 3
-
Visit Nav 2
The part that makes things interesting – as far as I know, there is no way to instruct one of your AI companions to attack a neutral target other than if you can target it directly. Meaning we need to go to Nav 1 (destroy dishes) and Nav 3 (destroy cannon) ourselves
Also – Nav 2’s check for victory only triggers once we -the player- are within 400m of the Nav 2 point itself. It wont trigger on an AI companion (likely as this mission in the full playthrough doesnt have any AI companions)
The cutscene at the start isnt skippable (as far as i know)
We are driving a bolo with universal ammo, beta scanner, alien anti-grav and a turbine booster. We’ve got dual APHID missiles, which have the longest range of any missiles.
Our AI companions are using Harabec Predators, two with particle beam weapons and one with shrike missiles (the shrike missiles go to Nav 2).
We start by sending one AI to each of Nav 1,2,3. We then snipe two dishes with our long range missiles. We leave it up to our AI compainon to destroy the enemy disrupter and talon in that area.
We then drive to Nav 2, again with our AI companion to destroy the two talons. We focus fire the cannon with missiles as we drive north towards Nav 3
From outside of 400 m range of Nav 3, we target and destroy the decloaking minatour. We want to enter within 400 m of Nav 3 just after we finish all the objectives, else we need to wait a few seconds for the bounds check to rerun
