Half of the runs of this mission are dead after the first ~20 sec – the starting basilisk can spawn in two locations (and the location of the last group of talons is determined in the same way). We want the basilisks to be on our right at the start.

We use a bolo with 2x shrike missiles, beta scanner, antigrav, universal ammo and a turbine booster

Our route is kept shorter (and therefore faster) by staying to the south of Nav Alpha, using the shrike missiles to dumb fire at the transport

Once again, AI RNG that our companions take out both basilisks at the start (we snipe one) and the two talons. Our AI are metagen seekers with shrike missiles, really fast (but have to lose a lot of weight, so have essentially no shields)
