Exodus

Introduction: GTI fighters have attacked the Krios. They are after all of your evidence you've gathered. Return to base and do what you can.

Mission Objectives:
Primary - Defend the Krios (impossible)
Primary - Escort Escape Pods

Recommended Ship: Ulysses only
Recommended Loadout: Prometheus (p1), Avenger (p2), Hornet (s1)

Note: Numerous players have reported flying different ships. The cause of this is unknown, however the proper ship is the GTF Ulysses.

Walkthrough: Don't waste your time defending the Krios. With a catastrophic hull failure, there isn't much to be done.

Make your priority the destruction of the Loki fighters that sick around after the Krios is destroyed. The best tactic seems to be boxing the Loki's in between your Alpha wing and Beta wings Medusa's.

Order Beta wing to guard the Escape pods. Order your own Alpha wing to break and attack. While the Loki's go after the Pods, you'll be able to pick them off. Those that escape the inital attacks are now in a bad tactical situation. When they blast past you, order Beta wing to open fire.

Caught between Alpha and Beta wings, the Loki's have little chance to make runs on the escape pods.

This is the easy part of the mission. After dealing with those GTI fighters, a Leviathan cruiser under GTI control warps in. Order both wings to attack the enemy fighters. Try and pick off at least one Loki in the first pass. Then go after the cruiser. Your own wings should be able to defend the pods while you keep the cruisers gunners busy.

Don't worry about doing damage to the cruiser, just keep yourself between the pods and the cruiser. Because of the AI in FreeSpace, the gunners will target you instead of the pods. By this time all of the pods should have warped out and there should be no Loki's left.

If your upto the challenge, take out that cruiser. It doesn't really matter because the cruiser doesn't even give you a bonus objective. Take it or leave it.
