THE THIRD MAN - A mission for FreeSpace 2: Derelict

Created By: Chris 'Kellan' Regan (chris.regan@btinternet.com)
Date: April 25th, 2000

DESCRIPTION:

Following on directly from Agatheron's mission 'Rites of Passage', Alpha wing, temporarily assigned to Luxor station must assist the GVCv Qualmotep in an unorthodox operation to capture the mercenary corvette Ithaca.

This is a demo mission for FreeSpace 2: Derelict, a forthcoming campaign by Agatheron and myself.  It's also my first public contribution to the project.  Enjoy!

HINTS/TIPS:

***This hints guide contains several spoilers, so I only suggest looking at it after playing and being stuck.  Use at own risk***

-Stick with the Horus.  It's so fast it'll outrun almost any missile, so if someone's after you, keep moving!
-Don't go all-out for TAG-ing the Ithaca.  There's plenty of time for that.  Protect yourself and your wingmen first.
-Don't go head to head with Grey wing...
-Stay away from the Ithaca once it's captured - you'll see why!
