Dreadnaught: say hello to my little friend ...
the dreadnaught is a powerful arsenal, in fact the most powerful weapon u have in the game. u will witness this in the opening scene of this mission.
being so powerful, it fried a vaygr shipyard & burnt itself. being immobile & helpless, once again u have to take defensive measures.
have your carrier(capable of producing frigates), destroyer(s) & a bit of frigates to go the opposite direction of the dreadnaught. this is because nabaal will hyperspace in & by itself it's a slow wading duck. vaygr welcoming commitee consists of 2-3 destroyers, a few frigates & a number of fighters.
have your bombers ready as vaygr use hyperspace gates to enter the area. u know what bombers can do to hyperspace gates. make sure u have at least 8-10 squadrons to make bombing runs effective.
the rest (big mutha & all) should prepare to defend the dreadnaught. it's wise to tuck away your marine & defense field frigates as they're yummy targets for vaygr. actually u can use this info to your advantage. i leave that to u to figure out.
as usual harvest all u can & spare 3-4 resource collectors for dreadnaught repairs.
once nabaal hypers into the map, have the dreadnaught meeting it halfway for docking. order nabaal to get close to big mutha for ease of defense.
keep a lookout for carriers & use your bombers to kill the lone ones. u should know by now there is a vaygr shipyard around so again, bombers can do much damage to it when unguarded or lightly guarded.
once every little vaygr pest in exterminated, u'll be on your way to the next mission.
note: pause button is your best friend in homeworld. use it always.
