Freespace 2 mission 24 : Bearbaiting

Bearbaiting? That ain't no bear D:

Anyway, this mission is fun. Your objectives are, first, to destroy at least 2 of the 4 main beam turrets on the Sathanas. As you can see, you can blow up all 4 and the Flak cannon with relative ease. Just call the support ship as soon as the mission begins, but don't let him refill you until you're out of Helios. Normally, a double shot of Helios should take care of one turret, but sometimes they won't be direct hits. If it's at 10-15%, finish it with Trebuchets, otherwise, well try another helios, or just spam all your Trebuchets.

Also, when Command tells you to get out of the way before the Sathanas jumps, well DO IT. If you get stuck in front, chances are you'll be rammed and killed. No fun.

Second part is dealing with the Demon.Normally you should still have some wingmates left and they can help. Don't hesitate to call in Epsilon wing since they're just waiting for your call. The turrets aren't hard to destroy, just make sure not to waste some Helios by shooting them while the turret is shooting at the Thebes. IF everything goes well, the Thebes or another wing will take care of the Beleth's engine and at that point you can just finish it off slowly.

I'm not sure whether you absolutely have to destroy the Beleth or not though, but whatever, it's not hard. When it's done, just Trebuchet the crap out of any fighters left, those missiles one hit kills them.
