I didn't have any problems when doing this in my Nova with HEPTS. I found that targetting them in advance and firing before I could actually see them seemed to work most of the time. There were one or two that took a couple of attempts.

Stick in there.

I completed the mission in a Nova. All it takes is some patience and a bit of skill. Probably could have done it in a Barracuda or Perseus.

Keep trying!

I did it in a Nova with Hept and Ion Disruptor (Yeah, I know... :oops: useless for that mission). Still succeeded... :D

I used a dragon ass blasters set to attack my target. Good job I had a pegasus with me for the maneuvering (sp) bit

I finally got bored enough to complete the mission
by i used my Pyphon told front guns to attack my target and other turrets to attack all enemies.It still took 3 tries to get all of them in 1 go.
I tried doing it wih my Nova first. Got down to 2 on a couple of occasions but i was getting massive slowdowns. So Its not hard if your patient.
Maybe try using some PSG's or Hornet missiles

I would guess that doing this in 1.4 will be significantly harder than in 1.3. I didn't even notice the khaak in 1.3 but I have a feeling that unless you are in an M6 or above you wont be able to do this in 1.4.

PSGs would do short work of the tiny objects you have to take down during the mission. It is now harder in v1.4, so I would think the easiest way to do this is to have an Osprey + Mandalay (with 5MW shield) combination. The Mandalay is used to get into the tiny cove required to get the father out, and the Osprey to take out the special targets at the end of the mission.
Now that said, before anyone says PSGs are cheat or overkill, this is a desperate measure for a desperate player.
