I have actually considered skipping ahead to the next mission, but I can't bring myself to do it. Other ships are the Khitomer, Zhukov, Magellan, and Devore. About half the time the Zhukov get's destroyed at Tezle 2 and doesn't make it to Tezle 1. I've learned if I skip the dialogue when I'm at Prendel and warp out immediately, I can generally get there in time to save the Zhukov, but not always. I also skip the dialogue through the whole Tezle 1 and 2 parts. Then about every 5th time I try the mission, when we all warp in to Tezle 1 the Magellan and Devore hit each other and explode, and I just re-start the mission. I've tried mostly to destroy the enemy ships. I tried once to disable a Kessok ship, but with my allied ships we ended up just destroying it. I thought about disabling one and leaving it alone, seeing if that would prevent other waves from warping in, but they just kept coming. Also, to add to my original post from yesterday, I'm facing at least 7 waves of enemies just to get to the shuttles coming back from the surface, both times that has happened. Generally an 8th one (or how many ever, but it's at least 7) warps in right as the shuttles are coming back, and my ship is so banged up I can't make it. I do pretty ok against 2 Kessok and 1 Galor, or Keldon. But when the waves warp in with a Custom Keldon I really start taking it in the shorts. I can survive usually, but I take serious hull and system damage fighting off those particular waves. And it seems like darn near every other wave after that has a Custom Keldon. Pretty detailed, but I ought to know. I've been trying this mission regularly.
