Update: I beat it!!!!!!!! I beat it finally a week ago. Forgot to post an update just for gigs. I ended up re-starting Mission 6 from the very beginning, found the quantum torpedoes in the derelict freighter, which helped out some. I then, after a few more try's, ended up beating the mission by using AI piloting set on Evade, and using Manual firing myself. For some reason after restarting the mission from the beginning, my allied ships fought a whole lot more effectively. They immediately went after all the Custom Keldon's, which helped me out alot. Anyways, I manually targeted all the Kessok ships right where the bow meets the stardrive sections. Sawed the nose off every time. They seem to be less effective after that! Anyways, I finally did it.
