Video guide to mission Starbase Blockade

Mission Objectives

Protect freighters for 15 minutes

General Tips

Freighters will begin spawning at random, at any of eight waypoints. Following each is a large squadron of enemy ships. You must engage these ships and buy time for each freighter to reach the safety of the starbase.
The number of Fleet marks earned is equivalent to the number of transports saved.
The enemy faction you will face is randomly determined by the game engine. The more advanced the fleet starbase is, the more factions the game will choose from.
- Tier 0 = Federation, Klingon, Orion
- Tier 1 = Gorn
- Tier 2 = Nausicaan, Tholian, Fek'Ihri
- Tier 3 = Borg
- Tier 4 = Undine
Zoom out on minimap so you can see all 8 spawn points. Or have one team member with good sensors announce compass directions (N, NE, N, NW, S, SE , S, SW)
Focus on enemies attacking the freighter. Draw their fire away from freighter.
Holds, wells, rifts, tractor beams etc are all useful here.
Heal the freighter with shield or hull heals.
If freighter dies move on. There is no point fighting remaining enemies.
When the freighter is safe, meaning all enemies dead or another ship defending it until warp out then move on to next freighter.
Freighters will warp out after docking with station progress bar is completed.
