Reaching an allied aircraft carrier
This mission is also going to be very unique, because you'll be using an allied VTOL throughout the entire time. Before you'll proceed with your current assignment, take your time to familiarize yourself with the controls. You'll also be presented with a lot of hints. Make sure to read them. You should receive an updated task in a few seconds, so you'll have plenty of time to practice some of the basic maneuvers.
Defending the plateau
Map legend:
1 - starting area
2 - destination
Despite what you might think, you don't have to be in a lot of hurry and you don't have to keep up with other VTOL's. There's only one canyon area leading to your first target, so you shouldn't get lost. Make sure to maintain a high altitude, so you won't crash by mistake. You will have to lower your flight altitude a bit once you've reached a large bridge (screen). I wouldn't recommend trying to fly over it.
You should be able to reach the plateau in just a few seconds. Ignore the first group of aliens, because they'll be slaughtered in a short while. Instead, focus your attention on other enemy units. You shouldn't have any problems spotting them.
I'd strongly recommend that you maintain a large distance between the monsters and your ship, mostly because your VTOL isn't too agile and it would take a few seconds to turn it around. Use the machine gun, because you'll need the rockets for later. You should also consider pressing the side movement keys in order to avoid enemy fire.
You will have to be extra careful here, because one of the larger creatures will probably surprise you from the back (screen). Depending on how much energy you've got left, you may consider dodging its attacks or using one of the available heat seeking missiles. WAIT here once the battle has ended, because your ship will automatically regenerate its armor. Make sure you've got plenty of armor points left before you decide to proceed with the next objective.
