This mission introduces you to space combat and the Jackal fighter jet. You'll be tasked with defending the UNSA fleet from an SDF assault. The Jackal controls are intuitive but require practice. Use the left stick for pitch and yaw, and the right stick for roll. Boost (L1/LB) and air brakes (R1/RB) are crucial for maneuvering. Your primary weapons are machine guns and missiles. Lock onto enemy fighters by keeping them in your reticle and then firing missiles.
During the space battle, prioritize enemy fighters that are targeting your capital ships. You'll receive audio cues when a ship is under heavy attack. Don't be afraid to engage in dogfights, but also be aware of your surroundings to avoid collisions with debris or other ships. The mission will also feature a segment of zero-gravity boarding action, where you'll use your grappling hook and thrusters to navigate a derelict SDF destroyer. This segment requires precise movement and careful engagement of enemies in a 360-degree combat environment.
