We are now a warrior of the fleet and the war against the Aesdherians takes too long already. To show the power of our empire and that we can never be defeated, we have to destroy one of the big Aesdherian space stations to give our enemy a heavy blow in their morale and war efforts.
Hints:
Pack your bomber full with Damnation Bombs, you will not need any Anti-Fighter missile, because if you get in a situation that only missiles can save your life, you are already dead.
Do not launch the bombs until the Sabre's hull drops to 11 or 10%.
Use the "tentacles" of the station and the station itself for your cover. Destroy every turret you have the opportunity to do so.
You do not have to eliminate the beams yourself, your wingman are very capable to do it alone.
Do not attack any bomber, if you are under fire by them, use the station as cover, you does not have the right weapons to penetrate their strong shields.
Do not attack any fighter by yourself, except in the beginning. But after the initial wave, fight only the enemies which are attacking you or are in your way to the station.
Below the station, on the other side of the station's fighterbay, you are much safer against enemy attacks.
You do not have any command authority in this mission, you can not call for help or call for a support ship, so pay attention to your radar and the area around you and so do not waste your bombs.
Right after the last Damnation hits the station and bring the end over it, activate your jump drive immediately to escape the shockwave and the attacks of the remaining Aesdherian ships.
Patience for the right moment is one of the keys as a bomber pilot. Other pilots are responsible to increase the kill records this time.

Questions and Feedback in German and English would be appreciated, but is also possible in French, Spanish and Chinese, because my sister is able to read and understand it. But do not expect an answer in the same language.
