That mission has no diffiulty its just luck of the draw, time the Ds routes perfectly, get people out of squad to clear normal mantis and the mine fields, then only attack the mantis that attack hornblower

go after the ones he attacks, kill the custodians and rocketeers first, marauders are easy.

i used to think it could be done this way but the mission is bugged.
I have tried it over 20 times and the same thing happens.When I kill the rocketeers and only custodians and marauders left,the custadians can kill hornblower in 1 shot even when he has full heath.They can even kill him when his shield is activated.

Bugs dont just get immediately fixed. If there is no ticket on it You will need to send 1 in so the Issue may be tracked. Will get a GM on the Mission asap to try & verify what is going on. Also helps to know which Server & System as well as correct Mission name

I keep trying it over and over.
It is IMPOSSIBLE!!! I tried it solo, in sq, in sq with all engs, not the smallest chance to do it.

It should be bugged, there is no other way.

If I cant even kill one mantis with zp blasters and best sol rockets, I wont be able to kill them all before they kill hornblower even if using better items.

It is possible to do this mission, of you know how to work around the problems. Basically, you have to mis-use the programming of the AI.

And there need to be 2 people in the squad. No more no less.

Doesn't take anything away from the fact that Hornblower's AI in this mission is so damn bad, it really is an impossible mission to do the way it should be done.
