These movies have nothing to do with TIE Fighter! Very disappointed.

The secret to solving this mission, btw, is to shoot at all the
enemies until they blow up and not allow them to shoot you or your
allies enough that they get destroyed.

I find that tactic works for most missions. ;-)

More seriously:

Mission 4 of Battle 3: "Guard Space Station NL-1"
Killing the y-wings first seems to be smartest thing.
Pumping energy into engines so you get to them before
they launch missiles probably helps. You may wish to
use missile instead of torpedoes too, since they are
faster and have a better chance of hitting fighter.
Order your wing-men (who will have torpedoes) to kill
the corvettes so you can focus on the y-wings. Disable
the shuttle when it appears, and order your wing-men to
ignore it lest they blow it up accidentally. Then try to
survive until the rest of the fleet arrives (the A-wings
are the biggest threat).

No, I didn't actually remember the mission. I just pulled open the
official strategy guide and summarized their advice.

I hope the thirty-year wait for an answer was worth it, original
poster.

;-)

maybe at least leave in the original question so we have a clue what
that poster back in the 90s was asking.

I can't. The person who initiated the necropost prior to my reponse
had replaced all the original content with their spam (which I
deleted). So all I had to go by was the subject title. I think I did
pretty good answering, given that limitation. ;-)

You could look it up on google groups if you wanted to (at least still
currently

)

Once I've finished this mission I have to wait for Transport "Runner" to
dock.
But it doesn't seem to want to dock with anything! It just circles and
circles...
What can I do?
Also is there any easy way to complete mission V battle (whatever)
where you have to kill half of the Tie Advanceds. It takes me ages
to swat those pesky Tie Advanceds - they move so quickly!
"

And of course lots of advice from others after that.
