Bernilius Space (2nd Visit)

Bernilius Space (2nd Visit)

Fly over to the ship near Bernilius Sigma and talk to the ship. Accept the
offer for work.

( ) Defend the Terachnoid Convoy.

There will be 20 ships to destroy. It won't be too difficulty, so simply fly around destroying the ships. Once you've destroyed all 20 of them, a cutscene will ensue. After the cutscene, you'll have completed the mission.

(X) Defend the Terachnoid Convoy.

Fly over to the ship near Bernilius Alpha and Bernilius Gamma. Talk to the ship and accept the offer for work.

( ) Destroy 3 Spy Satellites.

The 3 red triangles on your map represent spy satellites. To take them down, you'll have to eliminate all 30 of the surrounding ships, and then shoot down the satellite itself. This is more tedious than it is difficult, as you'll be doing the same thing each time Start of by flying to one of the satellites, and roam around destroying the ships (ignore the ones with shields unelss you see them deactivate their shield).

Once the satellite disables its shield, shoot it down. The satellites don't have much health, so when you do attack them they probably won't have a chance to retaliate - you probably won't even have to use missiles. Repeat this for the other 2 satellites to complete the mission.

Here's a tip from Marcus Hagins if you're having difficulty:

"There is an easy way to defeat the satellites in space without having toblow up X amount of ships. Basically, after you activate the satellite (shield pops up) just run away from the battle until it deactivates. Then, turn around and slowly approach the satellite until you hear your missiles lock on, at which point then you're free to fire and blow up the satellite.

This makes the Smuggler's missions easier. This can be done to all satellites except the one near vela gamma (its detection range was written right). For this glitch  If you retreat from the satellites they deactivate but their invincible status never comes back, and if you damage them a little bit, activating them in the process, you'll notice that amount of damage you did is missing."

(X) Destroy 3 Spy Satellites.

There's nothing else to do here, so head somewhere else for more work.
