Desperate to raise moral, commander Sheb tries to give an inspiring speech to his squad mates.
Yes, Kharak is burning, but feel not ashamed! We too, would be dead if we had remained! We shall avenge the fallen! We shall save our frozen brethren! FOR COOOOKIES!
The other commanders on the bridge give him a weird look. After a short murmuring among them, a consensus is arrived upon that he is still recovering from the shock.

Commanding
Not bothering with formations, the nimble fighters and hefty corvettes swarm the capital ship still firing upon the cryo trays.
It is quickly destroyed, and its brothers are quickly neutralized by salvage corvettes. The salvage crews get whipped up into a chant.
MS: Those trays contain all that remain of our people. Without them, we will become extinct.
Sal-vage! Sal-vage! Sal-vage! Sal-vage!
Each tray supported one-hundred thousand people. So in total we saved 1/2 a million. If you guys had saved all six(something I've never achieved), I may have whipped up some kind of award system. Do something spectacular because of your orders, and I'll
try to draw an award.
We have reached the end of the mission. After this we hyperspace to a deep space asteroid belt. Any last build orders, or anything else, before we go?

Other
Reverse engineered by scrapping the first assault frigate we captured, we gained the ability to create a new ship, and upon further research, another new ship for a total of two.
Support Frigate: More heavily armored than its corvette cousin, it can heal ships externally by projecting a green beam or having corvette sized ships and lower dock directly onto its repair and refuel pads.
Giving support to Strike Craft in combat is the Support Frigate’s main role. It has ten Fighter docking pads and four Corvette docking arms for repairing and refueling. Although it is well armored, the Support Frigate has only one large turret for defense and is best not left alone.
Our engineers have codenamed the alien ship "Assault Frigate", and have designed our own version. We did not have enough resources to produce a prototype version, however.
Assault Frigate: Jack of all trades ship, it has no notable weaknesses, nor advantages. Its gauss cannons can track fast moving fighters and corvettes, while its static plasma cannon can bombard enemy capital ships.
The Assault Frigate is the most general purpose combat ship of the capital ships. It has four large turrets, which afford it excellent coverage, as well as two fixed plasma bomb launchers. While its turrets are too slow to track fast-moving Fighters, they can take out the slower Corvettes with ease.
We don't have that many RUs left, but is there anything else you guys would like to produce? Perhaps we could recycle some ships?

Overview
Ships
We lost a scout, but gained two assault frigates because of your guys' reckless salvaging. I also spent some RUs on a new resource collector.....oh, and somehow we gained two interceptors. I'm assuming I missed them last time.
Squads
Alpha Squadron: 10 interceptors lead by a cooking loving Sheb
Beta Squadron: 6 corvettes lead by Shadow
Ceti Squadron: 3 Salvage Corvettes lead by Japa.
Japa finely got his 3 salvage corvettes. Also, in my notes it says you wanted an assault frigate Shadow. You want to switch your command to that, perhaps with a few corvettes as escort? You guys can change your squad names too, they're not set in stone.
