I had heard on the forums and the like that a lot of people were having trouble completing this space mission with proton torpedoes equipped. Fortunately, it is very possible, and even possible to take out the bridge of the cruiser along with everything else.
First thing is explaining how the proton torpedoes actually work. Firstly, you can only use them on certain targets, in which you have to hold down the right click until you get a 'lock-on'. After releasing *with the lock-on still active*, the torpedo will fire and destroy whatever it is that was locked. Shortly after firing, it takes a small bit to reload another torpedo into the tube. During this time, *you may fire normal missiles at proton torpedo targets*. You may also fire normal missiles after running completely out of proton torpedoes. Keep in mind that the first is already loaded for you, while you have 3 in reserve.
Now, in order to finish Clouds of Vondoru including the bridge destruction, the easiest way is to use a torpedo for the bridge itself. I've not actually fully tried to destroy it with regular missiles, though in theory it is possible. But anyway, this just means that you have to destroy one of the shield generators with missiles instead. It's fairly simple, and this video should make the process self-explanatory.
People on vent are me and a few of my friends, hanging out while figuring out the best way to farm fleet comms. We want that Imperial Pilot set!
