It's one of the extended missions, but is also quite easy! Despite the Tetrapods and LCs being potentially dangerous. They do stagger pretty quickly to multimissiles, at least the tetrapod does due to it's wide profile and slow speed.
Anyways, you can wonder if you can get into the LC bay on the ship. Because of course, blowing them up before they can deploy, heh heh heh. Definitely your style.
