HELP: Save Pepper on hard

[Bob Dole 007]

I see help for the hero achievement on this level but not much to use on hard. I'm not sure what armor to use. Seems like rapid fire repulse is good to take out the missiles...and one shot takes them out so high damage isn't really needed. Mobility is good to get through the towers to cause the power surge. Blast protection is nice since missiles try to take you out as you fly back and forth from reactor to tower. I have died three times in a row when a chat with Jarvis starts up saying there are "scatter missiles" or something...also that the "drop ships are coming in pairs now...wonder what the target is"

Any advice would be nice....as of now I take out drones and missiles while above the reactor and fly through a tower as soon as they come back online. I just focus on one tower to make sure it doesn't get destroyed as that's all I need for the reactor overload. I WANT TO BE DONE WITH THIS GAME!!!

bah....go figure....first try after the post and I beat it with only dying once and core reactor never getting up to 75% damage...looks like I had the right idea just bad luck lol

wow actually your suit suggestions worked like a charm. i just barely missed out on beating it on the first try, and the second try i hadn't hit the 75% damage mark yet, and only dying once. First of all i want to point out that i tried many different suits and the classic got me the furthest, but i went with the markIII and used these specs:

core - specter system3
repulsors - multi-phase gatling repulsor3
power - hec augmented3
auxiliary - vespid missles2(only used when attacking the tanks that were bothering my lone tesla coil
mobility - advanced core thrusters2

i used the same method of only bothering to save the lone coil by the water, which only really came under attack near the end when the others were already destroyed. my main thought was to destroy as many missles as possible, and leaving the gunships alone until all missles were gone. the blast protection on the specter is awesome and rarely got down to low health until that one time i died trying to fly into the coil. thanks for your tips bobdole007

Mike two words.......THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tried this mission with every single armor and that setup you had worked like a charm even though I was down to my last power cell halfway through it.
