Pesonally, I hate leaving things to my teammates, so I always take an Ursa in the previous mission.
Not a bad idea, but it makes
The Great Hunt a hell of a lot harder. I personally go with a Herc with Banshee in the twin bank, Disruptor in the quad, and whatever missiles. This setup can usually solo at least one reactor, so the Ursas have less to deal with. Twin Banshee's gonna have some trouble during
The Great Hunt, but it does impressive work on naked Shivan hulls during
Good Luck. The biggest challenge is to rush through
The Great Hunt with as much hull integrity and as many wingmen intact as possible.
