I need an advice. I have been trying to clear "Duel of the Century" for a total of 6 hours (2 hours yesterday, 4 today). I am not using any other mods besides SWP, so I am trying to beat it the way it was designed to be beaten, without having other mods simplify the fight. I am clearly doing something wrong, but I just can't pin point what it is. The most I ever killed was 5 hyperions. After that I get surrounded by 6 and can't really do anything - I run out of flux, try to get some more, get overloaded because there is too much ordnance flying around. I also didn't touch the default loadout of excelsior as it looks like it is the best thing for the fight.
I've seen some videos on YouTube of people clearing the challenge, but those had at the very least 5 of the hyperions replaced with other mod ships, making it easier, while also being impossible for me as my computer can not handle this many mods at the same time.
So, can somebody give me an advice how to tackle this challenge? Like, which hyperions to take out first, which save for later, how to use the missiles (currently I save them for when I am low on flux and there is no asteroids around to give myself a quick reload). Maybe I should change something in the loadout?
