OK, I give up.  I'm stuck in the mission where you are escorting a 
transport to a jump point and you're attacked by a Covette and some 
fighters and a skip missile has been fired.

I've tried lurking around the transport but can't get a bead on the 
missile as it comes in by gun or by my missile.

I've tried flying a Thuderbolt and charging at the Corvette at full 
afterburn and then launching a torpedo.  I can kill the Corvette but not 
before it seems to get off it's Skip missile.  While I'm racing back to 
defend the transport it gets hit before I get there.

Any suggestions?
