Hey,

  My soloution to this one (after one or two tries) was to customize a 'mech 
for the job.  I think I did something like a 60 or 55 ton 'mech with either
a 5 or 6 walk speed (I still think in terms of the board game -- that is, the
speed of the mech is five or six clicks on faster from 0).  Then I added 2
LRM15s, and Med. Pulses.  To win, Make it by the encampment of Falcons, using
the IFF code.  Then, when you enter the actuall terraformer core, destroy the 2
or 3 mechs inside.  No others will enter the compound to chase you.  Wander 
around to the south side of the core, blow open the vent, then blow up the core.
Next, run like hell.  (the reason for using a _fast_ mech) Flee the explosion
or you will bite it too.  

Good Luck,

Zog, Star Colonel, Clan Wolf
