This mission wasn't a major one necessary to progress in the game, so it wasn't mentioned - and actually there seems to be quite a bit of detail missing. I did the Joint Forces mission, where you lead an assault on a marauder base protected by a Gunstar, and the guide tells you how to do destroy the base, but omits that if you then destroy the Gunstar there's a pile of valuable cargo you can then get Jafs to collect. It also doesn'`t mention what your reward from the Stepsons, is which is apparently an assault cannon and some ammo - but I can't find that in my inventory despite being told I'd been given it. :-/ The actual mission I was having trouble with I've now done, I just needed to wait until I had some more firepower, but at the time you are encouraged to undertake the mission, there's no way (at least at my skill level) you can beat the 3 cruisers protecting the fuel hauler. Which seems a slightly dodgy regarding the game's design. Still, I'm having a lot of fun with it though.
