Is this T'lan Meth 425.0: No Survivors? You're probably letting some
of the Lampreys at Nav 1 get away and alert the alien fleet, which
will then send a bomber strike force against the Midway. Make sure you
go after all three Lampreys as soon as you reach the nav point, and
you shouldn't have any problems.
