If you look at the Internet strategy guide it gives some hints.  In
general toggle along until you come up with the first transport on your
monitor and toggle until the fourth (if I remember just hit <t> four
times).  Save him with <SHIFT-F4> and now toggle seven more times.  Save
that transport as <SHIFT-F5>.  Those should be the two ships with prisoners
on them.  Take them out as soon as you can.

One little hint is that the T/F only attack you, while the T/I attack the
rescue transports.  Taking out the T/F is secondary to the mission until
the rescue shuttles have completed their pickup.  Another hint is that if
two T/I are splashed and the last one damaged it invariably heads back to
it's mother ship.  This can buy you precious time as new T/I groups are
launched as soon as old groups are destroyed.
