I finally managed to beat it. Holy shit that was insane. I basically had to make an LRM boat (the Bullshark on the right) with literally everything stripped out for ammo storage. Lasers, heatsinks, armor, EVERYTHING. Then I was always engaging at max range or from behind cover. Even then, the final section almost got me because Timber/Dire Wolf torso cores are annoyingly resistant to LRM missiles (their lateral torsos act as top armor). Everyone died but me. This was so incredibly hard that I'm pretty sure it wasn't playtested for solo players on max difficulty. Still glad I stuck it out, though.
