At least two workers will be needed to salvage each Taiidan resource collector. The collectors must be damaged first, but you can issue the salvage command before they are. The workers will wait until you have damaged them, then begin their salvage operation. Make sure you escort your workers.
A set of radar pings on the sensors manager indicates the position of the Taiidan resource collector group. The resource collectors are guarded by a group of assault frigates and ion cannon frigates. The greatest danger, though, is a gravity well generator. This device can create a gravity well around itself that operates like a shield to protect nearby vessels. For instance, if you attempt to assault the group, the gravity well generator will activate and stop all your units in their tracks - easy pickings for the assault and ion cannon frigates!
The best way to deal with the gravity well generator is to use a ramming frigate. Use the ramming frigate to take the gravity well generator and shove it away from the frigate and resource groups. Plus, the ramming frigate will eventually destroy the gravity well generator, ending the problem entirely.
There are also a few support frigates with the frigate group that will attempt to stop your salvaging and maneuvering of the gravity well generator. Your group of ACVs can make short work of these frigates, however.

Before you end the mission, locate and harvest the crystal asteroid, an excellent source of abundant resources. |
To prepare for your battle, build at least four workers - it takes two to grab and salvage each frigate or resource collector. Assign the workers into two groups of two. You'll want your large ACV group from the previous mission; you can either place them into two groups or keep them as one large group. Place a ramming frigate in its own group. Finally, you may want a mimic or recon to scout the situation before you arrive.
Keep the workers back and advance the ramming frigate and ACVs into the fray. Target the gravity well generator with the ramming frigate. Once the gravity well is out of position, move in the ACVs and destroy the support frigates. Now, the frigates and resource collectors are exposed.
At least two workers will be needed to salvage an Imperial frigate. The frigate must be damaged first, but you can issue the salvage command before it's actually damaged. The workers will wait until you have damaged it, then begin their salvage operation. Make sure you escort your workers.
Though you only need one Imperial frigate, it's much more beneficial to get two - one ion cannon frigate and one assault frigate. If you're really patient, you can snag even more of each type. Once you have cleared the gravity well generator and destroyed the support frigates with the ACVs, send in the two groups of workers. Assign one group to salvage an ion cannon frigate and the other worker group to salvage the assault frigate.
