The Vagyr will attack you immediately. Use your ships to block them from attacking the mothership. Build reinforcements as needed and try to wipe out the Vagyr as quickly as possible. Anti-capital ship ships are useful, but don't neglect your anti-fighters.

The initial wave shouldn't be too hard to dispatch. After they're dead, you'll have a little time to regroup. Keep building up one of those huge fleets I know you love. Make sure you're maxed out on destroyers and battlecruisers! I personally tried to max out everything before my offensive.

I recommend you save your game after you build up your fleet. It's likely you spent quite some time recreating the ships you lost in the last mission. When you're done, you're ready to make your big assault against Makaan.

Send out some probes to see just what you're up against. I found a Vagyr shipyard at 270 degrees (west) of the starting location. If you find such a group, it should be your first target because it'll set you ahead in the production field. Use everything you've got. There's no sense holding back, but I would recommend moving your fleet ships more toward the Sajuuk in the center of the map so that you can better reinforce them should the need arise.

All in all, this will be much easier than the last mission. Once the shipyard is destroyed, you only have to deal with the enemy mothership. With such a large fleet this should go real quick-like.
