Start harvesting right away because you probably don't have much of a fleet right now. Hopefully you have obtained all of the research upgrades from the previous missions. Improved manufacturing on your mothership and carriers is a huge help when you're trying to build many ships. You'll be instructed to send a probe to investigate the readings coming from the debris. When you do, it will be discovered that they are emitting radiation that is preventing the mothership from entering hyperspace. You'll be given the ability to construct movers, which can enter the radiation fields without suffering harm. Build up a hefty fleet using your carriers. A good mix of all types of ships is very useful here because the vagyr will use many frigates and fighters to attack.
Once you've built a mover facility (on your mothership) start pumping out movers. The maximum you can have in your fleet is ten. Don't send the movers to attack the enemy movers until you've reached full strength. While the movers are being built, research destroyers so that after they're completed you can start construction of your first destroyer.
When your movers are ready, send them to attack the enemy movers to the west (270 degrees) of your mothership. You might lose a mover or two but you can easily replace them. Don't just yet though, let at least one destroyer finish while the movers clear the other debris in the area. There are smaller chunks that don't appear with large blue circles on your sensors manager.
The Vagyr will probably be attacking you soon so you should keep an eye on your forces. Destroy any Vagyr on the move. The first carrier I took on was the one "north" of where your movers first attacked. Don't let them head any further without being at full strength, though! Clear all the debris and try to get to where you have two destroyers and six flak frigates. This group should head for the carrier after the movers have cleared the debris. The carrier won't be that difficult to take down.
Replenish your movers and head on to the eastern (90 degrees) side of the map. Clear the debris between your forces and the shipyard. Hopefully you can get a couple more destroyers in this time. Send them with an escort to eliminate the shipyard. The movers should keep on the move, hah, clearing debris while you keep your forces replenished. The final carrier is just as easy as the first two Vagyr production facilities. When you've eliminated it and all the debris marked by blue circles you're done with the mission. At the end of this mission I had a whopping five destroyers, that just kicks ass.
