It's a long, frightful night.

This modded mission builds up on the previously showcased Alicorn Special Raid II and is much, much harder thanks to a number of changes. Unlike II where your main problem was the buffed CIWS, here you will want to destroy the VLS as quickly as humanly possible to avoid getting cooked by Not!V2s. If you have trouble with the default SLUAV like I do, here you will have the pleasure of fighting even tougher ones that spit out laser. Sranking with over 50,000 points will be a daunting challenge.
