Does anyone know what was supposed to happen with the Antarctica mission? The general in charge said she was going to deliver a message to St K. After she left (I'm fairly sure she did, but the ship was off my screen if she did), I went back to St K, but there was no sign of the Antarctica.

helping Antartica defeat Commonwealth fleet, then docking at Antartica and go to the bridge gives you a blue orb.
Telling the Antartica captain that you have your orders, and it will start shooting you. Blowing it up, then docking at CSC Terra gives you the Lamplighter Anti-matter cannon, which is a non-ammo-using version of the Qianlong cannon, that you can use to take down the shields of the Iocyrm command ship.

it's very very near the end, in the system after Point Juno. I think you have to complete all missions from the Commonwealth Fortresses, then all the missions from the Commonwealth Star Carriers, then successfully defend Point Juno starbase and salvage CSC Europa in Point Juno system, before the CSC Terra in the next system will offer you the mission to destroy CSC Antartica.
also, note that equipping your ship with the TransSpace Jump system, and activating it when you're right on top of a stargate will bring you to a hidden star system with jump gate hub.
Get the IM90 Multi targeter, it will help heaps. It fires 3 omnidirectional ion cannon shots at 3 different targets. It helps with the Ares missions because it can destory one of the normal ships with like 2 hits.

also note that if you manage to get your hands on an antinide waste cannon, you can install it at a black market shipyard. It destroys any non shielded; non-radiation immune ships in one shot. The downside is that you have to wait for 180 seconds after you irradiate it for it to blow up. This is perfect for taking out the Antartica, you just shoot it once, run away, and loot after it dies.
