In 1.02, I've succeeded. Twice. Given how difficult it is to do so now, I think I'm now an expert in the field of savingcharonkorolovology.

What you need is: a shuriken/dual particle or better & volkov.

The moment you enter, keep doing q->b; he'll say 'No target', but eventually the charon will show up in a few seconds, and he'll go after them. Don't bother with them; volkov will put in a big enough dent in their ranks they won't be as much of a problem. Go for the drakes. They will arive after the main attack group, usually in a different direction than the two prior attack wings. Go about 50ls out from the korolov in approximatly where they should come and do a loop; you should see them as they approach. The moment you are in range... Have at them. let loose everything you've got. Having missiles is a plus.

I've managed this once, and used a very similar tactic. it definitely works...if you're lucky and/or skilled.
