I think that those methods will just prolong your agony, as Solbase
sends you out again and again, as the Berserker gets closer and closer
to Earth (eventually reaching the Earth, and blowing it up)

This is the correct method.  I believe you have to hit it with all 4
proximity mines to get a response from it.  Solbase will then tell
you to come back, but from then on, the Berserker will follow you
wherever you go.  Eventually Solbase will leave it up to you to shake
him off your tail.  Then it's time to illustrate to the Berserker
why it may be better to have a higher thrust/mass ratio...
