OK, Daniele (a female?! - correct me if I'm mistaken), let's see: you don't have to set charges - the Rippers do that. All you have to do is to protect them. For this purpose, I'd recommend to stay close to the Mammoth and kill off any incoming fighters - don't bother chasing them too far as you'll get into the firing range of the ion cannon and you won't be able to help the Rippers anyway. 4 charges are needed to blow up the core. After the charges have been set, hit the A key (IIRC - anyway, the key for primary target), locate the charge (you'll only see one), fire at it and use the afterburners to get out of the blast radius. Does that answer your question? If not, feel free to ask - that's what the forums are here for! (Darn, I'm so glad SL is not forgotten yet!)
Oh, I forgot - to blow up the station, I suggest you find the place Steiner rams his Wolverine into and then blow up the core.
