XW-F 5: Star Destroyer Alley
Battle Information
Battle Reviews
Once, long ago (definitely before 2003-10-07), there was a boy who loved blowing up Star Destroyers in X-Wing. He also loved flying his B-Wing and dogfighting for hours on end. That boy made this mission, which he loved very much because it let him do the things he loved to do, even if one day that boy would become a man who would find the whole thing a bit tedious. But the boy loved it even though he knew it wasn't very great, and years later did some minor updates to make it qualify as an EH mission so that it would always be there. For that boy, I will give it a score that sits somewhere between what he thought of it, and what I think of it today...
nonsense..........................................................................
This mission is absurdly long test of your patience and wrist endurance. It puts you in a flight of B-Wings to knock out four ISDs. Of course there are fighter escords too. Initially it's 'just' 16 of X-Wings and A-Wings... After which there come 16 of Y-Wings and another 16 of A-Wings. On top of that towards the end there is a seemingly endless wave of T/As coming in flights of four. I reached wave 5 before I had to run for my life... I can see some positive value of this mission being a heavy assault one but it's just waste of time the way it is now.

Installation Instructions:
X-Wing CD Installation: Download and install XCD from the SCO Site (http://sco.minos.net), files
archive, the editors section. (6k.) This will let you run custom missions. There is a full guide
available at the SCO site as well.
Put Waistem.BRF and Waistem.XWI in your new "C:\Mission" folder and use XCD to start X-Wing CD.
Create a new pilot based on your pin and the battle's type and name. For example: 2883tc01.plt if
I were flying the first XW-TC battle.
Fly the first "Historical Combat" mission for the "X-Wing".
note: other custom missions in your mission folder will be overwritten.
X-Wing 95/Disk Installation: Run full install of the game so the mission files will be on your
hard drive. The game will take its mission information by preference from the hard disk, but might
still give a warning. In that case - Ignore.
Locate your X-W Directory and open the folder labeled "Mission", or "Classic" in X-W95. Copy the
*.xwi, *.brf files of this custom battle into it.
Create a new pilot based on your pin and the battle's type and name. For example: 2883tc01.plt if
I were flying the first XW-TC battle.
Fly the first "Historical Combat" mission for the "X-Wing".
note: the original mission and briefing in your mission folder will be overwritten, so back them up.

Plotline:
EH Intel has discovered that Rebels on the borders of EH space have set up a construction facility for Republic-class
Star Destroyers. While the base is small, it is quite operational, and within a week or two it will have produced four
brand-new, fully operational Star Destroyers. This base must be stopped!
Flight 3 of Intruder Squadron has been given the task of hypering in and taking out each and every one of these Star
Destroyers-in-construction, as well as all of the base that is being used to make them!

Note: Usually X-Wing95 won't let you click to load up the hints. So, I've had it so that what you do instead is simply
wait 10 seconds, and then the hint page will appear. But while I have included hints within this mission's briefing,
knowing how to beat the mission makes it much easier and less fun. Try to avoid using them the first couple of times
and let yourself enjoy the free, eh? :)
