Narratively speaking, I feel like this battle hits it out of the park. Really enjoyed the storytelling and the effort put into it. Mission design itself isn't always perfect and most missions are a cakewalk, but still found the whole endeavor quite enjoyable.

Even though I wasn't able to follow the story I could appreciate the effort put into it. The missions themselves are not overly difficult, and are not your standard 'fight off several waves of enemies' missions.

Really enjoyed the story throughout the entire battle. Great use of the pilot briefings to tell the story. The missions were nice and varied along with giving me the opportunity to fly two different ships.

Storyline:

Pretty interesting storyline. You get a lot of narrative and context and I find it exquisite to do it on TIE as you have to imagine how this is all happening. You get a lot of immersion and enough information about what is going on. Each mission led well to the next one in terms of story.

Technical aspects:
Pretty well designed , balanced and with enough variety and challenge even if you're flying a MIS you don't feel you're invincible. You have to fight your way out.

Tactical:
Oh yes, I had to be careful and had a challenge here. In some missions I had to bring my A-game for SP. Your situational awareness will serve you well here. Plan to focus on inspection. You wouldn't want to accidentally die without inspecting crafts , eh?

Briefings:
Good briefings, good grammar. Commander briefings provided A LOT of context and you are left wanting for more.

All missions are pretty fun. Recommend this battle 5/5. I'm left wanting to know more of this virus and the creator left that window open. If I could, I'd give it more points. Loved it!!

Flawed, but good. Some nice missions there like Mission4 and a dreadful one, such as Mission 3. I would encourage everyone though to read the briefing and debriefing. Our creator here at least put the right amount of effort and trust me it takes time to make proper briefings. So reward him by reading through it plus it's a semi-interesting storyline. After the last mission make sure to read the debriefing.

One of the better battles I've flown so far with a pretty interesting storyline. Missions were varied pretty well between starship assault, inspection, and fighter dogfighting. None of the missions were all that difficult on Medium, never really felt like I was fighting for my life or that mission critical crafts were in trouble. Can't say I was blown away by this battle, but overall it was well-polished, had a coherent and easy to follow storyline, and felt like a solid battle from start to finish. High recommendations for this one.

The missions are not bad. To the contrary, they are mostly fun. But the story line makes little sense. How are you re-armed for every mission if you're lost in space? Where's the connection between the missions? Also, and I had to look that up in the mission editor, in mission 2 you have to grind the ISD, that you're supposed to protect, down to 50% in order for "Probe Hangar" to appear so you can destroy it. Could have been a high 4 stars but so only 3.

I played this on easy, without cheats; very doable battle for everyone out there. Plot was interesting throughout. Make sure to keep an eye on your comms, they’ll keep you on the right track.

I played on Easy with cheats. This battle definitely had an interesting storyline and missions that varied enough to be different from each other. The missions definitely seem like they could be difficult on higher difficulties.


I really like the plot in this one. It is well thought out. The dialogue is also good. Would definitely recommend it for these reasons and that it is fairly straight forward to complete.

In terms of storyline and immersion this battle is a 5 on my list. The author has really attempted to push the boat out here and do something original, which makes it a definite must play. It is also one that can be completed relatively easily for FCHG points if you put your head down and go for it.

I give this battle serious props for trying to do something original. The storytelling and the immersion were absolutely great. I felt like the plot twists were a little lackluster, and the mission design could be tighter, but overall I give a ton of credit for taking risks and doing something original. Definitely on the 'must play' list for me.

It was quite nice and entertaining. Only strange that in the storyline, your MB runs short on fuel and supplies, but never on warheads. :) A TD would prolly had made more sense. But I'm nitpicking. :) A very nice battle.

Note: I only noticed that this storyline had already been done only once I finished the battle and submitted it, so if you find that the story is similar to the one of the other "The Virus" battle (TC-180), that's due more to me not checking the mission compodium beforehand rather than direct copying. I apologize to the creater of that battle for taking his idea. As for the battle itself: it is my first try at making a battle, so I don't really know if it is any good. Any criticism (both good and bad) is welcome.
