Do not bother trying these missions on hard. Every superiority fighter has advanced missiles and you often find yourself flying near modified corvettes and modified frigates which will quickly ruin you. Even medium was a challenge. Decent premise but not executed properly.

I read this is battle based on an actual Operation Falcon Claw. Although serving from the massive SSD is always a pleasure to the eye, this battle is tedious. Almost all missions are in a T/I, unshielded of course, and what's worse, some of the assignments are not very clear, so you can fail 1st mission after killing dozens of fighters, just because a M/FRG bugs out, and there isn't much you can do in you shieldless coffin. Additionally, the rest of the missions are the usual kill kill kill, looking almost identical between them. This battle is somewhat mediocre, not to be noted unless you have flown everything out there.

The EH must really be strapped for cash, and have large redundant stock of pilots. Tie Interceptor v Capital ships, even the smaller one’s isn’t my idea of good operational planning. A battle 1,2,3 and 4 is the same just you get to fly a shielded craft. There are bugs in the battle –

Overall a rather dull battle. Though bug and flaw free, it is essentially the same mission over and over again, and the lack of craft variety (namely no T/Bs or GUNs) makes the missions frustrating as most involve some sort of capital ship attack. Being stuck in a shieldless T/I for 3 of 4 missions is boreing.

Been some time since I flew this battle, but I know it made me restart the missions a few times over. The misisons will NOT complete themselves. :P

This was actually a pretty decent battle. Based on Operation Falcon Claw, Aft has done a decent job of creating a battle out of it. The missions did seem fairly similar, but to be fair this is a good first attempt at a battle. Plus I got 3 of the highscores :P

History:


		All members of the SSD Avenger have been assigned to an operation in and around the Fondor system. Emperors Hammer intelligence has been tipped off that a Rebel lead revolt could soon be instigated. Our ship has been selected to research the possible revolt and secure the Fondor system from trouble.

The SSD Avenger is about to jump in system. RA Davi Anthol briefed his Wing Commanders

Whilst not a dangerous mission I want you all to remain vigilant and aware, I’m sure that the weeks rest on Kuat was enough and I severely doubt that there will be anybody leaving the ship once we arrive. Anthol’s voice echoed around his private bridge/command center, And another thing MAJ Kai since this will be your first major combat engagement as a Wing Commander I want you to follow LC Zack’s example but always act on initiative. I wish you now to brief your Commanders, and in turn order them to brief their squadrons. Are there any questions?


Author's Comments:

- This mission was created for the SSD Avenger: Operation Falcon Claw competition set up by RA Davi Anthol for all pilots of the SSD Avenger. Without him, this battle would've never been created.
- Make sure you try to read the messages in the missions. They keep the plotline flowing, keep you up to speed with changing events, and make the missions more enjoyable to fly for you the pilot.
- If you have any questions or comments you wish me to address me in person, please feel free to e-mail me at darkhorsedl@graffiti.net; your views are always welcome.
