Another mission poorly balanced on hard difficulty. For some reason you lose one escort shuttle, all your conveyors lose 50% shields and the Z-95's get advanced missiles. Essentially you are on your own vs six squadrons, because the enemy have 18 ships per flight group not 12. The frigate also doesn't arrive to help unless one convoy craft makes it away. Escort shuttle ai is also set too low, they do not do anything.

I liked it. A protection mission with some teeth as those Y-Wings are so close you need to get to them fast. Would be interesting to try this one on hard, probably frustrating. Even if we had missiles loaded, there are so many craft spawning that they wouldnt make much difference.

Basic mission but not fast. Fly an unshielded and no warheads T/I against 2 dozens of enemies, mostly bombers trying to nuke (or disable?) CNVYRs loaded with money. The mission, though challenging, felt a bit tedious, especially for having to cover an attack from different sides and without warheads. What is the problem with mission creators? Do they have to pay for the ordnance they load onto the fighters? Budgetary cuts and austerity hit the imperial coffers.

A simple escort mission against pirates. Looks good, it's a challenge and I see no flaws in it.

Description:
It is said an army moves on its stomach. As far as things are concerned in the Empire, the Imperial Armed Forces moves on credits. 

It's payday for the IAFs garrisoned in the outlying Nooin Sector; a money train is moving throughout the region disbursing payments to hardworking and hardfighting StormTroopers and Pilots. What should be a relatively simple and mundane endeavor will soon become one of the biggest credit heists in Imperial history!

The temptation of millions of Imperial Credits moving in a central location has driven rogues in this area wild. Rumors have propogated throughout all of the underground circles in the Nooin system. Pirates have found a weakness in the Imperial Chainlink; by the end of any money train, most of it's heavy escorts withdraw right before the moeny train's last stop. A frigate almost always accompanies the money train for it's full trip; unfortunately, FRG Guardian has been temporarily recalled to respond to an "incident" - a diversion! - in a nearby system. At this point, all that stands between a band of thieves and $20 MILLION CREDITS are the valient pilots of Treasury FG.

Primary Goals:
All of CNVRY Money Train must complete Mission.

Prevent all of CNVYRs from being boarded.

Secondary Goals:
Destroy all enemy squadrons

WARNING: Pirate craft are armed with ADV Missiles on HARD Difficulty.
