Wait a minute for enemies to arrive, then survive nine minutes of insanity (that includes 9 Missile Boats just showing up at one point) as you protect a platform and yourself in an unshielded TIE. Is it as bad as everyone says it is? Probably. Is it the worst mission ever made? Probably not. Would nine Missile Boats destroy this PLT in 20 seconds if they hyperspaced at a distance instead of nearly ramming the PLT upon arrival? Definitely. Should you play it? Depends on how much of a completionist you are.

So... we have 1 pilot in a stock TIE with no shields and no warheads, protecting a platform. So far so good. Not. Then you get pounded on by at least 10 enemy fighters (with missiles I mnight add), and while dodging those lasers and missiles, you have to fight off a number of Rebel Missile Boats with heavy rockets. I can't make any sense of this, other than someone thinking this is a nice way to annoy the hell out of people. Not worth your time to fly! Unless you're a glutton for punishment or really want the FCHG point.

At least give the pilot some missiles if your alone against a buncha rebels without any reinforcements whatsoever... A challenge is nice, but this is ridiculous;p.

All I can say is OMG. 9 to one odds in a T/F, plus all the enemy fighters have missiles. Plus, once you kill the 18 Z-95s, R-41s, and T-Ws, about 12 missile boats with rockets and adv concussion missiles show up and start attacking your station. A few flights even come after you. If you are a rookie, stay AWAY!

I generally enjoy flying in a regular TIE Fighter, but this one did an over-kill on the difficulty (even on easy).

This could use some difficulty settings.

Mission plot: Basically, in a previous mission, you get shot up and ejected. A shuttle picks
you up and takes you to a platform full of Imperial credits.  The platform's inhabitants want 
to leave the platform, but all they have is a TIE Fighter and a Lambda-class shuttle without 
a hyperdrive.  They are willing to give the platform and credits to the EH, but it has to 
survive until the EH gets there.  You patrol the area (in the TIE Fighter) and 9 fighters 
(3 each of Z-95s, R-41s, and T-Wings) come and attack you. A few minutes later, 9 Missile 
Boats (rebel) drop out and attack the platform.  At ten minutes, the 2nd battle group of 
the EH arrives and takes the credits. The platform has to survive until the EH arrives (goal).

Additional credits: None

Construction:  Made from scratch

Additional notes: This is VERY HARD. I have been close to beating it once (I flew away from the
enemy the whole time) but the Missile boats killed the platform at about 9:23.
