It is a good protect mission/dogfight mission that is well designed to give you a sense of urgency in defending your ships and i liked the story

I never expected to have fun in an Assault Gunboat, but I was pleasently surprized.

There is a lot to unpack here. The story has some good elements in it, but they don't gel well together. It is though above and beyond the typical skirmish missions you find in 'Free' type battles. I had a problem with S-Foils as well and couldn't fire my lasers, so I did something Yoda would be proud of. I bumped the enemy fighters out of existence. Make sure you install the S-FOILS patch (note to self and everyone else reading this review). And yes, I did complete it without any lasers fired...

A very long mission with quite a decent plot. Plenty of targets and surprises await you. It still can be completed rather early but it's better to stick around and enjoy the plot!

Nice mission, but if you choose Toscan Fighter it is impossible to reach the factory and you lose huge amount of points. But what's the difference, even when you hyper to this facility you are shot down instantly :)

Good mission! Interesting storyline, and a good quick way to do some training for the harder,longer Missions. Keep up the good work!

Technically sound, but too many misspelled radio messages, and after a while the number of fighters did get a little ridiculous. Never thought I'd meet the Green Berets and Bond while flying a GUN!

This has got to be the best battle I have flown in my time here. First you get to choose which ship to fly, lots of action when you do launch and then there are multiple plot lines throughout the entire mission. The difficulty isn't even that hard. I would definatly recommend this battle for download and one that you can play over and over again. Well done!

Lots of in-flight messages are interesting for the plot, but annoying in XWA because you can't hear what it says and you can't pause the game to read them so you can miss some orders. This mission started out ok, but once it got to the poison gas factory, it got frustratingly difficult with you vs millions of enemies all at once.

Description              :  
It was rather cool in the cabin ,but that didn’t bother me ,I was glad to get some sleep after that party .
I yawned satisfied as I jumped into my bunk ,pulling the blanket over my shoulder .
It was about the time I started dancing with the fairies in dreamland that i felt a sudden jerk tearing me from my dreams .The Immortal has gone to full speed preparing for an unscheduled hyperspace jump .
The rest of the sleep in my eyes was blown away as the alarm sirens started calling all personnel to battlestations.....
