XvT-F 44: ViB Prologue XV: Plumbing Trouble
Battle Information
Battle Reviews
A few small things here and there but on the whole not a bad mission. You have to kill the frigate before your ATR's arrive, the ISD will leave before the last ATR can board it but the ATR will still hyper out, and the TIE Phantoms don't seem to do anything much except float around, but the action is well balanced and enjoyable.
Again, not near the level of skill and quality Ender is used to deliver. The mission, though hilarious in the initial approach, it has some intense actio, alas short lived action as it turns to a waste of time while waiting for ATRs to do their things. It destroyed the gameplay
This was the second free mission I made, and remarkably... looking at it again - it was made in a crappier fashion then the first one i made. As such it has been completely rebuilt: All orders, goals, waypoints (there actually weren't any before), briefing etc. are new. I've also replaced craft formerly marked with 'this is a MIS', 'this is a T/D' and 'this is TOS' with the catual craft instead of the GUN, T/A and Y-W used before. I kept the timeframe however.. back then Mantis did have Tos/F :)
Ummm...horrible. Don't waste your time with this...

Story Line
----------
The plumbing problem on the storm trooper decks is getting out of hand. We need to get
it fixed and quick or the whole Vanguard will be lost!
We found a plumber with the right credebtials in the yellow pages and the COM flew his
M/FTR the Luggage there with Python Flight II as his escort.
After finding out about our problems a very evil rebel infiltrator got them to drink
lots of very fine Corellian Whiskey to give his own forces time to attack the Platform of
the Plumbers.
The Vanguard has hypered in to save our men and more importantly: the plumbers! Make
sure that the Platform, The Vanguard, the Luggage and at least one of the Containers
survive and that the Rebel Frigate is destroyed.
NOTE
-------------------
You need the XvT (or at least all the ships involved there), as far as i know
no other patches are needed. To fly in Co-Op all players need the same version,
make sure you all have the update by lucasarts installed.
