Very long and repetitive mission. Did not have much fun
Boring and tedious. The mission itself is well crafted, but the problem is not the technical skill but the lack of total interest in flying a 20 minute long mission that provides you to be a Torpedo Sphere, since there are literally over 40 capital ships and platforms to destroy. Unless you want to improve dumb firing capabilities, steer away from this one. Pointless and plain boring.
This mission is a borefest. Lazily put together. It will take you a long time to bring all those capital ships down. Also as a story it doesn't make sense as a handful of Xwings try to take on an entire fleet, not because they run into it by mistake but as their primary briefing goal. This mission checks out all the boxes of what not to do in a mission. No immersion, boring gameplay, nor is of dying or losing. Just waste a lot of time trying to laser down capital ships (or run back home and get more rockets). Both equally boring. Avoid it like the plague unless you want to try out for the high score.
I'm afraid this mission was rather dull. First of all the plot seemed to be "Destroy the Rebels because they're there." A good cause, maybe, but uninteresting. Second, there were just too many enemy capships, but there wasn't enough firepower to take them all down. A few more friendly bombers were desperately needed. Even after switching to unlimited ammo after getting bored, I still sat around for a good 20 minutes before they were all destroyed. Boring and not well-balanced.
Awesome mission! The thing to do to get the High Score is something I won't tell.
Well made mission with lots of stuff to do. It has so much though, that with a little work this could easily have been a four mission battle.
