BoP-TC 17: Revenge and Routine
Battle Information
Battle Reviews
I agree with Dempsey and Phalk. It's a shame this had all the ingredients to be quite a good one and it felt nice to fly the Advanced Missile Boat (a Lambda fighter ;) ). It's an ok battle.
This one could have been a golden classic with some more work into it to polish its evident flaws. Thanks to the reviews I managed to end mission 1 and 2. Read the comments because objectives are so poorly stated that will inevitably confuse the pilot. Let the ATR in mission 1 to disable the SHU. And don´t bother to shoot at it because it's invincible. Mission 2 is about killing everything. Last mission however was quite a nice one, where you have the chance to exploit the unmatched potential of the SPEC Missile Boat. It requires a bit of tactical thinking but that makes it even more interesting. Too bad some errors which are small but significant, have brought the high potential of the battle.
The first mission is terrible imho. FA Striker has to reach the Gauge, but when he does, you lose the mission because he actually needs to be captured. In order to make that doable, the SHU has no shields (yeah right) and the ATR is invincible. And still the player is easily able to get the SHU safely aboard and lose :( In mission 2, 'gather data' suddenly means the same as 'destroy them all'. Confusing, vague mission objective, way too many invulnerable craft flying around
This battle contains a rather frustrating first mission – waiting around for enemy craft [invincible] to complete it’s mission wasn’t my idea of fun. Some help on what is required wouldn’t gone a miss for the 2nd mission. The limited use of craft for the player was the biggest disappointment. The battle idea was good just needed a little more work.
Battle Bug Reports

M3: TRN doesn't return home after capturing, but just sits there
2010-01-24
Mission 1: Some of the Rebel Y-wings and R-41s collide with their own side's corvettes due to badly placed entry points. A-W Green have disable orders despite the lack of ion cannons on an A-Wing. Rebel CRVs have no targets set. Getting FA Striker to the ISD Gauge actually loses the mission. Since allowing him to be captured is the actual goal, the SHU Badlands has no shields and the Republic ATR Claw is invincible. In spite of these contrivances, the ATR is incapable of disabling the SHU most of the time.
Mission 2: The goal suggests inspecting the ATR Claw (which is invincible again), but you actually need to destroy the Republic strike force that enters the area. FRT SpiritWalker have starfighter orders.
Mission 3: ISD Gauge has no orders. Message 'They're attacking the Interdictor' appears too early. Craft from both sides enter hyperspace when the INT is present. Republic craft flee instead of attacking the Interdictor.
Mission 4: ISD Gauge has no targets. Objective 'ETR Guybrush has returned safely' completion does not depend on the craft actually returning to the ISD Gauge. Large Republic ships have the same GU set, resulting in unusual numbering. X-W Goblin has no orders.
