Description:

TIE Mine Racing!
Pilots of the Emperor's Hammer are always seeking to improve their skills and prove their worth in battle. To demonstrate marksmanship and flying prowess, pilots will fly an unshielded TIE Interceptor on a short exercise to eliminate mines and containers in the fastest time possible.

Pilots will enter the TIE Fighter game combat chamber and load TIE campaign Battle 5, Mission 1 mineclearing. Upon arrival in the combat area, the pilot will immediately activate their in-flight video recorder ('C' Key) and destroy 18 space mines and four containers. It is not necessary to complete the mission or achieve any of the primary or secondary goals.

  • Difficulty: Hard (so you get 18 mines)
  • Invulnerability, reinforcements and unlimited ammo may not be utilized.
  • Objects may be destroyed in any order but the final kill must be a container.
  • Aggressor craft may also be eliminated but this is not a requirement.
  • In-game bonus goals required for completion:
    100% MINE A Type 1A must be destroyed /
    100% MINE A Type 1B must be destroyed /
    100% CN/D Chi must be destroyed /
    100% CN/D Psi must be destroyed

Please rename your video file to {pilotname}.clp (ex: aardvark.clp) and email to aardvark.tiecorps@gmail.com

Comp placement will be determined by the shortest elapsed time to destroy 18 mines and four containers. The elasped time will be established by a review of the in-flight video and shall be the time on the cockpit clock when the first evidence of destruction explosion animation appears on the final container object. To ensure proper scoring, the player's craft must survive and the in-flight video recorder must remain active for several seconds after the destruction of the final container.

Upon request, pilots will be provided with a TOPACE game file with an appropriate progression in the campaign to access this mission.
