Really didn't love this battle. Having to sit and wait for an ISD to dock with another ISD was unnecessary. And that last mission was just pointless.

Mission 4... woof. I appreciate the creator intent of going for some different stuff. Ship crashing into ISD, towing another ISD, fighting a desperate battle until the end... there's some good ideas here and I really do appreciate the attempt. I think it works a lot of the time. I was prepared to give it a 3, but Mission #4 is enough of a mess (and arguably warrants aggressive correction) that I had to dock it a point. Sorry TK!

Definitely not the best of the Cyclone saga. This is one was somehow repetitive and a bit tedious. Mission objectives become confusing at times, especially in last mission, and some missions have long waiting times and unrealistic depictions such as a ISD tugging another ISD. Play this battle only if you want to finish the Cyclone saga, otherwise there is much else out there to play before this.

Grrr. I personally was horrified by this battle. Plotline seemed sketchy at best and the missions' goals were virtually unknown to the pilots. Mission 4 in particular... after wasting 45 minutes on *that* gem, I figured out I needed to let myself get killed or hyper out in all 4 of my craft. Wonderful planning. I love it. The rest... are just as mysterious to the pilot, with very little in the briefings to explain the missions' objectives.
Battle Bug Reports
2023-05-03
Mission 1 briefing has line that goes off screen. In mission, FRG could be seen flying through CRS at one point.
Mission 2 briefing references player flying T/I, but player is flying T/F
It's not a bug per se, but the goals on Mission #4 are problematic. Nevertheless, I experienced game crashes when trying to complete Mission #4. Not sure if it was my system, the odd goals, and/or hitting a ship limit

Battle requires EHSP-XvT but this is not mentioned on the compendium.
Mission 1: CRVs Royal Guard attack each other after the Rebel opposition is eliminated.
Mission 3: IW A-Wings attack IW X-Wings.
Mission 4: Objectives (eg GUN Cyclone must come and go, ISD Colossus must arrive) are misleading - the actual goal is to allow yourself to be disabled and captured.
