It's more or less an iteration on a common custom mission genre of "train by destroying starfighters piloted by increasingly more talented pilots), or basically a "TIE Defender Historical Mission 1" spin-off. It's maybe not the best take (I don't love fighters running away, or having to wait prolonged periods for more to show-up), but it's also (as of posting) the only mission in the compendium that uses the E-Wing, which I do enjoy flying. So it's worth it for E-Wing alone, I would say, even if it's not the best take on a common trope.
Although flying the E-W and pit fighting against K-Ws and A-Ws, duration of the battle was over extended. More than 20 minutes to see the last of the A-Ws. Too bad, because it seemed promising in start.
Very nice mission, good training for dogfights and flying the E-Wing was a real treat.
A very funny mission, Drakmann. Nice to fly an EW in Scorpion sqdn , again. :)
GOOO E-Wing!! them damned A-Wings made me flying this mission over & over again, challenging, addicting, IW - I request more IW missions
Excellent mission :) Really challenging on hard and easy on easy :P E-W is fairly good :)
like Mad Hatter said this is a good training mission, though it was intended for the IW's past elite squadron Scorpion which used E-wings. I'd like to see more use of the E-wing & K-wing patch by mission designers.
Nice training mission all around. Although you do wait a long time at points in the mission, I found it very entertaining, and frustrating at times. (Damn Jedi K-Wings with rockets >:| ) Good mission for those looking for some shoot em up action.
