Battle Reviews

I enjoyed the story and the missions were ok. The inspection mission (5) was a bit long in just how many craft you had to inspect and I had trouble with the goals of mission 2 or 3 not recording correctly and therefore having to run it multiple times but that isn't the designer's fault.


One star for creative use of craft. It is nice to have different missions with varying craft, like the Lambda shuttle. But the missions are no fun.


This battle is well planned, has a nice story and lets the player fly a variety of fighters, especially the best of the best, the TIE Praetor. However, some missions, like the 4th, I think, are so long that really are detrimental towards the battle's high standards. However, it has almost everything you need, it's immersive, fun to fly and challenging. And gives you the keys for the space killer of all times, the T/Pr. What's not to like about it?

**Notes**
This battle is based on a plotline written by AD Darksaber several months ago so no wonder 
that rank and position of people appearing in this battle may differ from current ones.

The plotline is attached to this battle in the file Darkstar.doc

I didn't test this battle with XWA Upgrade patches. If you use XWAU patches and any 
crashes occur, uninstall the patches before to play the missions again.

In Mission #5 there are many ships and platforms displayed at the same time, lower gfx 
details if framerate is too low.


**Installation Instructions**

1) Install the TIE Praetor patch available at sco.minos.net

2) Create a backup copy of the following files
   ../Mission/mission.lst
   ../fronttxt.txt
   ../Frontres/Tour/Squad5.cbm

4] Double click the .EHM file, the EH Battle Launcher will install the battle.
5] Check the Misc folder in your BoP one for additional material like patches, sounds etc.
6] Press the Balance of Power button to start BoP and fly the battle.
