The plot is simple and unfolds sensibly, unfortunately a few of the missions are very tedious.
My thirty-second battle in the TIE Corps.
An enjoyable series of missions, and one where it pays to read these reviews! Mission 3 is hard, even on EASY. It took a couple of goes for me to work this one out - here's how I did it, as it can be very frustrating otherwise for players - Mission 3 run-through, which worked for me, was to take down the cap ship shields, wait and watch out for the shuttle, which you need to disable ASAP - then watch out for the A Wings sent to kill your capture transport - kill these as quickly as possible, but disable one and tell your wing-mates to ignore it, then get on with 1) killing the cap ship, and 2) clearing up the other star-fighters, and with a little luck, you should get there! Hope this helps!
Overall Good. Storyline does need a bit of an update... As for The A-wings on mission 3, someone must really love the A-wing!
This battle had nothing to do with the Dark Brotherhood! It was just a bunch of TC free missions bundled together. The storyline was almost nonexistent. It was very disappointing. However, the overall mission design was fairly good except for mission 3. (The tip there is to disable at least one of the A-wings, delaying the arrival of more which you wouldn't have enough warheads for.) The other missions were relatively fun to play.
I agree with the other reviews-- the A-wings on Mission 3 are a challenge for all the wrong reasons. As an added bonus, they're designated as your squadron's command ship, so if you hit "space" to target an incoming missile, you may end up ending the mission prematurely. (Though it was great fun to watch my wingmen disappear into one of the disabled A-Wings).
overall, a good battle, but something seriously needs to be changed about mission 3. You have about 10 seconds to destory 4 A-wings before you lose, a near impossible task.
Most of the missions were good but god mission 3 was hard!! I had invulnerability and infinate amo on and I had to play about 30 times before I could beat the stupid thing!

Mission 5 cannot be completed due to transport never coming to capture all of Cargo Money, and all of Kapture freighters. Mission 3 will not be completed if you do not disable the enemy captial ship which isn't listed as a goal. I really hate when you play a battle to not have it completed due to the last mission.

THESE LEVELS ARE NOT MADE, DISTRIBUTED, OR SUPPORTED BY LUCASARTS ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY. ELEMENTS TM & (c) LUCASARTS ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY. The Grand Admiral, followed closely by the XO and the Grand Master of the Dark Brotherhood, walks into the briefing room, where the members of the command staff are seated. They all stand at attention. "At ease." prompts the GA. The staff settle into their seats with a heavy sigh, ready for the logistics officer to give another lecture on attrition and how we should conserve water. "For today's briefing, I would ask the Grand Master to speak." At that, Fleet Admiral Paladin walks to the podium. "A great man (FDR), when asked how to give a good speech, once said 'Be sincere, be brief, be seated'. I intend to follow his advice. Toward that end, I will give it to you straight... The EH is broke. We are short of men, supplies, and valuable material. Conquering Aurora was cheap, managing it has been increasingly expensive... Therefore, we must turn to "Privateering". .. What you might know better as piracy. Here is the basic plan of attack... Phase I: Pilots One CRCK, the LEONARDUS, will be stopped with its escorts, for a navigation check. Two T/D from TAU Squadron will hyper in and disable it. Expect resistance from light fighters, mainly T-W. This one is cake walk... (Enclosed Mission PAL1.TIE) Phase II: Supplies ** Two Strike Cruisers, Group XERXES, are awaiting the arrival of a Light Calamari Cruisers. You are to take out the escorts and allow a flight of T/D to disable the two Cruisers. A flight of two TAU MIS will take point on this one. Watch out for the arrival of the SPARTA (the Light Mon Cal). Phase III: Information ** In an effort to capture valuable bullion for Aurora, we must disable and capture a single shuttle containing the course information on the Rebel Supply Train. Easy. Did I mention that this perticular shuttle is inside a Calamari Cruiser? No problem for pilots of our prowess. Fortunately, this convoy also contains building supplies which will prove valuable to the Engineers building Imperial might on Aurora. Omega Squadron will take this mission because of its extreme importance. Phase IV: Eliminate the Point Defense ** This is a pure and simple slug-fest. No strategy is involved here, a flight from Alpha Squadron will hyper in, destroy everything in sight to secure the area, and then leave. The objective is to secure this area in order to allow the capture of the incoming convoy. Phase V: The Mother Load ** Beta, Omega, and Delta Squadrons will be utilized for this mission. The New Republic convoy holding the taxes it has collected will be coming through, and we intend to capture it. The convoy holds billions of credits in bullion that we can use to manufacture ships and weapons, as well as pay off contractors, etc. In fact, we could use the contenets of the convoy to build a PLT/5 entirely out of Gold... This mission is of supreme importance. ...any questions? No... Very well, the first mission launches in 15 minutes. Good luck!" With that, the briefing broke up and the members of the EH rushed to their craft. Soon, the stars would bear witness to the fury of the Emperor's Hammer! **= missions completed by TO/AD Katarn/CS-6/SSSD Sov
