Battle Reviews
Great battle overall. A couple missions were a little tedious, but only because I was chasing high scores. This was a fantastic battle!
I wasn't able to get it running in TF-CDROM, unfortunately, but no problems in TIE95.
The technical achievement of a branching storyline is incredibly well done, and such a wonderful idea. I also enjoyed flying the Firespray more often than not, so the battle serves as a good spotlight for that patch. The plot itself is terrific, and actually makes me a bit sad there's only one, as it feels like a starting point for a much larger story. All that being said, I can't say I always loved playing it - some of the missions were not my cup of tea, and the Shift+S for a tractor beam left me cold. But again, definitely something I consider a must play in the compendium.
The branching paths within the battle's storyline are splendid.
As for the actual gameplay, it holds up a reasonable challenge while being thematically appropriate !
This was the first custom battle I completed since I joined the TIE Corps and it certainly set a high bar.
Very original battle indeed! I didn't like design of some missions though, so it gets "only" four from me.
I love this battle. The plot, the action, and of course the CHOICE !!! At last you can choose what you want to do. That's a battle, yu can play many times and not get bored. Bravo !!!
5 for the idea. It's great, and I hope Beef will someday do it for IA or XWA. I really like how the plot is constructed. Idea whi SHIFT+S tractor beam rocks too. :)
Good Job Beef, A very Interesting Battle to say the least... This is one battle with LOTS of replay-ability. This Idea should be used more often!

VERY IMPORTANT:
The purpose of this battle is to provide the player with choices to make that will
actually affect what missions are flown next. In order to do this, each difficulty level
is different. After completing a mission, the player is given a set of choices. "If you
want to do this, fly the next mission on easy. If you want to do that, fly the next
mission on medium or hard." The choices made at the beginning will determine what
choices the player has at the end and everywhere in between. So, I guess what I'm trying to say is, READ THE BRIEFINGS or you won't know which level to fly next.
ALSO, if you open the battle in TIE Fighter Workshop, do NOT open the mission map. Doing so sometimes changes waypoints by adding or subtracting 1.00 to the Y-axis of objects pointing straight up or down causing platforms and such to misalign. Often this will make the mission not completable.
Description:
