After countless mindless battles I've been flying this one suddenly felt like I was being given a cognitive test. It's not difficult, but the in-flight instructions are quite verbose and you really need to pay attention to them. It's not a hard mission (on easy at least) in the sense that I never felt I was about to lose, it was more that I wasn't sure I was going to win. Again, just pay very careful attention to your messages. Not a great way to structure a battle imo, but worth it for the points.

Well, so much preparation and energy went into it but nothing worthwhile came out of it. It looks like a test mission, which wasn't fully cooked and made it to the compendium, someway, somehow.

I didn't get the point behind this mission. There is probably an elaborate and comedic plot beyond inspection and self-destructing TIE Assaults, but I could not grasp it. Easy 1 point of FCHG in the bag, though.

The best part of this mission is naturally the TIE Assault...however it didn't work for me so I had to fly it with a T/A since XvT did it all by itself. Its probably alot better with the actual craft.

0] Make sure you havethe EHSP-XvT and TIE Assault patches installed.

Description
-----------
This mission is part of a series of free missions that just test possibilities of the games
and create a "different" type of mission... ;)

Story Line
----------
New craft developed by the Science Office cannot just be released without being propperly 
tested. This testing is conducted by a step-by-step procedure that goes by all the various 
functions of each craft. Because of craft specifics not all craft pass all tests but they 
need to at least do what they are built for.

This mission is primarily made to test these new craft, with as example the TIE Assault - 
which can do most of the things any craft can. Follow the procedure carefully and make sure 
to listen to the radio messages - they guide you through the whole process.

Good Luck, and hope the pressure seals hold on the reactor...

NOTES
-------------------
GENERAL: You need XvT (or at least all the ships involved there) and the EHSP and TIE Assault Patch.

Other Information
-----------------

This is the first release of a very quickly made and hardly tested mission. 
Bugs could arrise - please mail me if they do - also if you have hints, death threats,
