A poorly put together battle that sees pits you against far better fighters in a terrible ship, limited warhead selection and unmanageable odds.

So... much... waiting... in... this... battle... it... takes... so... much... longer... than... it... should. Maybe... I... would... have... ranked... it... higher... without... the... all... the... dead... time. Also... has... multiple... missions... where... you... can... do... stuff... you're... not... supposed... to... based... on... the... events... of... the... next... mission... which... is... even... acknowledged... by... radio... messages......... odd.

Soul crushing tedium. Interminable waiting and grinding down of capital ships, sometimes in the weak Cloakshape fighter.

My ninety-sixth battle in the TIE Corps.

I was really looking forward to this battle when I saw the Cloakshape Fighter patch. Until I had to fly it, at which point my excitement quickly disappeared. It really is not a good ship, it's slow, the guns are terrible, and the missile bay is uninspired. I think I will stick to being excited to kill them, but won't look forward to flying them anymore.

Decent battle. Nice plotline and good preliminaries and briefings. The missions had that feeling of being a DB battle, using second rate equipment such as the venerable GUN, or the budget Clk/F and were very challenging, given the poor capabilities of the latter. In the end, the missions tended to feel repetitive, such as always protecting your capital ships from a usual invading enemy flotilla, and this was detrimental to the overall score of the battle. However, this is a decent battle, worth the time invested and for some FCHG points, given that you are willing to endure flying the useless Space Blanket, aka the Cloakshape Fighter. Although Fighter is probably too big of a word for it.

Pretty decent battle altogether, although I never will understand why some people have you fly crap like a Cloakshape fighter. The whole battle flow is utterly destroyed though by the 5th mission. First you wait for 6 minutes for one transport after the other to dock, then it's a few minutes of dealing with enemy warships, and then another 6 minutes of waiting. Such a letdown. Not sure what was meant by a 'capital ship battle' .... I saw no cap ships fighting each other, not to mention the part where XvT doesn't do this unless you pratically put the caps on top of each other. Which is bad mission design anyways :)

Somebody needs to get the DB some actual bombers. This is the third battle in a row where they send T/As and T/Ds to do the dirty work of cleaning up big cap ships with a single load of advanced missiles. There was an attempt at humor here that I didn't quite catch, but I'm sure it's funny for the pilots who remember these ships and officers.

Some people who believe reviews should be half the battle and half the mission creator feel that everyone shouldn't give this battle a low rating because it's a posthumous battle. I disagree with this concept, so here goes. This battle has a good humorous plot (I admit I actually laughed during a briefing), it has some interesting situations (the CLK is not that bad in a dogfight) and also has an intense capital ship battle in the end. However, the battle also has serious flaws, such as long waits for ships to dock; the fights get confusing sometimes (like on the mission where we disable friendly capital ships); and the fact that CLKs, although fun to fly in dogfights, are so big that are easy targets for capital ships, no matter what's our speed or how much we jink. I know this battle wasn't finished, but someone could have made this battle a lot better with some minor corrections. I give it a 3, but I would change to a 5 if it didn't have these serious flaws.

Rather too confusing at times, had some nice idea’s just not very well implemented I will not say anything about those long dark evenings seating around waiting for craft to dock.

Well. This battle could be done better. I many missions I had to fly with GUNs, otherwise they were unable to complete their objectives. CLKs suck!
