A mission that has 5 bugs on hard and requires the player to kill 12 a-wings within 30 seconds or they kill your mission critical shuttle with advanced missiles. Since bombers do not arrive on hard it is impossible to beat since the cruiser goes to hyper out when the shuttle reaches your VSD's hangar, meaning you have 5 minutes to kill a cruiser with 136% shields that also has advanced missile launchers. avoid at all costs on hard.

Challenging mission in a TIE Experimental Mk.I, unshielded, which is an odd looking fighter but nimble and if used properly is a serious death dealing machine. Lots of dogfighting closely targeted by a CRS, which can become very annoying, but overall another good mission from Dempsey. This FCHG point player will have to sweat a bit.


Good mission overall, but would anybody mind to explain me what the hell is the Sinister doing escorting a NR defector? :P Besides, the laser cannons behave but very odd in the T/e Mk.I with ions available at primary recharge (the Mk.I isn't supposed to have ions) and red laser beams without ions at secondary recharge. Oh, well, this one goes for the SCO and not the mission creator anyway... ;P

Message about the platform launching bombers appears on hard yet no bombers actually launch due to them having the incorrect launch trigger.

Calamari cruiser breathless will attack the nav buoy due to having incorrect orders set.

A-Wing group blue never launches on hard due to having the incorrect launch trigger.

A-Wing group Green never arrives on hard due to having the incorrect launch trigger.
