Battle Reviews
I flew this as part of Raise the Flag competition 2021. Overall, the battle seemed straightforward with no major hang-ups. There is not much to say about it. It was fun but the battle did not contain any elements that makes it stand out from nearly every other battle you have ever flown.
pretty straight forward battle, a few capture missions here and there, some capital ships to blow up. took a few tries to beat it as it was difficult at times. no issues with bugs or anything like that
This one was better than the last one the creator made. A good variety of craft to fly which is always entertaining. It is difficult with the flight speed being low on some of the craft to really go after targets, but it makes it more of a challenge. Enjoyable missions and a decent story too.
I played on Easy. There's good things and bad things about this battle. It's varied and has some cool mission ideas, but there's also a lot of waiting. In the final mission, you have to wait forever for it to finish. You also fly a shieldless TIE against waves of E/S in the final mission. It's easier to just sit back and let the AI finish it, even though it takes forever.
I don't remember in full detail the original TIE Fighter battle, just the story overall. Seems like a good adaptation. What I do remember is that in general I had to kill a LOT of Y-Wings back then in my trusted shieldless TIE Fighter. Moreso than Z95s. It's funny playing this battle with my 2021 goggles. All of a sudden it doesnt look so great. 4/5 of course, better than the typical 3 but this battle shows its dated approach despite originally being made by professionals.
Superbly recreated. Who wouldn't love to meddle in the Sepan Civil War? The missions are a pristine reproduction of the original TIE Fighter missions. Even the wavpack provides the original audio. Awesome work.
Another faithful re-creation of TIE into the XvT engine. Nothing beats starting out your Imperial career on the illustrious Station D-34. Mission #3 is a personal favourite of mine. 4 stars due to not being original content. No bugs found
Playing the TIE campaign in XvT is, in a word, joyful - all of the things I dislike about the TIE campaign (mainly the engine) are removed while most of the things I like remain. Shame you don't get the cloaked figure or General Frown's briefings, however...
Absolutely outstanding conversion of this TIE classic to XvT, including inflight speech!! It works flawlessly and I almost felt I was there again. Definitely better than half of the current XvT Compendium but we could expect no less from Ender. A big FAT THANKS, Admiral, for making it possible for us to enjoy again this splendid battle on XvT steroids! And I don't give you a 5 just because, you know... originality... :P
A nicely done Battle, with a decent storyline and good difficulty options.
Battle Bug Reports
2012-04-01
1) Shuttle group Nazaar is supposed to give Bonus points if 100% of it complete mission, but I've saved their arses more than once allowing them to arrive to the VSD Protector in once piece and no Bonus points were awarded. There's no inflight message either.
2) Also, E/S group Typhon, which arrives as soon as the SPC Glas finishes docking (or is disabled but that's pretty silly, for none will ever come to repair it and the mission is screwed), hypers out almost immediately for some reason instead following orders and attacking the SPC and the SHUs.
I've only played on HARD.

Mission 5: Message indicating friendly TIE Bomber group has entered the battle appears only when the second wave launches.

Title: TIE Fighter: The Sepan Civil War Missions: 5 Medal: Medal of Unity Author: SCO-TCT-TCS-PROF/FA Ender mBind/CS-10/SSSD Sovereign (endermbind@gmail.com) Storyline: David Wessman and David Maxwell of Peregrine Software. Game Platform: X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter (+EHSP) Release Date: 3-27-94 Ships: TIE Fighter, TIE Bomber, TIE Interceptor, Assault Gunboat Difficulty: Easy. Required patches ---------------- * EH Ship Patch for XvT Installation instructions -------------------------- 1] Make sure you have the EH Ship Patch for XvT installed 2] Double click the .EHM file, the EH Battle Launcher will install the battle 3] Check the Misc folder in your XvT one for additional material like patches, sounds etc. 4] Install the custom audio files according to the instruction in the wav package 5] Press the X-wing vs TIE Fighter button on the EHBL to start the game 6] Create a new pilot and fly the Imperial training missions Description ----------- "End a prolonged civil war." The release of the Emperor's Hammer Shippatch made it possible to make full conversions of TIE battles for XvT. This conversion was made using more then just "tie2xvt", about every aspect except the actual texts was changed to get better results in XvT - however great care was taken to retain the same atmosphere as the TIE version had. This battle happens just after the Battle of Hoth and is Mareek Stele's second campaign. All official TIE Fighter missions of the first 7 battles are part of the Emperor's Hammer History. History ------- The Sepan Civil War was a conflict between the Ripoblus and the Dimok of the Sepan system for over forty years. It is unknown exactly when the conflict began, but it is known that by 8 Before Palpatine, it had raged for several decades and become sufficiently violent to draw the attention of the Galactic Republic. In an attempt to diffuse the war, three different Jedi missions were dispatched to negotiate a peace. The final mission was staffed by Jedi Knights Empatojayos Brand, Bultar Swan, and Chellemi Chuovvick. Unable to mediate the dispute, questions surrounding a potential Sepan secession from the Republic became common. The Sepan Civil War raged on through the Clone Wars and the establishment of the Galactic Empire. As Palpatine's Empire set about restoring order to the Galaxy and suppressing the growing Rebellion, the Sepan conflict was forgotten. Story Line ---------- [View Plotline.txt for the officer (de)briefings and mission hints.] Mission 1: Respond to a distress signal sent by a Ripoblus convoy under attack by a Dimok marauder force. You will fly a TIE Fighter against enemy Y-wings. Drive off the attackers and save the convoy! Mission 2: Intercept a Ripoblus retaliation attack on a Dimok science outpost. You will fly a TIE Bomber to make torpedo attacks against enemy starships and assault craft. Force the attackers to break off! Mission 3: Provide asylum to refugees fleeing the civil war. You will fly a TIE Interceptor against enemy Y-wings and shuttles. Rescue the refugees from attack by both sides! Mission 4: The Ripoblus and Dimoks now see the Empire as their common enemy. You will fly an Assault Gunboat on a special operations capture mission. Prevent the two factions from forming an alliance! Mission 5: Fly area patrol while an Escort Carrier delivers the TIE Advanced to your forces. You will fly a TIE Fighter against Z-95s and Y-wings. Defeat an attack by the combined Ripoblus and Dimok forces. NOTE ------------------- You need XvT (or at least all the ships involved there) AND the EH Ship Patch for XvT. To fly as a team all players need the same version, make sure you all have the update by lucasarts installed. Other Information ----------------- This is the First release of a quickly made battle.
