I thoroughly enjoyed this one. It did get a bit repetitive as a YT-2000 has basically infinite ammo and just can wait for the turrets to do their thing but it was still very fun.

It's a nice, if somewhat repetative mission in a pretty scenery. Ther basically is no mission breafing and the debriefing must be an in-joke. Can be done in about 20 min on medium, if you know how to emply to gun turrets properly.

I'd recommend flying it with the caveat that it might not be for everyone. This one was different but in a good way. For what it's worth, my victory took about 45 minutes--on Easy--but maybe you'll beat it faster. It was my second attempt, and I did not open the mission in an editor. It's a YT-2000 mission. You're either up for it or you aren't. It does a good job of giving you opportunities to practice your skills with gun turret craft. A few tips--spoilers?--for the earlier parts of the mission: 1) the goals say 'board' but it really means 'dock,' as in Shift + D, not Shift + B, and 2) there are a few stations with very similar names, but 'o' will tell you the one you need. Figuring that out was not very fun, but I'm not going to fault the mission for it.


This little FREE is splendid, quite funny and difficult enough as to be a challenge for any experienced TC pilot, not crossing the subtle line between VERY hard and almost impossible; despite you're facing some of the best starfighters ever manufactured by the Emperor's Hammer Science Office like the Tactical Gunboat or the TIE Praetor, that YT-2000 seems quite solid (or at least solid enough as to provide your arse with an escape route). Besides, the final fight is quite intense and it comes with the additional (never well pondered) feature of seeing former and current Tactical Office staff killing themselves. Sadly, without risking my dirty life messing with spoilers I can't reveal all details; just... FLY IT! You won't be disappointed. Only a suggestion: DON'T miss Win Debriefing! "Total Plutonic Reversal"... Master, I take my imperial officer's cap off; you're the best!

If they ever fix those booooring tasks at first 3 Regions for them to be fulfilled in no more than 3 or 4 minutes I'll give this one a 5 rating. For the time being it's a 4.
