I love the concept of this mission, the multiple stories. I only played on easy and it all worked and I have to assume the same of Hard. On easy it is very quick and the MIS can make short work of the VSD.

It could have been given a much higher score but multiple factors make this a poorly balanced mission. Lack of decoy beam when facing 24 craft with missiles (the missile boat has such a small countermeasure magazine that it needs the decoy beam in these scenarios, especially given how outnumbered you are), inability to change your torpedoes to advanced missiles (there are only starfighters so why are we forced to use advanced torpedoes instead of advanced missiles), and no slam system for the missile boat makes this a difficult one.

Not sure about this mission - even on easy, found this hard. The two different mission goals is an interesting idea, although at this time, I've only explored the 'easy' option. When I got back to my command ship, it exploded as well, which was...weird....but I could still finish the mission okay. Not sure really what is going on with this one! Give it a try to find explore more!

4 just because I couldn't beat the version on the 'hard' setting, so I don't have a strong opinion either way. Still, I'd recommend this one. It's a bit different, kind of two different missions in one, as explained in the briefing. I tried the hard version 5-10 times, but never felt like I got anywhere close. On 'easy,' I was able to beat it in about seven minutes, so a positive thing is that it's not a huge time commitment.

2/21/17
 - Changed HARD X-Wing targets to attack all of Delta and not only the player.
 - Changed goal text to genericly refer to enemy fighters as "Rogue TAC fighters" instead of by their type to prevent confusion about fighters meant for the other difficulty.
 - Removed confusing "Don't leave yet." message that displayed after main goals are complete.
