An incredible remaster of a classic set of missions and a classic story. Narratively and technically excellent and fun to complete.

Shoutout to LC Jagged Fell III for this one! This is the events of the Bacta War from a really interesting perspective. The missions are great, with some really big battles that make the game feel larger. The characters are fun, I especially enjoy the emails. Ship selection is killer! I've rarely flown the missile boat so that was a treat. Overall great Battle and I highly recommend!

Fun battle as always, but a couple of issues I ran into. Mission 2, I think, to start shift+d allows you to pick up the bacta container and carry it to the next destination. After dropping it for inspection (shift+r) shift+d no longer picks up the container, but you still get the system message that docking is complete like it does at the start. Shift+p has to be used, but this isn't prompted until the next area, but if you did shift+d there is nothing to drop or pick up. There is also not a nav buoy that leads you back to the inspection station so you can pick it up again. If you hyper to the next area you cannot complete the mission and must restart. Some quirky bits about that same mission. If you come to 0 throttle near the inspection beacons, an inspector will try to dock with you taking them down to 1% hull and possibly destroying you (was using cheats). In the next area with M/CRV and gravity well container, on my second try, they both were destroyed pretty much right after I hypered in. I assume there was a collision. I only experienced this once on my three tries in this mission.

Coruscant mission (don't remember the number) after the [REDACTED] hypers out all remaining y-wings target you if you're silly enough to keep attacking them. They will disable your ship in just a couple hits. With cheats on, you must restart the mission as there is no way to complete it at this point. The only way I managed to continue was to avoid new flights arriving and send my wingmen after them until they were occupied enough for me to engage.

Battle of Thyferra, maybe this is just my lack of practice in TIE games, but I don't know how this mission is possible without cheats, lol. Rogue launches missiles seemingly without end before you can even get in range of the y-wings. If you spend too much time dodging missiles you will fail. It doesn't take long for the unmolested bombers to take out the ISD. Using my wingmen for cover or attack didn't seem to draw any fighters off me. Chaff seemed about 50% effective, but that may have been due to multiple missile launches. I also did not have collision turned off so taking missile hits was really annoying. Took two tries, immediate reinforcements at drop and basically machine gunning concs on dumb fire into y-wing formations to get through those first 2 formations of y-wings.

Overall, fun, engaging and TFTC is still gorgeous.

Played on easy with cheats, on mission 2 or 3 I must have not grabbed the container and I ended up not being able to finish the mission so I had to restart and do the whole thing again, so I was thinking this was going to be a 4, but then the battle over Coruscant came up and that was about the coolest thing I've ever played in a TIE Fighter game. You can tell Jagged puts a lot of effort into these battles, even the one with the container felt alive with the extra craft going about their business.

Loved the Story, amazing fights, great mission, as always I am looking forward to the next

Everything in this battle is great, period. The story is great, the mission design is great, the briefings and debriefings are great, radio messages are great...

There's basically nothing in this battle that is not superior or on par to anything else I have seen in the Battle Center, a truly great adaptation of the original novels which uses all the power of TFTC and modding to show how great and alive the Star Wars flight simulators are even today.

Special mention to Space Emus and Drop Bears all over the battle. In the middle of all seriousness of the events of the story, some of the mails received and chatter during the missions really made me laugh (...I swear I'm going to start using space emus for Calamari Cruisers from now on...) Also the backdrops are gorgeous, and the view of the Lusankya in any of the missions it shows up really takes your breath away.

The only things I would have wished for are more humane voices with more emotion in them, though they are still great as they are, and being able to distinguish fighters properly against clear backdrops (like in the last battle). Still, that's just wishlisting.

Make yourself a favor a play this battle, it's amonsgt the best the EH has at the time of this writing. And don't play on easy! (I made a mistake and did so, realized too late) The battle on easy is likely to diminish the fun of the experience!

Like TFTC-TC #1 before it, this is essentially a director's cut of two XWA battles (XWA-TC #72 and XWA-TC #73) with a bonus mission added to the mix, using all the bells and whistles available in TFTC to really elevate it to the best possible experience you can have with these missions. I love the concept and the execution and, most importantly, the upgrade to TFTC, which really lets these missions shine. Once again, this is the definitive way to play these missions, and for my money it makes for another wonderful addition to the compendium.

Amazing work, looks fantastic from start to finish with TFTC drastically improving the XWA version. Sullust Station was fantastic and looked almost alive. Eos and the low orbit locations including Aurora and Courscant look particularly amazing.
The skins, voices, video, email and other custom additions make it extra special. Even includes a fun YT2000 and XW mission. Fly it now. PAR!

As Frodo said, PAR!

I think this battle is great. It is definitely a challenge on some missions but not an insurmountable one, at least on Medium. Be sure to check out the Wraith Squadron battles that follow from this one.
