The last half of the set of missions feels disconnected from the first half. The first half of missions was very challenging for me -- I had to really focus on making sure my shields were supercharged and correctly placed to make sure I didn't die. It took me many tries. On mission 5 - escorting the interdictor - I needed to wait several minutes doing nothing at the end of the mission as I waited for it to jump into hyperspace.

Played on easy with full cheats. Ok battle, especially for an early one.

I had some trouble with the first mission, but the last was a great classic dogfight.

A very enjoyable series of missions, a couple were quite simple but several really did require you to think tactically (and have some luck as well).

Fun battle. There's a little bit of luck in one of the later missions where depending on your positioning you can end up a little too far away to take care of some B-Wings before they take down your ship, but that mission is still a pretty good defense mission.

I tried to play on Medium initially and ended up playing on Easy. These missions are definitely difficult. The missions are fairly varied, as are the ships you pilot. You often have threats on opposite ends that need to be dealt with. On Easy, these fights are simple but they get much harder on Medium and above. The story was relatively coherent but the briefings were lackluster. Also, I'm not sure if this is just a limitation of building missions in TIE but the voiceover sound effects were all over the place and pretty useless.

I give this a solid four. The missions were generally well thought out and fairly balanced, with the exception of a couple (notably the final) being quite difficult, and the usage of different TIE models being all over the place.
The story was solid.

Well-polished and well-designed battle. I could tell by the pathing and the hyperspace in and out of some major ships on how well placed the ships were. To enjoy the most of this battle, when you first play it, do not attempt to hit the high score. Just complete the missions. It deserves this much. Once you have completed it at least once, then go ahead and chase high scores. Otherwise you will not do it justice. The difficulty on hard varies from mission to mission, but I welcome difficulty. Overall, it deserves a 5. I did notice some minor bugs / problems but knowing how difficult it is to finding and ridding of every little permutation of a bug, I really didn't mind. There is enough ship and mission variation and the sense of epicness in some of the missions was achieved. The briefing was also polished and proper. Nothing felt rushed. The only nitpick, two of the missions felt a bit out of place (storywise).

I actually enjoyed this. You have to work hard your way through some of the missions, but you truly have a chance to unleash the wrath of the Empire upon the rebels! 5/5. Would fly it a third time.

Good, mission. Got a little annoying when the capitol ships had starfighter orders, but every mission was beatable and fun. Good storyline and plot.

I enjoyed the battle. It wasn't terribly hard, nor awkwardly easy. It was worth the points, though I'll admit it dragged on a bit in places in terms of plot and such. Other than that, good job!

There's nothing really wrong with this battle. The fun factor is there, but not enough for a score of 4 or higher IMO.

An enjoyable battle. Loses a point for tons of technical errors (e.g., starships with starfighter orders, ships holding steady for the entire mission, etc.) and an uncreative plot. I'd give it a 3.5.

I suppose the overall effort wasn't bad, but I agree with one of things another reviewer said. It's just really roughing up captial ships. Occasionally, you do have to worry about mines and starfighter defense, but that usually isn't a problem when you're flying a TIE Defender anyway. Oh well.... not bad.

A playable battle; Nothing too bad but also nothing too interesting. Some missions reek of killkillkill, but fortunately not too much. I could almost say that the biggest problem was that the battle was a bit amateurish: spelling errors, briefing design errors, starships with starfighter orders and so on.

My first Battle via Emperour's Hammer; very good; although the idea of having nearly every enemy fighter going after you (including Corellian Corvette) did anoy me a bit. But the last few mssions were great!

This Battle was so good, I had to fly it twice. I think the storyline is excelent and worth flying. What's keeping me from giving it a 5 is that in a couple of the missions, about 6 A-wings target me, and destroy me.

Good battle, with many targets to kill (i love torpedo runs!), balanced difficulty and a good plot. The story is not clear at some point, but the battle is still amusing.

It was kind of okay. I mean, there were no bugs, but at first it was nice and hard, then it got to the point where it only took 1 try and 5 minutes to finish a mission. Nice battle for rookies though...like me :)

This is a fun battle, with a lot of Rebel capital ships and installations to take out. However, I can't give this a 4 or 5, mainly because of shoddy execution at times (radio chatter popping up when it isn't supposed to, etc.) and the play balance is a bit out of whack at times (mission 4, come on DOWN! :-P). All in all, however, this a battle you'll want to fly if you haven't already.

STRIKE AT CALAMARI The Emperor's Hammer will strike the Mon Calamari ShipYards! After analyzing the situation, Grand Admiral Thrawn has determined that the shipyards of the Mon Calamari are the source of an ever increasing problem for the Empire. The construction of Mon Calamari Cruisers has gone on, unabated, for much too long. These vessels, while inferior to our mighty Star Destroyers, pose a significant threat to the peace loving citizens of the Empire. Thrawn has petitioned the Emperor to allow him to use the Emperor's Hammer to crush this ever increasing Rebel menace. Proposed Combat Plan 1) Recon: TD's from Delta Squadron will knock out long range sensor probes in the vicinity of the Mon Calamari Shipyards. There will also be some Rebel craft patrolling the area. 2) Strike/Attack: Elements from Beta Squadron will knock out all fighter and starship defenses protecting the shipyard facilities. 3) Strike: Epsilon and Lambda Squadrons will attack some of the space-based facilities. 4) Defense support: Flights from Alpha Squadron must defend 'rear units' (supply vessels, etc.) from sneak attack by Rebel marauders. 5) Defense: Gamma Squadron will defend an Interdictor from Rebel fighters, desperate to give fleeing vessels a chance to escape. 6) Strike/Attack: Evacuating Rebels will be attacked before they flee. We will attempt to thwart their plans of escaping with any remaining equipment and supplies. For the glory of the Empire.... Flight Leader Andrew Lambda III
