Fight three waves of 4 X-Wings, then fight four waves of four B-Wings while a bunch of A-Wings harass you. Take out the A-Wings, and then a couple of Strike Cruisers and a CRL will appear, along with a pair of Imperial Frigates, all equipped with starfighter orders. The waves can be obnoxious and, if you take out the A-Wings first, you run the risk of the cruisers and the B-Wings destroying the platform, which won't fail the mission, but will cause the B-Wings to hyper away, which will fail it. Either way, you'll need to help the frigates laser down the cap ships with the crazy movements only starfighter orders can bring.
Just too monotonous with a few too many bad design decisions in this one for me to recommend it.

The briefing both before and after the battle are nice and with a touch of humour. The in-game messages are also following theme and help to break the monotony, especially at the end when the Relentless arrives. Playability wise, it would have been better if the Capital ships were already there while you were dogfighting with the starfighters. Alternatively, when they do arrive, to have some fighters of their own. Having to shoot down several capital ships with lasers hen nothing else is going on, can become monotonous. At least the Frigates were helping (but also stealing your kills)

This mission was fun, although the first time through I ran into the irritating problem of the A-Wings shooting themselves up and then entering hyperspace (thus disallowing me to complete my mission). The cap ship battle was cool, although I only got to take down a frigate (the other Imp ships handled the other capitals quickly). Overall, it was simple and straightforward.

Although killing loads of Rebels is fun, this gets a bit repetative and there is not twist or interesting sub plot. Although the last battle is fun, the frigates do the most work and there is no fighter cover to deal with. A larger final battle would have been interesting.

It's a pretty good mission overall. I liked the briefing officer text. I'd have given it a 5 if those stupid Imperial frigates didn't show up to steal my kills on the Reb cap ships.

Nice mission... quick, simple, and to the point. The cap ship duel is very, very well done! However those guys shot each other down before I could...

This is my favorite kind of mission: Alot of rebels to kill and no other Imperials to steal your kills :) This is really a great mission.

ELEMENTS TM & (c) LUCASARTS ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY. The Nightshift By LCM Talon Drear 8-11-'99 The slight vibrations of the shuttlecraft are having a soothing effect on you. Gazing out of the viewport you see the tranquil streaks of bright light moving past the craft, surrounding it, almost caressing the small object moving between them. Moments like these always make you feel insignificant to everything around you. Letting out a sigh you return to your seat and pull out the notepad with your standing orders. Accessing it, you stare at the screen. **standing orders** **1 message** 11:32:45 shuttlecraft departing for PLT Nexus, you are to report to your CO, COL Dwight. He will inform you of the current situation and hand you your new orders. **message ends** The PLT Nexus was infamous amongst the cadets on the Daedalus. Officers used to warn them that they would be transfered to the Nexus if they didn't live up to expectations. Yes...the Nexus, the only sign of imperial presence in some backwater system which wasn't even indicated on most star-charts. Serving as an outpost as well as a customs PLT, nothing ever happened out there. The only task that was ever being dealt out there was standard patrol duty. Pilots called it The Nightshift, essentialy doing nothing and waiting for nothing but the end of your round. And you were on your way there now.... Feeling the shuttle coming out of hyperspace, you pick up your gear and head for the exit-ramp. As the craft makes a gentle touchdown you pray to everything you hold dear that atleast SOMETHING will happen on your shift. Be careful what you wish for, it just might come true.....
