Battle Reviews

I enjoyed these missions, but agree with Jagged. The twitchy controls, especially on a joystick, make flying these fighters challenging. There are also a number of bugs which complicate things.


Nothing felt technically wrong, but the briefings didn't seem to give much information, and there did not feel to be a narrative to speak of. I had a very hard time with the missions on medium, but they felt much too easy on easy. I'm not sure how I was supposed to know how to call in the fleet on the last mission; I spent a lot of time trying to complete that mission alone.


Played on easy with full cheats. I don't really like the rebel fighter patch as I find the controls too twitchy. Ok battle.


Typical Rion fare : an engaging overarching plot with competent missions, unfortunately bogged down by poor writing.

My twenty-fourth battle in the TIE Corps.


Another Rion's series easy to fly, no nonsense battle. Classic in its conception it carries a not so sophisticated plot, but is effectively put into place throughout all missions. A variety of different roles will keep you busy and is a no brainer, just old school shoot'em up entertainment. An upcoming classic.

The battle needs a grammar/spelling check. Missions 2-5 have issues with craft colliding with ships, stations & asteroids.

Mission 1: If you do not disable the modified corvette Krhui within 1:52 of the mission starting, it will crash into freighter Galoryu, causing both ships to explode.

Mission 2: Laser Battery Battery III is directly in the path of the CRS Fear, and will collide with it and gradually do massive damage if it is not killed fast enough. Craft that are targeting you/your allies will randomly switch targets for no apparent reason. Zeppelin spelled incorrectly.

Mission 3: T/A group Last Hope arrives when the factory is at 50% hull, meaning you only have time to kill one wave of them before the factory explodes. Scout Craft Recon is on a friendly IFF, but destroying it is a bonus goal. Z-95 Headhunter group Lioure never arrives due to having an incorrect launch trigger set. Fighters that launch from the Escort Carrier Zepplin travel through the factory, and will frequently crash into its' base upon finishing their launch. Zeppelin spelled incorrectly. X-Wing lasers on single fire do not fire in the sequence displayed on the screen. For example, if your laser indicator says it will fire the top leftmost laser, it will fire a different one.

Mission 4: X-Wing lasers on single fire do not fire in the sequence displayed on the screen. For example, if your laser indicator says it will fire the top leftmost laser, it will fire a different one. Not All capital ships will fire upon each other despite being in range.

Mission 5: Not All capital ships will fire upon each other despite being in range. Bonus for destroying Tie Fighter group Trainee set to 0 points.

Description:
------------
Mission 1 - Finding clues

Razor squadron will be send to investigate a small convoy and will 
disable any ships carrying special stuff...

Mission 2 - Hole digging

We have the shipyard we were looking for. But it is hidden in an asteroid fields...
They are "holes" in the asteroids, but they are well defended by laser batteries, 
warhead launchers and mine. The Fear will hyper out near one of these locations 
and launch fighters.

Mission 3 - Destroying the shipyard

Finally, we made it to the shipyard! The Warspite and the Fear are now in attack position 
and closing to finish the instalation with their lasers. Main opposition will probably 
come from the carrier Zeppelin who micro-jump there after the last mission. Assist our two 
cruisers in any way you can. Once the Dreadnaught is space debris...

Mission 4 - Counter Attack

The Confederate reinforcements have arrived... An ISD and a VSD are leading the charge 
against the Warspite and Fear. These ships have already launched a tidal waves of TIE 
Bombers. And to make things worse, a third Star Destroyer has entered the area!
Your order are simple: blast the Rionese fighters! Once a good part of them is history, 
we will launched fighters to take care of their capships.

Mission 5 - Search and destroy

We have followed the ISD Asilia after her unexpected departure from the last engagement.
A single A-Wing from White squadron will go in there and identify the Rionese force and 
will call the cavalry in once all craft are identified.
