Battle Reviews

This mission comes installed with extra vitamin shield. All the enemies have 200% shield, be sure to take that into account as the B-Ws take a while to go down. Both the key ETR and the frigate have teeth. It's a challenging mission. If you like a challenge give it go, if not, try something else.


Terrible mission. Where to begin? Tedious, you will have to shoot down endless waves of X-Ws. Poorly planned, since your T/A will have to assume a bombing role of sinking a FRG with mere missiles if lucky and still have some, or barely lasers. And it's a tough job to sink a FRG with blasters. Oh, did I mention that it has 200% shields?. Awfully balanced, as all this nightmare will have to be endured even on Easy level. Lousy programming, because critical CN/A can be boarded by the enemy and it will count as valid objective. Your own ATR only arrives like a decade later and will board as well!. A monumental accumulation of failures. Walk away...


This battle is pretty unfair for the player. There are a few things that are just plain evil, like the 12 A-wings against the player at the end and the modified corvettes that launch advanced missiles. If you want to see a nightmare, fly this on Hard.


Ahh, my first mission. Well, it isn't perfect, I would say, average. Some good combat. Worth trying

	It was standard day onboard Grey Wolf. Quiet, long and boring. Crusaders woke up early in the morning. They took shower and went to briefing room. Their commander, Captain Mike, was already there, drinking his morning tea and reading reports. 
	When they were all here, he standed up. He looked at his pilots for a while and they spoke:
-Good morning pilots. As you probably know you're here because i got mission for you. - Mike looked at his pilots. Most of them were happy, because they're waiting for some competition. Commander Drako, knew this mission is somehow special. He took a voice:
-Sir, what is special in this mission. 
	Hearing this Mike smiled. Drako was his right hand and he could always trust his and his judgement. 
-This mission is special, because i want to see how my Flight Leaders command. Only Flights two and three will participate in this mission. For this mission, commander Drako will be squadron commander, lieutenant commander Marcin Kaczynski will be second in command.
	Pilots were little shocked, but not flight leaders. They already knew how to commanded. All their career they spent in Crusader Squadron. Mike always teached them, shown them tricks, explained many thigns.
-Any details? - asked Wiesio. After Mike he was best and most active Crusader pilot. He was in many battles fighting with Mike, like brother in arm. 
-Of course, my friend. - Mike smiled again and turned on holographic unit. They saw map of one of  quiet sector. Akura. No planets, no life. Nothing. Huge asteroid belts. Great place for spy network. - Our scout reported rebel movements in this sectors. Two weeks ago, their small task force was passing this area, near troyan asteroid belt. They stayed here for a while and then mysteriously dissappeared. 
-They must plant some comm satelites to spy us - commented Derek.
-Yes. Our inteligence confirmed rebel presence in area. We don't know exactly what is there so you'll be there to check it.
-Oh man... Anothe boring CAP......
