XWA-F 34: Steal a Gunship
Battle Information
Battle Reviews
Let me start by saying that some of what I write here is purely personal preference. I'm sure there are loads of people who delight in flying these bigger, slower craft. I don't care for it, I think it takes a lot of the fun out of it. That said, it was a solidly built mission, no bugs that I noted and an interesting storyline about making off with a gunship(cool). The dialogue was good, and it doesn't overstay it's welcome. Solid mission.
Flying a Corellian Gunship? Are you serious? Kind of boring since all you have to do is engage the attacking fighters with your auto-firing turrets. Quite a challenge though. Good luck in flying a ship that has the same reaction as a snail on valium.
Not sure why it got such good grades from other reviews. You spent most of your time doing nothing. There are some challenges when flying as a capital ship that should not be ignored. You need to have things to do, else you become just a passenger. I do like to see more cap-ship missions. This one though fell flat on its face (for me).
A bit of a drag, but still fun to play.
This was another of let's fly a capship mission. However, this one was done better than the previous two I've had a chance to fly. It's not a VSD and it's not a big battle. You actually have to play it smart to run away. It was really nice change of pace while doing the XWA-Frees!
Very funny to get into a correlian ship like this one, the kind of ship we hate when we're in fighters...And I just loved destroying the corvette with my gunship although she looked pretty powerful in comparison of my craft.
A very good battle. You fly in a cap ship as in other missions around, but you're not in the comfort of an ISD like most missions I've seen. You can get killed here. It can be a really annoying mission if you're making a run for the high-score.
It was nice to fly a cap ship instead of the same fighters over and over again. Too bad Ghost and Demon Squadron got obliterated. (Poor Demon 11)
LOL! What a great mission. Its a nice change from the old fighter.
Nice to not have to fly a fighter. Just let the automatic targeting blow up the Rebels while you get to see Ghost Squadron yet again take 99% casualties against a inferior enemy.
A nice chance to fly something diffrent than the normal Starfighters.
Pretty good! An interesting change of pace...I didn't realize how slow those Cap Ships were!!! Anyway, keep up the good work...I'd love to do some more like this!
