Played on easy with cheats. Enjoyable missions, good briefings that have information. Almost knocked it down to a 3 due to the waiting in the last mission but decided not to.

Ran for RtF with full cheats and on easy. Mostly fast and simple but a couple of missions require dogfighting, has a decent story

It was an okay battle. One mission is really tough, the others are quite easy. Storyline is kinda cool, it's different than ''Kill the NR fleet'' plot. There's some strange stuff though (why the Challenge and the Relentless are VSD?) and some missions are way longer than they should be, but there's no fatal bug killing the mood, so it's a safe battle to play in a competition. Well done.

Overall enjoyed this battle, the story line was clear and progressed evenly. The missions were well above average in terms of design. The only exception is the last mission, some pretty gratuitous waiting that could easily be avoided. Nothing innovative in the story department, but overall solid.

I decided to fly this battle just for the heck of it. I prefer X Wing Alliance, honestly, but I am running out of battles to play on it. I thought this was pretty fun. Without spoiling too much, it was fun to see the New Republic and the Hutts join up against me...and still fail. I really enjoyed the large scale capital ship battles and the dogfights honestly get pretty intense. I almost died several times yet did not find the difficulty too ridiculous. My only serious knock on it was the very last mission; once I had blown everyone and everything away, the craft that were supposed to dock with the platform were only just showing up. I ended up heading off to take a shower and get some food while those craft went about their business, so who knows how long it took. Other than that, found this battle very fun!

This battle was refreshing in its clean and functional design, with no real issues experienced in completing it. If I had to pick significant fault with it, I would highlight the final missions as being psychological torture - corvette docking operations took almost half an hour in real time, at which point I left the room and came back a long time later to find the mission complete. Missions 1 to 4 offered a more enjoyable challenge though!

Beyond the Minos Cluster Premise: New resources have been found in a star system (designated AD-18) just outside of the Minos Cluster... however, the greedy hands of the New Republic and other factions. These resources will enable the controller of this system to revolutionize hyperdrive systems and weapons technology cutting cost and efficiency. However, things begin to get a bit sticky once things get going. Only Mission 1 has full details, and even they may change slightly. Mission 1: Mercenary Incursion A reconnaissance mission has revealed a system of wondrous new resources in a system designated AD-18. Two of the planets have shown potential in hyperdrive technology while the other two have shown incredible weaponry technology. However a band of mercenaries have laid siege there for an unknown faction. ISD Challenge has launched Tempest Squadron to rid the area of hostiles around the third planet. The player will be M/S Tempest 2 and will have 2 wingmen. They will be assisted by T/A Tempest (4 fighters) and T/D Tempest will be on reserve. Primary Objectives: Capture Platform J-91 Capture Platform J-60 Destroy Mon Calamari Cruiser Shaman Destroy Frigate Takeda Destroy Frigate Tokugawa Secondary Objectives: 100% Transport Group Santiago must be inspected 100% Corellian Transport Group Koram must be inspected Container X-95 ? must be inspected Bonus Objectives: 100% of Transport Group Santiago must be inspected 100% of Corellian Transport Group Koram must be inspected Container X-95 ? must be docked Mission 2: Hyperdrive Fortification The planets where the hyperdrive technology are located must be secured. Platform ZV-91 must not be destroyed. Although Tempest Squadron is designated as deep strike, Grand Admiral Ronin himself has made this operation top priority for the Emperor's Hammer. Therefore T/D group Tempest and Interdictor Crimson must protect the platform. We have already recognized the Shangtzu Hutt Corporate as a threat, and they have the finest Imperial Technology known. The New Republic may also attempt a surgical strike, so be prepared! ISD Challenge will arrive to relieve you in 10 minutes. Mission 3: Sabotage! Shields onboard the ISD Challenge have been severely compromised, and more fighters from the Shangtzu Hutt Corporate are arriving to take advantage of our weakened situation. Most of the T/D's are inoperable right now. Tempest Squadron must again take command. Tempest T/D's(you) and T/A's will take out any fighter cover the opposition. The T/A have orders to leave when the cruisers arrive while Missile Boats are launched to take their place. (Inferno Squadron T/D's will be on reserve). Mission 4: Unholy Alliance! As if the Hutt forces weren't enough, now the New Republic has forged an alliance with the scoundrels. ISD Relentless has also been ordered to the battleground to lend additional firepower. The New Republic has brought more firepower than we could have guessed - 3 Victory-class Star Destroyers in addition to the 2 Interdictors the Hutts brought. When Tempest Missile Boats clear enough of the Capital Ships, they will signal for reinforcements, and the rest of the squadron will launch! Mission 5: Their Cavalry has arrived! Apparently, the last mission has frightened off the Hutts but not the New Republic. ISD Challenge and ISD Relentless have been called to the Minos Cluster, but Tempest Squadron must defend what's left again. Interdictors Crimson, Avalon, and Kensai must be defended until the station is staffed with new personnel and equipment. This time, the New Republic is using ISD Strather so you must be especially careful. This mission must be flown by a wing of Tie Defenders.
