really easy, really quick and uninteresting. Each mission takes like 3 mins to complete

I really enjoyed the story, even if it wasn't big and grand and I had no idea who any of them were but it was a fun, silly story. I don't love unshielded T/F so the VERY minimal dogfighting was good. Very quick set of missions

I liked these set of missions, i flew this part of hammer tour of duty and with cheats. The missions were designed well with no issues or bugs.

I played on Easy. This battle is pretty unremarkable. Most of the missions are ridiculously easy and mission 2 just has you inspect things without being attacked. Maybe it's better on higher difficulties.

Four missions in which you fly a stock-model TIE Fighter. The missions are about as simple as the TIE. Not terrible, but not particularly interesting. Very quick in any case.

whoops. that was ist? surprisingly quick battle. I guess it is nice to fly regular old TIE Fighter again now and then. and that about covers it.

There's nothing wrong with a nice simple battle, but if the player had a hyperspace capable ship instead of a TIE Fighter this could basically be a single free mission. Wouldn't recommend this for comps but it's some nice quick missions.

The fastest and easiest battle I've flown so far in XWA. Though it can turn interesting, as sinking a Corellian Gunship with an unshielded T/F can turn into a nightmare. Luckily its a bonus and not part of the mission. Express fun and easy 4 fchg points.

This battle is a collection of quick, simple missions in a TIE/ln. They remind me of the training missions in TIE Fighter, and that's a good thing. SPOILER ALERT: I'm not sure why the old EH was so fond of cookie jokes, but that's the case here. The silly, poorly-aging plot doesn't detract from the missions, which are fun in the shield-less TIE.

I think at the time these in-joke kind of stories are probably good, but they do not age well. The story was pretty nonsensical, and the briefings are kind of low effort. On the flip side, the missions themselves are pretty quick and simple, so at least that's good.

Very funny e-mails and storylines. I think the spirit of Astatine was captured quite remarkably ;). Yes, the missions are easy, but what do you think an unshielded TIE can take? You want to assault CRS with that? No, such missions would be much more frustrating. Basic battle with quick FCHG points, but quite enjoyable. Great work!

As missions go, this one has a great sense of humour. I liked it and found myself loving the TIE fighter all over again.

The amusing storyline and chance to fly TIE Fighters for once create excellent potential for a great battle. Unfortunately, a blundering attempt at mission design leaves the player between extremely bored and extremely frustrated. In mission two, don't even bother turning on your guns, you don't fire a single shot. And in mission 4, get your invulnerability ready, since you'll be taking on a Corellian gunship, by yourself, in a TIE Fighter. To make matters even worse, if you lose two of your pitiful AI T/Fs: mission failed. Gunships are probably THE most dangerous anti-fighter capships in the game, yet AI TIE Fighters are expected to survive against this onslaught. Read the fiction, but skip the battle.

Last mission was pretty funny(Especially trying to avoid Gunship's lasers) But I think the whole battle is far too easy :-(

Quite nice difference after flying T/D and T/A fully equipped. But T/F with Bulk Freighter and HA? And all seems to be a bit too simple in plot.

A little on the short side, which is where the 4 comes from. The ending was funny and it wasn't a very difficult battle.

A rather poor effort on the part of the battle creator. The missions were short and seemingly pointless, virtually no briefing, and you fly a T/F. Somehow, I think a High Admiral would take a little more precaution than 4 cadets in T/Fs and a frieghter. Only reson it didn't get a 0 is becuase it was bug-free.

This is a cute little battle that made me laugh, and for that I recommend it. This isn't much of a test of piloting abilities, but that's okay, there's plenty of other battles around that are. This is a nice change from the 'save the galaxy in your lone super-duper indestructible advanced TIE Whooshie!' idea.

Alright mission, consistant throughout which is a plus. Best part was the final debriefing though :)

A story-oriented battle ! If you're looking for intense action, hundreds of fighters to destroy, this one is not for you. But if you're looking for a funny story, you will like this short one. BTW, read the commander's briefing (the text ones) before looking at the animated one.

Um...well...It didn't crash...I guess that's a plus. But seriously. It's well put together, I guess it's kind of funny, and it throws you into some situations that are quite a challenge. EXTREMELY VAGUE briefings...like...they don't tell you anything at all..but I guess that adds to the plot... Oh well, flyable. I'd recommend it.
