Weirdly setup mission, no clear guidance provided by the briefing as to how to
proceed, opening with what could best be described as the best that XvT engine could provide as a static cutscene, 3 minutes in length.
One to avoid, but nothing overly wrong with it.

There is, I think, a much better mission in here. But there's a few key difficulties that are going to bring it down to a poor score.
1) Nothing to do for the first four minutes. This actually involves a bit of nice cinematic events, but... sometimes the transport won't dock and repair your ship, causing a soft lock. So you can wait over 4 minutes and have to re-do the mission from scratch.
2) No changes in design for difficulty level. You'll get pounded by A-Wings with missiles as quickly on Easy as you do on Hard (just make sure to take off away from them for a bit so you have a chance to recharge your shields). Makes for a very hard mission.
3) This is predominantly a dogfight mission, but with all of your support starfighters having must survive goals. This can lead to some painfully awful fail conditions (like finishing the whole mission and having one of your friendlies run into an asteroid, failing the mission)
4) If you die, you will fail the mission. I find this a particularly cruel bit of game design
Maybe I'm being a bit harsh, but it's also probably the most frustrating thing I've played in awhile on the compendium.

Sit for 4 minutes, and get assaulted by a large formation of A-wings with missiles while you're still trying to get your shields up from a very very silly repair mechanic at the beginning.
This is zero fun. I'd give it a 0 if I could make it far enough to be sure if there were bugs or not.

Waiting 4 minutes before your ship gets repaired just to get killed by A-Wings is not my definition of fun. If you have time to kill and want to stare at the screen, this mission is for you.

Excellent idea with a couple of minor flaws. You do not need to copy the planet file, as it is actually not so great as a graphic. I was expecting something along the lines of XWA. Quite an unusual mission, give it a go when you have the time to spare.

Very original mission with a high level of skill and a surprising start. The dogfighting itself will be fun to fly but nothing extraordinary, however it is an overall solid mission, worth to be flown.

It lives up to its namesake, really fun, worth playing.

Really neat mission. The begining of the mission was awesome. Very good timing by the creator.
There are currently no open bug reports for this battle.
