And enjoyable and fun mission and recommended to play. You have several roles you can choose from, which is always great, with a selection of enemies who have different targets, which forces you to plan your approach to this mission.

A good FREE mission, the primary mission goal is easily accomplished although you do need to watch for any fighters making a run at the ATR. There are plenty of other enemies out there though to keep you entertained whilst you wait for the ATR to dock.

On easy this can be a straight forward dogfight, or you can jump in and help disable the ship first. Either way, it's a straightforward objective. You are flying a gunboat, however, so be mindful of your speed (or lack of it). Also, I didn't take advanced missiles and I regretted it. You're given torpedoes by default to help take out the target, but again on easy I didn't find those very useful. Recommend this one if you need something nice and easy.

I played on Easy. This was actually a decent mission. The enemies come at you from two directions and I could actually see this being difficult on higher levels of difficulty. It was decent enough.


From the beginning I just went in and did a dogfight against some enemies and before I knew it, the mission objectives were complete. Nothing major to have to worry about in this one so that's nice but I also felt like I should've looked at the objective screen first. Prett basic mission.

I liked this mission. It showcases the gunboat's utility as well as not making you feel you are fragged. I will revisit this one to try it out on hard.

Classic interdiction and seizure mission in a GUN. Well balanced, well planned, the mission was fun to play and fast to finish the primary goals, delving deeper in higher scores was a bit challenging but nevertheless very enjoyable. Worth a try

A decent mission, but very short.

Not bad. It's an okay mission, though you really should think up of a better name : )
