XvT-TC 37: Intrepid to the Rescue
Battle Information
Battle Reviews
A fairly run-of-the-mill battle. 99% of this is dogfighting, with the only deviation being that of mopping up unexploded enemy cruisers or platforms. While nothing jumps out at me as being spectacular, I didn't run into any game breaking or mission failing bugs, so that is a plus!
An average set of missions, but which did feel very heavy on the 'kill endless waves of pirates' - keep an eye on what waves are attacking what critical ships, and you will be fine.
This a guilty pleasure battle. Just fly it for some brainless enjoyment, as it should be. :) Recommending to give it a go. Perhaps I'll try it on hard at a later date.
Fun and challenging. This battle has an average plotline and briefings, but it's still fun to fly. Use the bread-and-butter all around T/A to mostly protect operations and dogfight your way through. Only impractical thing was in a specific mission where a PLT has to be sunk after being captured, and doing it only on lasers was no fun at all, but nothing catastrophic either, as you find in the compendium from time to time. Worth a try.
This was a fun battle containing good dog fighting mission although They got a little repetitive at the end. Note: mission 4 it says you need to kill 67% of the enemies when in fact you need to kill 100%.
Now the fourth mision run OK,and the problem with the penaly points was corriged;good work
This battle Iike many others is a disappointment due to fact in seems that not much thought has been given towards, the enemy forces. Here you are either destroying the enemy so quickly and easily, and when an enemy arrives with 'teeth' it turns out much the same due to poor FG orders, the teeth just turn into gums.
Ick. While possibly good in original design, this battle lacks a LOT. The first thing I noticed about this battle was the absolute lack of any relation between the missions. It's kind-of like a haphazardly built collection of semi-decent FREEs. Next up - the complete lack of any Imperial values in this battle. Honestly, we're the Emperor's Hammer, not the Alliance Firefighting Platoon. >:P The messages left a lot to desire, the fact that your enemies all came loaded with missiles was annoying, and the goals were just pathetic. However, that being said, in design the battle is not bad, and offers a good challenge, while not too hard. ------------------------------ My appreciation decreases further, as I see a certain Brucmack has taken my HIGH SCORE! Noooooooo!
For the most part, I thoroughly enjoyed this battle. It has a good, original storyline that hasn't been done before, and the mission design worked. Worked, yes, only worked. Having enemy flight groups attack specific friendly groups (X-wings only attack T/As, T-Ws attack T/Is, Zs attack GUNz) takes away from the chaos of a battle situation and makes it too rigid. All missions were set up in this way, making them all feel similar even with different goals. Giving your bombers bombs is also a good idea, as I spent well over an hour lasering capships and asteroid batteries, which is no fun in a T/A. Overall though, good battle.
Ooh, what a creative, action-packed battle. We need more battles like this. ;)

Thoroughout: Bad grammar\\spelling. Ok, now I know some people in the EH aren't native English speakers, but that doesn't mean we should have unreadable phrases that make the plot difficult to understand.
Mission 3: The objectives do not update correctly - 66% of pirate craft destroyed does not show as complete even when the percentage reaches 80%, and the pirate transport objective is not shown as failed if it is destroyed before capture.
Mission 5: At least one of the pirate asteroid laser batteries does not fire on the player and also attacks its own side.
Mission 6: Rebel MC80 cruiser does not seem to fire on the player craft.
