Battle Reviews

Perfectly balanced for easy and medium, hard not so much. You get one wave of four craft with standard missiles and no beam system while you are outnumbered 10:1 and must protect a platform, a corvette, an ISD and a modular conveyor. The issue is that you must protect multiple of them at the same time, sometimes 3 of them are under attack simultaneously. You need more craft on hard to deal with them all, or 200% shields/better warheads/beam system. They also arrive at the same time, meaning there is no way to stagger the waves arriving. A random kamikaze corvette with 200% shields also appears to destroy your platform that you have 30 seconds to kill or you fail.


Excellent design. Excellent pace. Action packed fun. I found this mission highly enjoyable and giving it a rare 5 out of 5. The mission maker did a good job with the finer points of this mission and looking forward to trying it on hard!


Nice mission about protecting a Platform and several other moving targets. The T/A is the most frequent fighter out there, and you can understand why. It is bread and butter when it comes to dogfighting. Not the quickest but nevertheless a aood mission and worth a try


This mission was not too easy on medium. Good feeling and I liked the idea of protecting ISD Chandon while it was being loaded with planetary assault equipment (e.g. AT-AT's and troops). Unfortunately I discovered some duplication of FG Goals and GGs, but that was just cosmetic and the mission works fine nonetheless!

A-Wing sword will attack whatever target is closest to it instead of attacking fighters. Corvette Griffon should be set to have an instant explosion; if destroyed too close to the platform it will still crash into it and destroy it. Corvette Amtar does not fire back at attacking fighters. On easy T/A Eagle and gunboat XI do not always attack nearby craft.
