Battle Reviews
While this battle did not have any technical errors, there was wwwwwwwaaaaaaayyyyyyyy too much time spent sitting around waiting. And that's at 4x speed.
Not a bad battle, but 4x Time is your friend, especially on mission three that lasted almost an hour...
Decent combat and plot, but it just takes WAY TOO LONG. If it weren't for 4x acceleration, I'd have started to actually read my marketing textbook. :P
If there is one word that describes this battle it is the word LONG. For a start it has more missions than most battles, but almost every mission will take you at least 20 minutes to finish. The battle is well thought out too, although mission six has the wrong fighter in it (my opinion). Missions that look simple aren't (if you hang around for a bit) and there *is* a lot of stuff to 'kill'....if you can survive long enough to do it ;) Good battle and perfect if you have a fair bit of time on your hands.
Not bad, but you have to wait way, way too long on numerous occasions.
Two things: 1. If you actually read some of the books, you would have found out that Thrawn wasn't at the Battle of Endor, he was patrolling the Outer Rim during that time (Pellaeon thinks about how the Battle of Endor would be different if Thrawn was there) 2. Have a good, long book with you. On the 2nd or third mission, i was on 4X speed, and I was still waiting nearly 20 minutes. Otherwise an ok battle.
This was a well designed battle, despite having a few problems. I experienced the whole "friendlies" not being so friendly scenario. My own forces kept attacking me wave after wave in mission 6, except for the Tie Bombers, who conveniently ignored me in favour of stealing my cap ship kills. Overall though it was enjoyable to fly.
Not a bad plotline, but there was too much waiting around in the last handful of missions. It took me almost an hour to get through mission 3, and most of that was waiting for cap ships to arrive and leave. I would have rated this higher (4) if it wasn't for all the dawdling.
The battle itself was well-concieved, yet there were a few problems with some of the battles. Some took too long (50+ minutes to complete the primary goals in one mission), sometimes my own friendlies attacked me, some goals were a little unrealistic.
I think that is is an excellent battle. The missions are well-made, even if I did cuss at some of those A-wings ;). The only thing that STOPPED me from giving it a flat-out "5" was the absence of decent officer briefings and debriefings, and briefing maps. That seriously hampered my opinion of the battle. However, I would reccommend it to anybody with about 4 hours of flying time, and am using it in a competition. Well done Kurt, whoever you are.
This battle was a lot better than I expected it to be. It has all the elements of a good battle. It is very well-designed. Long, challenging, and fun. This battle is a good one for anyone to play. I give it a 4.
