It's a decent mission. Well put together and relatively short. Just keep an eye out for the messages and be aware that you need to call for reinforcements after you destroy ALL the satellites and yet it has to be well before the Corvette gets out of there as the reinforcements will take a couple of mins to arrive.
It's one of those invincibility missions and it's always hard to get those right.

By the time you are done with this mission, you are going to wanna kill Waldo for real. So to all the Waldos out there, beware!
It's a nice and well-crafted mission with an original spin. No spoilers. Just, if you are trying to
get a high score, you'll have to think what's the best way to go about it, which adds an
extra dimension to it.
For the completionists who are not looking for a high score, this can be a very short mission
while still being a fun one.

For a single mission, it is quite decent. Relatively straightforward. The difficulty is not too high even on hard. The briefing is solid, though one of the bonus objectives is unclear why it was there, as there is no direct motivation or any form of reveal during briefing or during the actual battle itself.

That was a fun battle and most probably my last battle for RtF 2021. So it gets a special place in the Genie 'career'. Not sure how many I flew but it was almost the entire XvT battle list. I highly recommend giving this one a go.

Well crafted, but there were a few unpolished parts here and there especially in the latter missions. The story was good and would probably return to try it on hard!

Rewarding but nothing unique. The typical destruction brought to you by Missile Boats and TIE Defenders! There are some interesting setups, especially the first mission which yet again showcases the creativity of the mission creator.

Fast and furious. I did enjoy destroying that convoy. It was cathartic! Give this one a go, I believe people will enjoy it and leaving you wanting for more.

On Mission 4 the shuttle keeps crashing. Not sure why as I applied and reapplied and.. reapplied the patches. If anyone knows why give me a shout on discord

Find a new battle... this one is mostly a filler. :P Play it for completion points or because I somehow arose your curiosity. It's ok, nothing memorable about it.

It IS fun. It wont win any Oscars. What are oscars you are saying? So, it's a slugfest (not the Oscars the Battle). Simple yet enjoyable.

I have a feeling the mission creator is the same guy as TC42. It feels as if they were made by the same person. Some joy in cutting down so many fighters and yet... go ahead give it a try.

This is like the 'serious sam' of xvt. That's what it felt like. Hordes after hordes after hordes of Rebel fighters. If you enjoy it, then give it a go. If not, then give it go!

Well, nothing great really. It throws a few important Rebellion names that you get to do away with as any proper Imperial should want to do, but the missions themselves are nothing special.

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.

I am torn, because the craftmanship of this battle is excellent. It even tailored the briefing to the different difficulties. But once you get behind the flight stick it devolves into an ordinary battle.

Another gem from Ender. The last mission albeit a bit frustrating is wonderful. I love it. Forces you to use your head a little for once. Nothing too complicated, just a bit different than the usual missions.

Ender always manages to make battles that showcase the custom starfighters. This battle makes you fall in love with this beast of a fighter, even though it's basically a T/D rip off, it somehow feels good. I enjoyed flying this battle.

The first mission immediately lets you know what this battle is about. And when you reach around the middle of it, you'll know when, be sure to exercise some patience... Not sure how I feel about this one, so it will sit on a 3 out of 5.

There are some issues, for example when you fail to inspect the Corleone Corvettes (because they died too fast), you don't get a failure message. But with such issues aside this one packs quite a punch. Fly it at your leisure.

It was nothing noteworthy. The concept was interesting as it often is with Ender but the missions themselves except maybe the last one, were nothing to tell home about. And even the last one was somewhat vague in its objectives.

Not sure why it is getting such high marks. I'll try it again in the future but for now, the storyline is ok, the briefing is solid, but the design and execution of the battle is horrible. It... ended me. Also a funny moment, as I was about to finish the last mission I target Harkov's ISD by mistake so he launches two Adv Missiles at me... oh boy. Dont want to refly it. I somehow manage to destroy them both and thought to myself let's target something 'safe' like that big rock over there. Big mistake another adv conc came hurling my way... (this is not though why it got low marks, I actually like the bases and cap ships to have teeth)

Very poorly implemented with some friendlies attacking both you and the other friendly FGs in one mission. The briefing was good, but the execution and the actual battles were buggy and laser-batteried out.

I agree with Rando. There was thought behind the placement of the enemy craft, forcing you to make decisions on target priority. And in case you are wodnering, I always chose to target the B-Wings first! I will be returning for a hard attempt.

Just a few inches above average. The creator at least ensured players will not be able to cheese it. I will be returning for a second look on hard, which will also ultimately decide its final rating.
