Well, some promising things in there but badly implemented. The mission creator was clearly going for a spectacular SSD vs tons of enemies scenario. Interesting concept and potentially a great one but poorly implemented.

Avoid this one like the plague. The storyline is great. You show up unannounced at a B-Wing facility and attempt to capture a B-Wing. You are flying in a shieldless T/F and have to help the gunboats disable a couple of targets. OK, OK, no problem. What comes out to carry the B-Wing home is a TUG that takes 5 mins to traverse 0.10k. OK, OK I can wait that long no worries. There is a countdown of 20 mins, but the tug will only take 5 so no problem! Half way through, a rebel frigate and tons of fighters show up and try to destroy everything and here you are in your shieldless T/F... Someway, somehow you survive it (I will not spoil how I did it). So now you are waiting for the TUG tog et home which somehow hasnt yet, because GUESS WHAT!? Your ISD is hyperspacing home and thus outpacing the TUG. So I spent another ten good minutes watching the ISD slowly but steadily get further away from the TUG.

Stupidly nuts. I do appreciate the design and tweaking that went into it, but it's clearly a troll mission. I laughed very hard and will not spoil it, I dare you to try it.

Between Ender and Frodo we have all bases covered. This mission is just plain nuts. Shoot the moving asteroids. I dare you!

Of course it's a Dempsey Mission! I hadn't noticed, but now that I came out of it, it makes perfect sense. Well, it's a hard one, play it if you like. I do recommend it highly.

A little anticlimatic, but as always Frodo makes good use of the tools given to him. Creative, but on this occasion not so much fun. Still, fly it for completion points.

The humour just didnt land for me at least, this time around. Maybe it's because the mission itself was not very well implemented. Personal taste. Feel free to give it a go and form your own opinion, but as a mission, it was rather dull.

I cannot imagine myself attempting any of Frodo's battles on hard. This is about average on the Frodo scale. I did like visiting grandma's house for some cookies.

A bit on the too easy side. Fly it for completion points or to enjoy the T/D Maybe this can be an interesting challenge for a high score chase though.

I actually like the difficulty of this mission and the platforms and factories being so good at firing at you. My only issue is the AI fighter you have to prevent from dying. Kate!!!!

Not sure why all the hate. I found this battle to be quite good and a nice homage through his entire 'EH life'. I could see he picked key milestones and the missions themselves, most of them, were quite fun. Is it perfect? No. He did at least know better and put the transports to fly to a waypoint first and then carry out a docking order. It was a bit exhausting, but that's because it was 14 missions long.

A tantalizing start, which lead us to a snoozefest. I will try it on hard at some point in my life, to see whether it has something more to offer.

Frodo and his comm sats! It's an ok mission for a single-mission battle. I like the fact that the Platform has teeth. It makes you think twice every time you turn towards it.

Gunboats and the chocolate factory. How many chocolates in the shape of Rebel capital ships would you like? Yes. It offers a few minutes of mindless fun.

The last mission was brilliant. Not in terms of design or execution, just very very fun. A gunboat in a candy shop. The rest however were lacklustre and flawed.

Mixed bag of goods. Some fundamental flaws and insufficient testing spoiled it early on. The last mission is very enjoyable though and also I like the fact those factories can bite. Most people make the AI way too easy.

Aesthetics were very good. The briefing excellent. Clearly the mission creator put a lot of effort into it. There are a few issues here and there and the early missions are essentially the same. This one will not win any awards but it is worth giving it a try, especially for the nice last mission.

We somehow ... smuggled this BoP Battle into the compendium. It is an ok storyline, but it is half-baked. As others already pointed out the fighters suffer from incomplete orders and the placement of some craft feels a bit off and irrelevant. So, ok cool factor of seeing the SSD but that's about it really.

This one was a big waste of my time. One of the rebel fighters never appears so the mission is stuck at 97%, probably due to having more than the maximum number of craft allowed.

A nice mission to fly as a choice between T/D, M/B and ... T/A? Surely pick the last one! At least this mission had effort oozing out of it. I recommend giving this one a go.

Simply excellent. A mission with a lot of moving parts, a nice storyline and all of it packed into a single mission. There is one issue whereby if you don't inspect the CORT before it dies, you are screwed and the mission doesn't tell you are screwed but otherwise an excellent mission.

Decent mission. Noting it down to attempt it on hard. Well crafted and you get to do one of the things the gunboat does best. I also like the fact the ships seem to react to your actions, like the freighter attempting to flee. The attention to those smaller details makes this one stand out.

Yet another entertaining mission by Frodo. Always with a good grasp of the game's mechanics and event triggers and very consistent within his Frodo 'Universe'.

Solid mission, though Mr Gunboat Tacky spoils all the fun. Otherwise a decent mission, give it a try. :)

Simple and straightforward fun. Destroy the convoy at will. A demonstration of the T/Ds superiority and if you are a fan of the T/D this is a good mission for you.
