21 minutes on easy with full cheats. Most of this was waiting. Unacceptable. Why have such long distances and have one set of transports capturing wait for the next set to return? Insane amount of waiting!
A pretty solid mission with some interesting twists like the CORT flying around and mocking you. Not quite sure why the immortal shows up with preybirds and experimental TIES, but it works ok.
Not very fun, and very difficult even on easy with ATR's with pretty high AI and missiles without the player having any countermeasures. The invincible Hound does not help. The story doesn't have much of a point either.
The mission is functional, but there is a ton of waiting both at the beginning and the end, which is super annoying. Also loses a point for using gunboats vs much more maneuverable craft. Nothing spectacular on the story.
There is tons of waiting in mission 3, and mission 1 is nearly impossible to both kill the all the asteroid platforms (that start with double shields, who does that? They take 18 heavy rockets to kill) and still damage the platform enough that the TIE/D's are still alive to disable it. I could barely complete mission 1 with unlimited waves to get tons of heavy rockets.
The battle is creative and well put together, right up until the last mission. It is ridiculously difficult. One tip is to call for reinforcements (SHIFT + S) immediately upon starting the mission. That helps a lot, and frankly makes it even possible, on easy!
Creative, but way too long, hard to figure out what is going on in each mission. Mission 26 is nearly impossible even while using unlimited ammo and invulnerability because the freighters hyper out so quickly and the ATR's will die if you don't get the interceptors quickly. All I can say is that I'm glad its over and I didn't get stuck not being able to complete it after spending the time one 20 or so missions. Break this up!
kind of a sloppy mission, the orders seem to be wrong for the enemies. It is nearly impossible on hard. whole squadrons go straight for you despite all the other imperials around and they never miss. I never thought I'd have such trouble with z-95's
