I do not profess to be some super space jockey. I am an average pilot with an average rank in an average position in the EH, and so to many this would not matter. Mission #4 and #5 are way too hard for the average player, and there are no difficulty settings to correct this. Mission #1 and #2 are way too easy for the average player, easily completable without even participating. All i all, the battle is not consistent. I ended up using unlimted craft on the last 3 missions in all, but the last one was pretty much so it would be over. Also, on Mission #4, the endgame was timed at 15 minutes...zzzzz!
Too repetitive on the first missions....A wing after A-wing. The second to last mission is waaaay too long....disabling capital ships in a Defender is't very exciting, but that's me. The plotline is kinda dry, as well.
It is not the Star Trek theme...I do not mind that at all. Rather, it is a very unchallenging mission....ANY pilot can finish this mission on Hard, which devalues the mission's ability to rate a pilot's performance considerably.
This mission is fast-paced and high on kill ratios. Capital ships move haphazardly, spinning in different directions, which unfortunately cuts down on realism. Missile boat missions are the hardest. Still, a fun mission with TONS of action!
