Very buggy for a free mission, and incredibly bland. Needed to be properly tested before release.

Fun little mission. Fight Rebel fighters. Dogfight. Kill a platform. Totally fine.

No real story, but a fun dogfighting mission that isn't too hard on easy.

I liked this mission. Excellent job there by Trido. Noting it down for future refly on hard. The events as they unfold also make excellent sense which is a big plus. I flew so much garbage that finding a mission whereby the behaviour of the Rebels makes sense, makes it stand out!

Excellent mission. It starts as a classical attack on the platform, but then some enemy reinforcements arrive and the tide turns against you. Multiple bombers will try (and eventually succeed unless you prevent it) to sink your ISD. Fighting on both fronts was invigorating and a lot of fun. Well balanced mission. Not to miss it.

A difficult mission, even on medium. A classic and a must for anyone who likes both dogfights and desperate Y-Wing killing.

A decent XvT mission. Not perfect, worth the time.

Battle Bug Reports

1. Fighters have waypoints on the same Z plane as the Relentless, and cross its path causing AI collisions in quiet moments
2. All Starships seem to have Fighter orders judging by the way they're moving.
2025-03-27
Bonus point goals exist for destroying 100% of friendly FG's for All T/A groups. ISD Relentless has a goal for 75% of it's FG to withdraw, which is impossible. ISD Relentless has no withdrawal orders. Radio message about the Relentless withdrawing will not play as a result of this. ISD Relentless is on the players' radio. All Rebel starfighters have an additional number after their name which is not required. Platform Onslaught has starfighter orders and is ordered to disable enemy fighters. X-Wing group Blue will drop out of hyperspace inside of Platform Onslaught and immediately blow up or will crash into it and die. INT Constrainer, CRV Menara & CRV Kivart have starfighter orders. All three of those ships will attack and destroy each other shortly after arriving. PLT Onslaught has conflicting bonus goals of must have survived/must be destroyed. INT Constrainer has conflicting bonus goals of must withdraw/have survived.

enemy caps have starfighter orders - the INT Constrainer is even attacking itself...
