Battle Reviews

I thought this battle was overrated. There were several annoying things like starting at <100% shields, starting about to crash into a factory and having to turn immediately, and the fourth mission, which was unnecessarily difficult compared to the other missions for no reason. I like having to be tactical in the approach to missions, and I know some may like having to do things like disable some enemies and leave them alive just to offset the rhythm of the next group spawning, but I don't as it destroys any realism and it's annoying to only figure that out after dying against overwhelming odds. Most missions were okay other than the annoying parts.


Mike dies too easily b/c of his silly kamikaze attacks in a T/A on "Easy"... other than that it was fun.


Great battle! I liked the plotline! Only thing that was a bit irritiating is Mike flying around and diyng foolishly :P


Wow, I loved the fortress, I loved the missions concepts. The ONLY thing that is preventing me from giving this battle a 5 is that I don't like ship orders that are "wait". Other than that, it was near perfect. Excellent work Mike

Mission 3: Two conflicting mission failure parameters. In addition, losing the reinforcement craft or FA Sydlowski does not trigger mission failure.

Mission 4: E/S Messenger leaves the area with the RS Interdictor still present.

Note: 
	This battle is intended to be easy on easy level, but it can be hell on hard. So don't cry and become better player. Remember. XvT increases AI of all ships by 2 on hard, so it will not be easy. I'm not even sure if it's possible to complete all missions on hard, we it is but you must be really good.
