A good set of missions, which was fun to complete, apart from the inspection mission - this got frustrating really - I finally solved it by going on unlimited waves, inspecting everything required by dumping all my power into my engines, then disabled the key craft as the primary inspection goals start warping away at around the 6min mark - all the while you are getting hassle from A Wings. Not fun. Its doable, but a tricky one compared to the other missions, so prepare your game plan for this one!

An enjoyable set of missions with a solid plotline and missions that were not overly difficult to complete. One of the best battles I've flown in recent memory.

Honestly not a bad set of missions. There is a little bit more to do than just dogfighting in each mission, which breaks it up a little bit. Not a bad selection of mission craft available also. A good set of missions for newer XvT pilots to test their multi-tasking skills in. No bugs found.

Nothing spectacular in particular with Frodo's history of a mission maker, but still an enjoyable set of missions. This battle with a more serious tone has you doing mostly the usual dogfights and inspection stuff. Solid mission overall with good story progression.

I liked this battle. The inspection was a bit maddening but that's ok. It was done in a nice way overall and compared to most of Frodo's battles this can be considered a 'serious' one. I believe most people will enjoy flying it in all the difficulty settings.

A good battle. The plotline is very good and so is the execution of the missions. Player will see a variety of roles, bombing and dogfighting in the usual imperial ordnance, see T/A or GUN. However unoriginal, the battle does succeed to deliver some time of good dogfights and solid fun. Last mission's R&D facility was also well designed and deserves a mention. Not to miss it.

A interesting battle by our hobbit; however, dogfighting a-wings in a Gunboat wasn't all that ammusing to me:P.

A good but not great battle. Fun to fly, but it just lacks something to push it higher. Still, i recommend it for comps or fun!
