Fun enough mission. Challenge if u send your wingmen home.
I enjoyed it for the most part even if it is a bit light on story.
Worth a fly.

Boring combat and mission design, not a super strong story.

I concur with the other reviews here - its an okay mission, as I could play through it fine, but quite a simple offering. I was unsure why lots of the enemy craft didn't count towards the 'kill rebel scum' objective - it only seemed to be the Xwings at the end of the mission, but hey, it worked out fine. Briefing need much more work though!

Fairly anemic briefing, and simple mission; kill a couple of caps and its fighters. Some X-wings appeared out of nowhere at the end for some reason. With a little more work in the story (and maybe some corvettes or something to explain the X-wings?) I think it could easily score higher.

No other word could describe this FREE mission better than EASY. Squared. Actually, chances are that if you complete the first objective on Region 2 quick enough and pick the RIGHT beam and warhead choices you'll pass the rest of the mission contemplating how your buddies take care of the rest of the battle. Add here the ridiculously short animated briefing and the senseless plot and... oh well, I gave it a 2 because it's almost bug-free and because I don't want the efforts of the mission creator to go unrecognized.
