I have mixed feelings when you are required to do something "wrong" (let an enemy capture a ship). Otherwise it mostly becomes a protect mission and then a long dogfight afterwards if you desire.
I'll take a moment and say that I think I disagree with the concept behind these - a story told across frees over different platforms. I understand the idea and the motivation behind it, but I don't think you can tell a story across frees effectively, and it tends to make missions like this one look worse than it is. In a battle, it'd be fine; as a free, it stands out as being a bit indecipherable story-wise, and not as engaging as you might otherwise expect for something that's pretty well built.

A mission which proves that "challenging" and "frustrating" are not far apart. Personally, I would have used one or two fewer waves of X-Ws. On the other hand, it's a matter of your own personal taste (and ambition) how long you want to fight. The primary goals solve themselves without the player doing anything at all.

This one is for immediate dogfighting lovers. Very intense and difficult to survive with all those advanced missiles against your T/A. Surely survival of the fittest :)
