Battle Reviews

Mission Description: Preamble explaining criteria for mission creation
Mission Briefing: Clear and concise
Objectives: Achievable but unbelievable 'you vs. the entire fleet' (see summary)
Difficulty Played On: Medium
Replayability: Yes (Ordinance, Beam and Countermeasure Selection)
Bugs: Nil Observed
Mission Debrief: Story style internal narrative.
Summary: Take out a couple of Capital ships and their supporting snubfighters, pretty much by yourself due to your wingmates dying very easily and your support ships not scrambling reinforcements.


A pair of pirate CRSes vs. the Challenge, the Interdictor Fairchild, and a flight of Tornado Squadron. Fairly standard mission, although your experience may vary greatly depending on your difficulty level...


An incredibly poorly balanced mission that sees the player and 3 wingmen vs 150+ enemy starfighters. You aren't given enough warheads to destroy the cruisers, as they have twin advanced concussion missile launchers, all enemy craft have advanced warheads and countermeasures and 200% shields. The decoy beam system doesn't work properly as enemy ships will simply patrol for craft to attack and resume firing at you once the beam is deactivated. At some points it is possible to be under attack from 25 starfighters at once, and you cannot kite them because you have to protect your interdictor from 2 squadrons of enemy fighters with rockets. Your wingmen will die within 30 seconds and reinforcements consist of 4 T/A that will also die in 30 seconds, leaving you to solo the mission.


I felt like the combat and story was a bit better than XWA-F 151 in this mission and way better than XWA-F 152.
