Battle Reviews

Pure Cinema!

Thoroughly enjoyed playing this mission from start to finish. I can't wait to see the other missions! The objectives are easily attainable; the mission isn't dragged out; and is a nice peek into TC lore.


Mission Description: N/A (TFTC Mission)
Briefing: Clear and concise, although goes off 'script' due to story.
Objectives: Believable and achievable.
Difficulty Played On: Medium
Multiplayer: No (TFTC Mission)
Replayability: No.
Bugs: Nil observed
Summary: Run escort for an Imperial shuttle as an Admiral changes their command ship. Standby for hijinks and lots of missile spam in the second act.


Fun mission, quick to do, but still engaging combat-wise.


Straightforward and engaging mission. It was fun and easy to get done.


Even if I had some issues with difficulty I still need to give it a 5 because that's my own fault for not being good. While the AI voices can sound weird, I'd pick those over no custom audio every time and in this one they weren't too bad.


This is an excellent and engaging mission. Topical and involving TC events of the time, the mission strongly displays the benefits of TFTC over base XWA. I would consider this an excellent introduction to custom TFTC missions.


Quick, fun storyline. TFTC is gorgeous, WAV pack makes the immersion. Kinda hope that becomes the standard. The briefing officer tts is nearly flawless, other tts is still slightly robotic, but that's just where the technology is currently. The only knock I had was immediately dodging missiles and doing nothing, but dodging missiles in Bpfassh. Only managed to disengage for 1 kill in that sector. Great mission!


Very fun mission, especially as a first for TFTC and as a sendoff for Admiral Stryker. Looking forward to many more!


I love everything about this mission; from story, to design, to the decision to absolutely revel in all the visual glories TFTC has to offer.

Also quite honored to play a part in its story. It's both a wonderful mission and a real dedication to a moment in time in this club, which make up some of my favorite entries in the compendium


A very fun free mission! Besides being quite refreshing playing new EH missions in TFTC, this one was exciting to fly and very well designed.


Fantastically beautiful mission that looks incredibly impressive.
Is well designed and well-paced. Few minor lulls but nothing concerning.
Enjoyable story driven mission that includes great banter. Nice craft selection and the T/D is even more deadly in TFTC


Without shame I will leave a review for my own mission. This is a fun one and I really like what I did with the fleet and the backdrops, especially the in the 3rd region.
