Battle Reviews

Very well built. Interesting ideas with some interesting missions. Fun fly. First mission is great.


Love your work, the Star Wars: Squadrons fleet battle in TFTC was really cool! I hope to see a similar free mission for future competition use. The other missions were well designed, one of the missions was really cute


Always fun to do engaging missions with interesting narratives and unique goals and functionalities. Very good.


I prefer the missions in a battle to be more connected through a storyline, rather than along a theme, but that's a matter of personal taste. The missions themselves have a good variety and none of them feel like each other. The "race" mission is a strong proof-of-concept, and I'll be excited to see where that design style goes. I really enjoy the decision choice in the final mission (even though who turns down a chance for more points?), and, as always, the audio files are a great touch.


Played on easy with cheats. Almost wanted to knock it down to a 4 since in mission 4 I believe somehow the base got destroyed so I had to start all over but it wasn't really that bad especially since I like the story. A good mix of missions, and I enjoy having the option of doing more for points or just calling it a day. I also sound like Christopher Walken in this so I'd bump it up to a six if I could. Oh, also I really enjoyed the asteroid race, I'd been thinking about a mission like that so it was fun to experience.


Again, really well designed content! Very fun missions with a lot of variety and a lot of fun seeing several pilots of the TIE Corps flying alongside you. I was very pleased to play a well-executed Star Wars Squadrons adaptation mission too!


PAR!

This battle is very special to me, it is how I have gotten my wife into the EH storyline :-)

And I think the sheer variety of missions is great and I think they are super fun, enjoy.

In mission 5 on hard and easy, the B-Ws and Y-Ws have incorrect attack orders. Because of this, after exiting the hangar, they immediately fly back home. The issue is not present on medium difficulty.

Introduction
-------------
Typhoon pilots are some of the best in the TIE Corps and while they work hard nearly every day for the Corps, they too
sometimes need a day off. Here we chronicle the adventures of many of the Typhoon pilots on their various days off,
even if that day was not supposed to be a day which they took off...

Note: This battle was conceived before VA Locke Setzer ascended to the BGCOM position he now holds and before GN Master
      and GN La'an left to command Firebird and Scorpion Squadron respectively.
