Battle Reviews

Enjoyable set of missions tied together with a nice narrative arc. I found a couple of them to be very difficult, even on easy. And I must have been missing some goals.


Overall, an enjoyable set of missions strung together with a coherent plot that is developed through them, very much in the spirit of TIE Fighter.

Mission 1: I feel like the hyper buoy should be at the same point where my squadron is jumping into to hyperspace at.

Mission 2: I think the rebel shuttle needs to be invincible; the story still works if they don't escape.

Mission 3: Even on Easy, the Immortal just gets completely wrecked by the multiple capital ships. I had to resort to using Unlimited Ammo, so I could take them down myself quickly enough before the Immortal would die.

Mission 4: I realize the corvettes need to not be disable-able for story purposes, but it's always a bummer to find that out after spending some effort trying. Maybe just make them start leaving right away and have their hyper point close to the station? Close enough that a reasonable attempt to disable them before leaving wouldn't be in time.

Mission 5: The conceit that I can't see the rebel ships on my sensors as soon as I jump in is a little weak; is it not possible to have them appear from the station after I scan it?


I agree with Master on this one. The missions are not that memorable, but it's still worth it to play, because of the additional effort put into this remaster.
TFTC graphics, all texts are voiced, even the battle and each mission has a custom image in the simulator!


Worth playing but not exactly memorable. Voice acting is great but the rushed career portrayed in the story leaves it falling a bit flat.
That aside it translates into TFTC really well and looks great.


PAR!

I really enjoyed the story of the original battle, and that is why I chose to remaster it into TFTC. I like these battles that tell the "history" of the EH and I find the missions fun to fly.

Thank you to VA Setzer and my wife in helping do the voices for this battle too.

Please Post A Review! Only way I can improve as a mission designer and check out the battle images in the Combat Simulator too.

Mission 1: My squadron has a different hyperspace point that the hyperbuoy I have to use, leading to a mismatched arrival.

Mission 3: There is no "prevent the Immortal from being destroyed goal"; but there probably should be, because I think the transport to raid the station has to come from it, no?

Mission 5: Some weirdness if you start attacking the closest corvette before inspecting either; the farther one launches and then just flies around in circles. The second doesn't seem to launch until after the Immortal arrives. Seems like they should both launch as soon as either is attacked, and if the Dominator hasn't arrived yet, they get to hyper out and the player loses the mission.

Mission 1: ISD Immortal can be issued orders in region 2. Bringing only one ship into region 2 hard locks the mission.

Introduction
-------------
Some of my favorite stories in the XWA database were written and made by RogueWing. He
graciously has given me permission to remaster his battles into TFTC and I have chosen
to remaster XWA-TC 22: The Career of VA Adrenaline.

This battle tells the story of AD Adrenaline from her days as a new recruit up to her
ascension to the command of Wing XI.

Note 1: Adrenaline was promoted to full Admiral after the original battle was made and
that is why this version has a different name than the original. Also, I have adjusted
the rank of Adrenaline to match what the system says her rank was at each stage of her
career depicted in this battle.

Note 2: We do not currently have a TFTC version of the SSSD Sovereign so a SSD is being
used instead.

Below is the text from RogueWing's original Readme for the battle.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description: 
This battle is a history of VA Adrenaline's career. She is one of the finest officers
that I have ever had the pleasure of working under and this mission is dedicated to
all the hard work she puts into her job as commodore of the ISD Immortal. 
Thank you.
