5 out of 5 because I'm in it! A must play!! Maybe I'll be in another some day!

This was the first Jagged battle that I did not enjoy. The missions were all very short, two of them were not beatable on hard without unlimited ammo (trying to destroy a capital ship in a T/A with 16 advanced concussion missiles while your entire fleet is wiped out in one minute), mission objectives were confusing (Objective is to destroy small ships but you have to kill two full size cruisers), bizarre bugs (being able to enter the hangar in mission 4 after your capital ships are destroyed). I think the battle could definitely have had a couple more missions (maybe the Interdictor in mission 2 gets disabled and used against you later to prevent an escape, or your forces find an abandoned pirate outpost and make it functional, or hide in some asteroids from mission 3, prolonging the last stand and making it longer than a 2 minute mission.

Having to keep chaff running so that you didn't get killed by a random torpedo that just happened to cross your path was also a negative. The battle lines in mission two also didn't make sense (Interdictors at the front where they could be easily killed, no lancer or carrack cruisers for anti-starfighter defense protecting the capital ships, although it is possible this was done for plot reasons. Also rather strange that in mission 3 your ships are repairing damage but are at 100% shields/hull, and in the final mission they are at 50% and charging.

PAR!

I think this is a great battle and had fun making it, even if it did take me a LONG time to do it due to other priorities and passions. If you like triumphant battles, this one won't be for you but for everyone else it should be a fun fly. Remember the Roost!
