The variety of the ships you get to fly with and against was nice. The plot was very thin if existent at all, and Mission 5 took far too long with lots of missile reloads and strafing passes that ended up being boring.

Mission 5 is a real slog, but the rest was pretty fun.

Decent enough battle. Not really sure I caught the plot in the first mission so was a bit confused with the whole being allied with the Rebels thing but it all worked out.

Entertaining enough battle. Good briefings
Well built but doesn't really stand out.
Good selection of mission types.

An enjoyable selection of missions, with an interesting premise as well, working with, then turning against the rebels. I enjoyed having think a little tactically (especially in the last mission) in order to complete some of the missions - a great 'training' battle for new and established pilots alike.

Last Mission a bit much IMO saying it was to be caught after hyperspacing out lead to a bit of confusion

Not bad, not great. The aesthetic of working with some Rebels and then turning on them at the last minute is neat, but overall the missions don't involve very much. Also they try to convince you to put space bombs on your TIE Defender. How gauche!

An extremely lackluster mission. Most of the missions are the same basic thing and have the same strategy. You focus-fire the capital ships, then mop up fighters. The AI is too stupid to really harass you or your capital ships. The storyline is cool, on a very broad level, but the mission makes very little effort to actually tell the story. It also doesn't help that these missions are ridiculously long. If this mission was in a game that didn't allow you to speed up time, it would be unbearable.

An alright set of missions. I wasn't 100% sure what was going on at first, as there is a severe lack of story line, but i figured it out in the end. My only real beef with this is is takes FOREVER for the Avenger to hyper out in one of the missions. No bugs to report.

The points around reloading constantly with a TD and some of the length issues are pretty valid, but other than that a fairly solid battle. I actually got the story, vague as it was. Wish there was a little more detail there.

I did enjoy this one. Lots of stuff to kill, some degree of planning due to the conditions of defending ships, etc. Overall, fun stuff. Could have used more background story but w/e I'm sold.

There were two main problems with this battle: 1) the plotline was incoherent, and 2) the missions were poorly designed. Since plotline and missions make a battle, this is a bit of a problem. To elaborate: (1) No real storyline was communicated. For some reason, we felt the need to join up with the Rebels, but we never really know why. The bad guys have TIE Defenders, missile boats, and Imperial star destroyers, but we're never told how they came by these powerful weapons (although there's a hint of an explanation in mission 5). (2) There were many technical problems with the battles. For example, capital ships seldom defend themselves, and starfighters sometimes don't behave as they're supposed to. ¶ With substantial work in these two areas, this battle could be made into something, but for now, it's a bit of a dud.

Enjoyable battle although nothing too great. A couple of missions are a bit "destroy this and that and those", but no waves after waves after waves after waves...after waves of 6 A-, B-, X- and Y-Wings. Briefings need a little trimming.

This battle sucked bad. The waiting periods were very irritating and some of the missions seemed designed just to fill up space rather than advance the plotline.

ok i agree with the pointlessness of having to keep reloading but otherwise a good battle

One of the better battles I've played but wasting time in a T/D by getting reload after reload is a bit pointless.

Not a bad little battle... Nice premise, if some of the allocation of resources was a bit wonkey. I.e. having to go back for reloads in a T/D when a MIS would have been a much more economical vehicle to use... :)

A decent battle. I must say my rating on battles is rather low, yet, of my personal taste. A New Dimensions is probably the best early TIE battle there is.

It was a great battle, but one of the missions I actually seriously did go make lunch while I waited for the Avenger to hyperspace out. Is very involving though.

Quiet an entertaining little battle... Sort of a Star Wars meets Star Trek Voyager type of thing... Love to see more battles delving into this kind of idea...

New Dimensions
1) While waiting for Lord Vader in the Galvin system, a Mon Cal appears and
attacks the Avenger. Galvin is an out of the way system, without any planets.
So no one knows what's up until next mission.
Suggested mission goals:
Survival of Avenger
Destruction of 50% of Rebel craft
Suggested spacecraft:
ISD Avenger
CRS Independence
TIE squadrons Beta and/or Gamma, and Alpha
X-Ws, B-Ws, and A-Ws
Neutral Nav buoy or probe (highly recommended for later mission reference)
Suggested plot:
All X-Ws armed with heavy rockets
All B-Ws armed with adv. torps
CRS & ISD jumps out at 2.5 minute mark for unknown reasons
Before CRS & ISD jump a message is sent to the effect of "We are going into hyper
space without knowning why...."
2) For an unknown reason, the ISD Avenger and CRS Independence jump into hyperspace
and come out in unexplored, yet hostile, territory. They have formed a temporary alliance
until they find their way back.
Suggested mission goals:
Survival of Avenger & Independence
Destruction of 50% of neutral craft
Suggested spacecraft:
TIE squads Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Lambda
All types of non-Imperial or Rebel craft (i.e. Z95, R41)
Rebel ships X-W, Y-W, A-W.
Suggested plot:
One neutral group only attacks ISD or CRS
FRG jumps in after all of one neutral ship type destroyed
2 M/FRGs jump in if FRG destroyed
A CORT (or other fast ship) jumps in, scouts the area, and leaves.
No one attacks it.
3) The CORT of the previous mission reveals himself as a scientist of the Byol, who is curious
about the newcomers, instead of hostile. Because of this, the Byol want to kill him. The
Hammer must protect him from harm while he docks with the ISD.
Suggested mission goals:
Survival of ISD & CRS
CORT must complete mission
Suggested spacecraft:
TIE squads Alpha, Gamma, Delta
All neutral ships
Rebel ships X-W, A-W
Suggested plot:
14 seconds into the mission, 2 CRLs jump in
TIE squads Epsilon & Lambda are sent out
Rebels send B-Ws
CRLs launch R41s and assault transports
If all R41s and assault trns destroyed, each CRL launches
an escort trn.
4) Because of the information the Byolian scientist has given the Imperials & Rebels (including
how to get back home!) they want to kill us ALL! Protect the ISD & CRS as they attempt to hold
station and plan for a counterattack.
Suggested mission goals:
Survival of ISD & CRS
Destruction of 50% of neutral craft
Suggested spacecraft:
TIE squads Alpha & Gamma
Neutrals
Rebels X-W, A-W, Y-W
Suggested plot:
20 seconds into it, a FRG jumps in
TIE squad Epsilon OR Lambda sent out
Rebels launch another Y-W group
4 minutes into the fight, 5 TIE Defenders OR 5 Missile Boats jump in to attack
the ISD & CRS (armed with rockets)
5) We have discovered a group of platforms where the Byol are staging the attacks from. If we
can destroy enough of them, there will be more time to make a run for home.
Suggested mission goals:
Survival of ISD & CRS
Destruction of 50% of all platforms
Suggested spacecraft:
TIE squads Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Lambda
Neutrals
4-6 platforms (any class)
Rebel X-W, Y-W, B-W, A-W
Suggested plot:
While the fighters are taking out platforms, the ISD & CRS will head for a hyperspace
point planned by the Byol scientist. If they reach that point, they might get home.
After 1 platform is destroyed, 1-3 CRSs and the same amount of ISDs jump in to stop
the Avenger & Independence and launch half a dozen groups of Veteran-Top Ace T/Ds,
MISs, B-Ws, and X-Ws, most of them attacking one or the other of the capital ships.
6) Now that we are back home, the Rebels will get a surprise! The Avenger will launch every

destroyed. We don't want any Imperial ships to fall into its grasp.
