YOU MUST SAVE THOSE ARCHIVES! YOU MUST!!! IN HONOUR OF THIS BATTLE, I SHALL DESCRIBE IT IN CAPS! IT'S FAST AND EASY. THE LAST MISSION MIGHT TRIP YOU, MIND THOSE A-WINGS FROM FG YELLOW AND CONSIDER DISABLING THE FRIGATE WHEN YOU GET THE CHANCE. OTHERWISE SMOOTH SAILING AND A LAZILY QUICKLY-THROWN TOGETHER UNTESTED, BATTLE.

Actually this was a very fun battle, I only had the game to crash one time, mission 4 was a bit tough for me but enjoyable

Pretty straight forward battle to save the archives. Mostly shuttle defense and escort missions, take care of those pesky a-wings! Definitely recommended

I played on Medium except for Mission 4, which I played on Easy. These missions are a mixed bag but, overall, the Battle is pretty lackluster. The entire premise of this Battle is to protect shuttles carrying the Emperor's Archives. The issue is that protecting them is trivial (except for Mission 4) in most of the missions. One of the missions doesn't even require you to keep the shuttles alive. Most of the missions have the shuttles hyperspace out incredibly quickly and they were never in any danger. Missions 1-3 are a breeze and then Mission 4 is really tough, in stark contrast to the rest of the missions. I think this could definitely be rated higher if some more polish had been put on it.

Generally a well-constructed battle. The story is not the most ambitious, guarding the Emperor's archives in a transfer, but it's executed really well. The mission arc is believable, and each mission is in that sweet spot of driving the story forward without being incremental. The missions themselves, while not too long or complex, are generally well designed too.

A well laid out 4 mission battle based on the plot of protecting the Emperor's archives. I found the missions briefings to be rather fast paced and to the point, though they served their purpose and I found the officer reports to be extremely casual and added very little to the story line. The plot unfolds well enough across the missions which are pretty basic and easy to complete. Mission four is probably the hardest of the bunch and will require a closer watch on your mission objectives.

This battle provides an easy opportunity for additional FCHG with little in the way of real challenge, even at higher difficulty levels. The first missions is fairly tedious, due to a lengthy dogfight, which is somewhat mitigated by the rapidity of missions 2 and 3 to complete. Mission 4 is not particularly challenging, as long as the SHU is closely protected. The battle as a whole can be completed in under 30 minutes, with no gameplay issues or apparent bugs.

Very easy battle, even on HARD dificulty. Poor briefings and questions. No critical bugs tho.
Only the Emperor himself knows how the transports became shuttles between missions 1 and 2.
Patrol craft with starfighter behavior is not good. Missions lack plot twists and some additional events to 'kill the all' action. Only the last mission gives you some small challenge.

Poorly designed. Half the time, saving the archives isn't even a goal, and you're stuck destroying enemy fighters while your cargo craft are long gone. It's also funny how 4 ETRs in mission 1 turn into 2 SHU in mission 4. And of course, the one mission where they do get attacked you get the lame SHU to protect against a quartet of A-wings....

Overall, this battle was decent. Not particularly good, not particularly bad. There really isn't any sort of plot besides the vague notion of important cargo, but the missions seem to get better as they go along, and the last one was very fun and quick moving.

Challenging goals in some, but achievable by most. I'd say an excellent comp battle.

This battle had a poor mission design. None of the critical craft in any of the battles were in any danger. Even worse, your forces would be excellent in combat to the point where it was humiliating to try and fly yourself. Other than that, the story/plot behind the battle was a little better, not to mention the overall succession of the missions to provide some interesting points.

Not an overall bad mission. The storyline makes up for some of the battle weaknesses that my fellow pilots have mentioned.

It was craptacular. It possessed absolutely no storyline whatsoever, and what they tell you in the briefing doesn't correspond with the actual mission objectives. All you do in this battle is blow crap up, and the only reason I give it a 2 is because I like blowing crap up. Otherwise, it deserves a 1.
