Battle Reviews

A solidly constructed battle, very reminiscent of the original campaign's style. The early missions are a bit too easy, but it is nice that the difficulty builds over the course of the battle.


I liked the puzzle aspect of how to inspect and chase ships in some of the missions. I thought mission 3 was a little too difficult on Medium; I had a really tough time with that one.


It would be a solid battle but it features the usual plethora of bugs, flight groups all sharing a name, bonus goals set to 0 90% of the time, bizarre goals such as inspecting your own craft & craft that leave as soon as they arrive.


Played on easy with cheats. The story is good in this one. The combat isn't bad but isn't amazing either.


Flew this for the Remob4 competition. It's a battle with a decent and solid plotline, well thought out and made... none of that endless waves grinding or solo MIS or T/D vs an armada of rebels. A solid recommendation.


Probably one of the best battles i've played, i really like these patrol and inspect missions. Really feels like you're on actual patrol, checking out frigates that passes by. Definitely recommend


A pleasant five mission battle based on returning to the Sepan System to patrol and monitor mysterious traffic patterns.
I liked the more realistic missions that started with just a simple patrol and saw the latter missions grow into something more as the plot unfolds.
Though simple, the plot was enjoyable and the battle finished with a decent conclusion.
The mission briefings are of a good quality and are straight forward with a few pages. The officer text however, is very well written and will often span several pages.
I found the missions to be well made, though slow at times. I had no issues in regards to difficult in completing this battle.


A short, simple battle. The design is comparable to some of the earlier official TIE Fighter battles. Good use of the basic T/F without being annoying. While simple and relatively easy, some of the secondary goals and bonuses can be challenging. The missions are varied enough to make them feel different, and there's plenty of text in the officer questions to explain and develop the plot. The missions are fairly well constructed, but with a few odd issues. The only real problem is in the second mission, a freighter exiting hyperspace sometimes collides with a mission critical container.


Liked it. Well balanced.


It's good to see battles where you go "back in time" alittle. No superfighters. No incredibly hard missions, good old classic fighters.


A well made battle with a reasonable plot.


Well, I like this battle. First of you dont have those superfighters like the TD or the MIS or the TA, you have a simple TF, a simple TI and a simple Gunboat. The story is well told, especially the officer says more things you can imagine to hear on a warship then: "Go there and destroy this". The missions were a bit easy so no 5, but I have enjoyed this one so I can recommend it.

DeepSpace Syndicate Activity

(FL/GN Jeremiah/Tempest-3/ISD Chal)

Version 3 (corrections)

A New Tour of Duty for TIE Fighter
Missions created by the BullFrog (GN Jeremiah, Tempest SQ, FG3)

Story:

An area of space in that vast unknown between the Frontier and the Rim
worlds has recently seen increasing activity.  It had been thought by the 
Empire to be un-inhabitable as well as economically useless, but the recent 
traffic at a hyperspace point near the sector would suggest otherwise.  Your 
goal in the upcoming missions is to determine the reason for the sudden
interest in this area of deep space, especially from private and corporate
organizations, and possibly, establish an Imperial presence there.  It is
important that you proceed with caution, since Imperial command wishes to
arouse no suspicisions, which could lead to Rebel intervention. Understand,
"silence is the key."

Mission Profiles:

The main mission objectives are available in the briefing.  Any secret
or bonus objectives are up to the pilot to discover...

mission 1 - Inspection Duty
          - Assault Gunboat (Scout)
          - Command has noticed increased activity around a relatively
            obscure nav point.  Inspect any craft passing through the area
            untill instructed to return to base.  Watch out for pirates
            and mercenaries...

mission 2 - Capture Operation
          - Assault Gunboat (Scout)
          - From the information gathered in the earlier mission, HQ has
            grown interested in this sector.  Disable a fuel depot currently
            supplying ships in the area so that an assault transport from
            Savage may capture its' crew for interrogation.  Let no ships
            escape...

mission 3 - Assault on the LION
          - TIE Fighter (Delta)
          - In this mission we destroy the flagship and fighter cover of the
            syndicate controling this sector.  You have been assigned to MCRV
            DeepSpace to exact this end as commander of DELTA squadron...

mission 4 - Patrol Duty
          - TIE Fighter (Delta)
          - The recent engagement with the LION has left DeepSpace in need of
            repairs and with little fighter cover.  Currently, DeepSpace has 
            halted its advancement at nav bouy O-34 and is undergoing a
            systems over-haul.  Maintain a standard patrol until the
            Freigter Connor has transferred the necessary parts and TIE
            replacements...
            
mission 5 - Battle over ORION
          - TIE Interceptor (Delta)
          - In this, the final mission of the Tour of Duty, we lay claim to
            the syndicate's homebase and manufacturing facility.  TIE Delta
            will clear all fighter cover (expect the best), while escort 
            transports from Dragon disable the factory and assault transports
            from Savage capture it.  TIE Delta maintains a standard patrol
            until the Frigate Sumter arrives to relieve MCRV DeepSpace of
            operations...

Directions:

These missions are distributed freely and at the user's own risk!
Make sure mission and batch files are unzipped in the TIE\MISSION directory
To install, simply type DSPINS.BAT
Play Battle #2 in TIE Fighter

If you are playing with the TIE Fighter CD, I would recommend turning off
the vocalized mission briefings since they will not match with what is
written.

To de-install, simply type DSPBACK.BAT

Requirements:

TIE Fighter and Defender of the Empire, or the TIE Fighter CD, both 
by LucasArts.

Note about compatablility with the TIE CD:

These missions where created before the TIE CD came out, so I am not sure
about their compatability with it.  The missions seem to run fine, as well
as the briefings, although I did run into some slight text problems in the
questions section (mission 5)...

Credits:

This version (3) includes the corrections of version 2 that were called to 
my attention by Patrick Atoon (Thanks again), as well as several briefing
problems that where encountered using TIE CD.  At the moment, it appears 
question responses over 3 pages in length are 'cut' by the game.

Missions created using TIE MISSION BUILDER 1.21, by SilverSoftware
Briefings created with BSL.EXE and COMPILE.EXE, by SilverSoftware
Format of the batch files by Micheal "Vyper" Stauber, who also created

All these programs are available on the "Star Wars Archive,"
anybody with any computer experience can find it on the net.

Notes and Requests:

These missions are meant to be played on the medium or hard levels,
but most dedicated TFRs will find them extremely easy.  They were created
on a lower end 486, so there are not all that many flight groups and those
pilots who just like to kill things, even their own capitol ships, will not
get too much enjoyment out of them. The missions reflect my ideas that any 
organization, Imperial, Rebel, or otherwise, would not have the capitol or
resources to throw large numbers of spacecraft into battle.  Also, there
are no super TIE fighters, like the Advanced or Defender (ie GOD MODE), so
get used to flying stock TIE like most other pilots in the Imperial Navy.
One final note, most ships will try to leave once they have been sufficently
damaged, so don't get left behind in the cold vacuum of space in your lonely
TIE Fighter.

You may do with these missions what you will, but if you distribute them, 
please include this text file.  All I ask in return is that you drop me a  
line, with any comments, good or bad, at the following email address.  It
may motivate me to create more.
