Battle Reviews

I really like this one (and I'm not just saying that as a current Typhoon member who greatly appreciates a battle with Typhoon and the rest of the squadrons of Wing X). The plot is terrific - well above what you typically see in the compendium. There's certainly a few areas where it could be better technically, but nothing that impairs it from being an enjoyable one to fly. Definitely worth flying!


I played on Easy with cheats. This is a very quick battle if you play it like this. I can't speak to what this battle would look like if you played on higher difficulty levels, but there seems to be enough secondary objectives to make it interesting.


I actually rather enjoyed this one. It had some good story stuff behind it and I liked the fact that it involved a meeting between leaders that came under attack. The fight with the TIE Defenders and TIE Advanced was also really good.


Not a brilliant battle, as mentioned by a few reviews the plot is a bit on the light side and features multiple typos. The final mission can be frustrating, but with reinforcements called can be completed easily.


This was a rare battle where my frustration with it prevented full completion. The first missions were readily completed, with mission 1 requiring no involvement and mission 2 rapid as long as the AW are killed off. Mission 3 was fairly bland but rapid despite a short wait, however mission 4 caused me consistent issues on medium or high difficulty due to the insistence on massed superfighters. A better pilot would likely enjoy the challenge, but it added little to the already fairly lightweight plot.


It was interesting, but the many typos and such kept it from being realistic. The dogfighting was okay, but I wish the plot had flowed better. Average, I suppose.


I liked this one. It had a good balance between Story & Action, it was not easy or hard, which are 4 very hard things to accomplish when designing battle. Very Nice!!


The missions were wonderfully laid out and were great fun!


The missions were good and the story was intresting enough to keep going, lots of rebals to anihalate. The difficulty level was moderately hard. Good idea making it a to be continued.


I think that it was a pretty good battle... nothing like TIE 85 where it's like 'shoot a Wing of rebel's and go home'. Pretty funny with Jerec as a GA and the bad guy :P


Eh, it was OK. Pretty good, but Callista's made better.


Good battle. Fun, exciting. Couple ISD's to destroy. Overall a good battle.

Title: A Question of Loyalty
Number of missions: 4
Medal for this battle: Medal of Loyalty
Game platform: TIE Fighter

Mission 1: Make some friends today!

The communications officer of the ISD Challenge has picked up a strange
distress code from a ship in the Coih sector. It looks like an Imperial
Code, but no EH ships are supposed to be there at the moment. WC 
Darklord decides to have a patrol sent there, composed of a flight
of T/Ds, MIS and T/As. They will find out who sent the distress code
and why and take action if necessary. The ISD Challenge will hyper
into the system later, when the biggest part of any possible enemy 
fighter danger is cleared.
Find the sender of the seemingly Imperial distress call and do what
you think is necessary. You must decide whether to take action or
not, depending on who and what you are going to find there. Your
ship is equipped with a double load of advanced missiles, just in
case you will have to use some of them on capital ships. Make sure
the Challenge is not threatened by enemy bombers or the like when
it hypers in.


Mission 2: Have a cup of tea!

We found that the Imperials we helped to get out of the Rebel ambush
are part of Grand Admiral Jerec's fleet, the so-called Tosye fleet.
The Star Destroyer we have saved from certain annihalation is commanded
by Admiral Selc, one of the higher officers of the Tosye fleet. 
He was very impressed with our showing up at Coih, and has requested
a private meeting with WC Darklord to voice his thanks.
WC Darklord and Admiral Selc will meet in the P'sia sector, not too 
far from Coih. Their shuttles will dock so Selc can board Darklord's
shuttle. They must both be protected, in case the Rebels show up 
again. You are assigned to escort Darklord's shuttle and protect it
from any danger that might appear. 


Mission 3: Home is where the heart is

It has turned out that Admiral Selc has not only met up with Darklord
to have a little smalltalk, he has decided to join the EH with his
crew and Star Destroyer! Of course, WC Darklord is quite enthusiastic
about this and has gone back to Aurora to bring GA Ronin the great 
news and to prepare Selc's arrival. GA Jerec will certainly not be
too happy about this though, so you are sent out to meet up with 
Selc and his crew and secure their safe journey to Aurora. To make
matters worse, Selc has reported a hyperdrive failure on board his
Star Destroyer, we assume sabotage. A transport will board the 
Nirvana to repair the damage, and you will make sure that the Nirvana
hypers out heading for Aurora the second the repairs are complete!
We must not risk anything! 


Mission 4: An eye for an eye
GA Jerec has found Selc and discovered his plans of defection. 
Certainly, a spy onboard the Nirvana responsible for this. However,
Selc's Star Destroyer has been destroyed and he himself killed
in the explosion. Jerec did not attack our forces, he just wanted to 
punish Selc for his disloyalty.
We cannot do anything to bring Selc back to life, but we will 
avenge him accordingly. We will not tolerate the loss of one of
'our' Star Destroyers! We have located Jerec's Star Destroyer
Civilization in the Qoej sector, where it seems to wait for 
reinforcements. This is our chance to strike while Jerec is 
vulnerable and without resources! The ISD Challenge will hyper
in attacking the Civilization, while you are to destroy any and
all Tosye enemy fighters. The ISDs Relentless and Colossus will
join the Challenge in its task and finish Jerec off. Make sure
you complete your primary goals before Jerec's reinforcements
arrive, the Challenge must survive!
