Excellent mission that had me sweating it right up until the end. Clever design, some good tension waiting for the FRT to ram the platform, following by dogfighting for your life while trying to destroy other targets. Also a good change of place flying a Rebel fighter for an Imperial mission. Difficulty was just right, which is something that a lot of these free missions don't always get correct. Big props to the mission designer on this one.

On your first run, I urge you to inspect the PLT you are not meant to inspect. I feel that one immediately adds depth to this mission. The mission itself is carefully crafted and the various factories and fighters are configured for your enjoyment. A joy to fly the A-Wing and one of the rare times when the speed boost fits the mission (your speed remains at 120 even when you have lasers and shields at max recharge). Excellent mission, I recommend giving this a go.

Very creative proof of concept for ideas that were never explored in the base game, and definitely worth your time. (1) IFF colors are shifted for the players, (2) there's some behind the scenes editing that makes your craft consistently fly at 120 MGLT regardless of your ELS settings, (3) use of trigger logic that XvT/BoP was capable of but never employed. However, having said that, it's not a 'fun' mission to play. The layout is far too cramped and 3D space isn't used effectively. More importantly, engine limitations are pretty apparent: the designer clearly wants to have a dynamic flow, but it's pretty hindered by the draconian trigger system. The cruiser is too tempting to kill, and the easiest way to do it can result in flight groups not spawning (see bug reports). Take heavy rockets for your warheads: it appears to be a noob trap, but it's still the correct loadout as long as you save one for the key transport you'll have to destroy for mission completion.
