A bit light for such an epic sounding battle.
Its easy enough on easy though there are some wait times.
Always fun to see the SSSD. Works well enough, just lacking.

Well this was a doozy. I'll frame this positively by saying that needing to complete this mission made me get all my patches in order and got the game running smoothly. The penultimate mission requires you to make the Iron Fist withdraw, which requires you to take out its shields. Don't do what I did and ignore that until it's too late. Also, if the Sovereign does not show up in that mission, something is wrong, and you won't be able to complete it.

I appreciate the attempt at building a story, but it's unfortunate the battle can't make use of cutscenes between missions to do so, leaving the after-action screens to cover the information normally covered there, in the format normally used.
The battle feels like it builds to the penultimate mission, with the final mission just feeling tacked on. I get the fun of seeing the Sovereign in action, but maybe the story should have been constructed in such a way that we use it against what we've been fighting, rather than some nameless warlord all of a sudden. Ultimately, it robs the battle of any payoff, leaving the experience feeling somewhat empty.
Mission 4 seems designed with the expectation of using unlimited ammo. There is a reload craft, but it only has a few rounds of reloads before it flies home, not nearly enough to take down a SSD's shields BY YOURSELF. The other missile boats on your side follow the usual procedure of locking on to a target before launching, so, of course, all of their warheads just get shot down. I can appreciate it may be difficult to balance a mission like this, but just giving up with the caveat that unlimited ammo solves the problem is incredibly disappointing.

Pretty great battle! I think the Sov model lets it down a bit (enemy ships flying through the OPT is less than ideal), and I might have swapped the last two missions (hard to top fighting a SSD), but these are quibbles. It's a good time! Give it a go!

Aside from a few minor issues, the battle is well constructed and has a very good story. Definitely worth flying.

I played on Easy with cheats. I really like this series of missions, especially the final mission. I love watching gigantic capital ships battle it out and they don't get much bigger than the SSSD. I can't wait until they release the SSSSD.

Overall good: cool large-scale battles that fit well with the pretty interesting plot, but the missions were a little too much. They seemed a bit excessive to complete without cheats.

Uninspired mission with waves, after waves, after waves... after waves... Mission three literally took me 58min of shooting down fighters that did not really do much other than fly in circles. It's like looking at a fish tank. Also a bit buggy.

All hail the SSSD Sovereign! I really enjoyed this battle and the magnificiency of the EH flagship, back in the glory days. The ship is breath-taking. The plotline is very nice, and the text of the briefings is amazing. Very immersive narrative. One terrible thing though was the mission against the SSD Iron Fist, it took literally eons to go down. On the other side, the shields on the Sov seem to be made of butter and melted cheese. These two flaws, prevented me to give it a solid 5. Boy, the Sov was glorious and to be proud of. Even if I was in the Collie.

This battle was challenging, even with invincibility and unlimited ammo. I'm not sure how you would complete the last mission without the latter. It was fun to take on an enemy SSD in the penultimate mission and cool (if not totally necessary) to see the Sov in the last mission.

Poor really poor;mission 1: the Imperial T/D Squadron was eliminated in 2 minutes ,then alone to fight waves and waves of A-W and X-W; after 39 kills I was killed with the question: where is this famous station Golan? I dont have see nothing with this name allround.And the Sovereing is there more as obstacle then as help;many times I had in last second to maneuver to evite a colission with him.

One word to sum this up: Wow! It was awesome to see the Sov in all her glory. And the plotline was good, too. Except I didn't have the S-foils patch installed, so the mission with the MIS was interesting, to say the least. Great work!

Good Battle! Not too hard, but not stupidly easy either, you have to use the old brain a bit to get through this.

Seeing the Sovereign is always great, but it seemed like I had to do everything in some missions(especially the one in the missile boat where I had to destroy many many T/As with Adv Torp before taking on my actual objectives(capships) ) but it was still good globally... The only thing I regret is not to have seen the Sov's superlaser in action :p

I am at the end of the next-to-last mission. The goal remains to "Make the Iron Fist withdraw" but it has already gone into hyperspace. Everything else is dead; it's just me and my wingmen flying in circles right now.
