Battle Reviews

Fairly straightforward mission. The messages didn't really tell the treachery story though. And there was a long wait at the end for the ATR to dock with the VSD.


This mission could have been so much better than it was.

The Positives
(1) You get a option of fighter you wish to use, including the venerable TIE/LN, so +1 for that.
(2) Limited to 1 life, so +1 for avoiding missile/torpedo cheese tactics a lot of these missions can be abused by.
(3) Interesting story concept with 3 acts to the mission

The Negatives
(1) The story concept is VERY unclear, it took two goes before I realised what was going on.
(2) The inevitable appearance of Rogue Sqdn.
(3) The 'luck' required to be in the right place when your reinforcements hyper in, otherwise you can potentially lose your cap ship.

Otherwise, very good. One of the best ones I've played thus far.


Plain boring. Confusing objectives and radio dialogue. Unchallenging. In a few words, there are so many good things out there to fly than spending your precious time on this pointless mission.


I really don't know what to say. Was I meant to be the Sith they were talking about? So confused. I don't think I would recommend flying this mission for fun, because it wasn't really, sorry to say. Pretty boring. No bugs to report.


Oh wait! that was intended. ::smacks himself:: Actually, no matter how hopeless the beginning seems, the ending is quite suprising and fun. I always like traitor missions :P


AHHHHHHHH, all the friendly craft run back to the star destroyer, designated as an enemy, leaving you in a T/A against 16 fighters and a platform, It was not enjoyable

Transport Storm moves at 33 m/s when going to dock with the VSD, however on its return is running at full pelt. Not sure if this is intentional, however delays the final act of the story.

Everything started out as if it would be just another simple mission attacking a rebel platform on the outskirts of the Phare system. A lightly defended platform attacked by a VSD and all its TIE squadrons. This was too easy to be true...
