Summary: Space superiority overseeing supply transfers to an ISD. Suffered slightly for aimbot AI on med+ difficulty.


Perfectly balanced for easy and medium, hard not so much. You get one wave of four craft with standard missiles and no beam system while you are outnumbered 10:1 and must protect a platform, a corvette, an ISD and a modular conveyor. The issue is that you must protect multiple of them at the same time, sometimes 3 of them are under attack simultaneously. You need more craft on hard to deal with them all, or 200% shields/better warheads/beam system. They also arrive at the same time, meaning there is no way to stagger the waves arriving. A random kamikaze corvette with 200% shields also appears to destroy your platform that you have 30 seconds to kill or you fail.


Excellent design. Excellent pace. Action packed fun. I found this mission highly enjoyable and giving it a rare 5 out of 5. The mission maker did a good job with the finer points of this mission and looking forward to trying it on hard!


Nice mission about protecting a Platform and several other moving targets. The T/A is the most frequent fighter out there, and you can understand why. It is bread and butter when it comes to dogfighting. Not the quickest but nevertheless a aood mission and worth a try


This mission was not too easy on medium. Good feeling and I liked the idea of protecting ISD Chandon while it was being loaded with planetary assault equipment (e.g. AT-AT's and troops). Unfortunately I discovered some duplication of FG Goals and GGs, but that was just cosmetic and the mission works fine nonetheless!

A-Wing sword will attack whatever target is closest to it instead of attacking fighters. Corvette Griffon should be set to have an instant explosion; if destroyed too close to the platform it will still crash into it and destroy it. Corvette Amtar does not fire back at attacking fighters. On easy T/A Eagle and gunboat XI do not always attack nearby craft.
