Summary: Deal with a troublesome merchant outpost in what is a quite quick and simple mission, albeit well put together and with additional bonus objectives to those willing to stay around.

Simple and enjoyable mission with clear gaols - just concentrate on the platform for the 'easy' win - you get more point wiping everything out though, which does mean a lot of lasering down of objectives, which is, as always, pretty dull. Worth giving this one a go though!

Another angry mob of rebels, another platform to hit. I'm not sure how many variations on this theme I've played for XvT Free, but the answer is 'too many.' Story isn't really worth writing home about so I'll cover mechanics briefly; just go for the platform. However you find is best to blow it up asap, choose your flavor and go! Disclaimer though, this was on easy. Your mileage may vary on higher difficulty levels.

I played on Easy. You just need to melt the Platform with rockets. This mission is incredibly quick. I could see it being more challenging on higher difficulty levels, as there's a lot of other platform-esque enemies in this mission.

I threw a kitchen sink in this one. There was a platform that just wanted my rockets and so I threw everything I had at it. Mission complete. Nothing else worth mentioning about it.

Simple but well built. Can be completed very easily as the primary goal is nothing more than a bombing run against stationary targets and you and your wingmen are armed with heavy rockets.

I've started downgrading this kind of missions. The armaments of the human players should always be taken into account, to keep it as a challenge. Not the ISD :P

Quick and simple. Bombing run on to some PLTs and CNs. Not a milk run, but can be done with fast action and then turning on the fighters, as an additional task. Worth a try.

Mission of decent workmanship, awefully short, though.

A nice and challenging battle, but way too easy and quick if you just want to complete the primary objectives. So I give it a 3 instead of a 4 due to the bad choice of objectives.

This mission was well made and had a good Idea, the only flaw is that it only lasts 1:58min wich is really short for a Free mission, next time more goals should be added:)
