Battle Reviews

Meh.
Lots of Z95s to kill across multiple missions. Lots of caps to kill.
Its ok. Briefings are incredibly simple.


This was a pretty good battle, no glaring bugs. Point lost for that one mission where you had to kill all the Z-95s even after disabling the PLT and VSDs. That should have been a secondary objective because it was really tedious and pointless.


I'm taking a point off for mission 3, which is awful and incredibly easy to fail through enemy friendly fire or craft escaping or waves not appearing. The rest of the battle is okay to spam. However, I am taking the point off for every time I have flown this battle and been frustrated by mission 3, which could well be every RtF from 2014-2020. It might actually be on a -2. Perhaps this long block of text has caught your eye. Perhaps you're weighing up whether or not to fly this battle. Let me decide for you: no.


Good:
Battle don't have any critical bugs.

Bad:
Too easy even on hard.
Enemy cap-ships are ramming each-other
Ordering cap-ships is a bad idea as it could make impossible to finish your mission
Briefings are just one screen


This battle is not too bad and features the T/D in most of the missions with the Mis being placed in the remaining ones. Being able to order *all* of your ships around (including the Cap ships)was a bit of a novelty, but mission 3 was *very* long and had a lot of Z-95s in it. The only real problem with the battle is the 'one question' briefing officer and scanty mission maps.


This battle had potential, but bogged down in a number of minor (but annoying) errors. I had to skip Mission 3 because two of the waves of Z-95s refused to appear. Also, the lack of decent maps and one-question officer briefings was annoying. Overall an easy battle, and one that's good for some FCHG points.

Mission 1:
From: Emperor's Hammer Fleet Command, Aurora System
To: Alpha 1, Battle Group II
	Alpha Leader, Imperial Intelligence reports that a New Republic scout ship has located an Old Republic Dreadnaught in the Savraar System.  This Dreadnaught is said to contain the location of a hidden Republic base.  Obviously, the base and its defense fleet cannot fall into Rebel hands.  You are to leave your current assignment immediately and take a shuttle to the VSD Terrorizer.  The Terrorizer is to intercept the scout ship as it heads back to its base of operations.  Your flight is to disable the scout ship and cover the assult transport as it extracts the information.

Mission 2:

From: Emperor's Hammer Fleet Command, Aurora System
To: Alpha 1, Deep Space
	Good work on that last mission, but your work isn't over.  You are to locate and identify the suspected Republic Dreadnaught Rapier.  After is it identified, the Grappler will shuttle a skeleton crew to the Dreadnaught, but watch out.  The Rebels may have found us and will do anything to stop us from getting the fleet and claiming it for themselves.  Good luck.

Mission 3:

From: Imperial High Command, Coruscant
To: Alpha 1, Imperial Dreadnaught Rapier
	The Terrorizer has been destroyed previously and therefore you will continue onboard the Rapier.  Thanks to your efforts, we have located the Old Republic Light Space Platform and its defense force.  You must capture the platform and every ship there so we may strike down the Rebellion!  When everything is disabled, call for reinforcements and the Grapplers will assist you in your capture effort.

Mission 4:

From: Class Four Space Platform Light
To: Alpha 1, Imperial Dreadnaught Rapier
	Excellent, Alpha 1.  We now have at our disposal a small fleet of four Victory Stat Destroyers.  While, the Earth, Fire, Water, and Air are undergoing repairs and refit, we have detected a Rebel attack force, coming to this very outpost.  Your orders are to defend this place with your life.  Your orders would normally be to kill the evil Rebel pilots, but this situation is not normal.  Ships from a Rebel fleet have been attacking us and we need to put a stop to this.  You must disable as many Rebel fighters as you can, at least one from each squadron, and wait for them to be captured when you call in for reinforcements.  Failure is not an option!

Mission 5:

From: Class Four Space Platform Light
To: Alpha 1, Imperial Dreadnaught Rapier
	Interrogation of the prisoners has revealed a small Rebel fleet, the very same one that has been continually harassing us.  Now it's time for the fun part.  We've modified a group of TIE Bombers with shields for you and your flight group to use as an instrument of destruction.  The Old Republic fleet that has been recently discovered will assist you in destroying the pitiful Rebels.  Destroy everything!  Leave no Rebel alive!

Mission 6:

From: Imperial Dreadnaught Rapier
To: Alpha 1, Deep Space
	Alpha 1, do not return to the Rapier!  Imperial Intelligence reports were wrong, the Old Republic fleet is not the four Victory Star Destroyers that we've captured, but a small fleet already captured by the Rebels before this whole operation had begun.  You are ordered to take your flight into the location of the fleet and destroy it before they use it to attack us!  We are arriving with help, but there might not be enough time.  Remember to serve the Empire to the death!
