Summary: Simplistic Sqdn on Sqdn combat, in and out within five minutes with nothing to report.

Simple mission, but fun as well. Made me laugh when one of the enemy flight groups was called 'lackluster' :) Enjoyable comedy moment that was during a standard dogfight!

A nice leisurely dogfight (on easy). If you're careful you can prevent couple waves from coming in by choosing your ordinance wisely and taking out the right craft. And hey you're blowing up pirates instead of rebels, always nice to go back to some of what makes the Empire feel like we're doing some (extra) good for the galaxy. I also liked the beam choice, I hadn't used the energy transfer before. Worth it for trying that if nothing else.

Straight dogfight with a few waves of starfighters. There are also two Corvettes that don't really pose a threat with the torpedoes by your side. All in all, it is nice to have a dogfighting only type of mission every once in a while. Nothing special about this one, but still a decent mission to practice your dogfighting skills.

Goofy, yet enjoyable. A flaw which I always find amusing is the corvettes having fighter orders. It makes them better so in a way I like it, but it is frowned upon. It does make them a bigger threat especially if instead of zig you zag and crash into them.

Basic and somehow dull mission. It's quick and simple, but it is the old classic defend your ship against underperforming pirate ships, and the worst thing in the mission is a CRV with fighter orders, I can only imagine those aboard the corvette, running out of paper-bags. Fly elsewhere

Fairly mediocre and short mission. Like the previous comment states it's a 'classic' defend the ISD. Not that it makes any story sense for a bunch of pirates with two corvettes and a few of scrap fighters to attack an ISD head on anyway. The bug reported still exists, although I wonder if it was done on purpose in this mission to increase difficulty. There's always a chance you will simply crash onto a wildly wriggling corvette. But hey, it's XvT so in the worst case you will end up in the cockpit of another fighter. Quick FCHG point plus I think the mission has quite a bit HS potential there. I haven't tried to send the wingmen home at the very beginning but maybe someone feels like trying this one out solo. It's an okay one to fly.

Just your average save the ISD mission. Not too challenging.

Being a Copperhead, it may be favoratism, but it was a great dogfight. But who can make the next Copperhead mission: Ambush. As for a medal, How about The Snake's Scale, or The Viper's Fang.
