Battle Reviews

Excellent mission. Simple technical layout, well structured and perhaps nothing else in this proposed mission, but...
This one proves that the Space Cadillac, -the almighty, the unapproachable, TIE Defender-, can become a matchless one-craft-full-fleet on its own. A lot of dogfighting all along. Initially with weak pirates, then with something more serious. Nothing impossible, but this mission will certainly leave you with a sweaty palm and a warm joystick. Dogfighting your way through a dozen of simultaneous A-Ws with missiles, sinking 3 capital ships, armed with missile defenses and coming out unharmed, just in time for some cocktails in the cantina, is something that only this masterpiece of a weapon can do. The Space Cadillac. Say no more.
Fly this mission for some real fun challenge and smoke a cigar afterwards while reflecting of the path of destruction you left behind.


One A-Wing group never arrives due to a copy paste error. The mission itself is quite fun to fly. If you fly it without any tricks it's quite fast paced albeit abit too easy. Proof the T/D is just too strong! Having so many A-wings gunning for you and yet always feeling 200% safe. You can even kill them by bumping into them instead of shooting them down! One FG have adv conc missiles but T/D's shields are simply too strong. And I won't even get to the abuse of Ion Cannons. It's a flaw to the game itself, one which Mission Designers unfortunately have to be aware of. For a free Mission, this is a good one. I recommend flying it for enjoyment. If later you decide to have a crack at the high score, by all means. But flying for high scores sometimes takes the fun out of otherwise good missions. Bonus for those who read this far, to kill the Escort Carrier ensure the transports remain disabled (i.e. don't kill them until you have dispatched with the Escort Carrier!)


This was a good fun mission and the bonus goals provided a good challenge! Plus its an Inferno mission!


Fun little mission, and lots of bonus objectives.


Great Little Mission for any skill level.


Nice little mission I'd have to agree with that the other reviewer said about being able to fly it a few different ways.


This is an excellent little mission, you can complete the primaries in a few minutes, but to complete all the secret mission goals took me a lot longer than that! It's a good mission for comps, as you can fly it in different ways. LCM Infamus
