I must say that this mission is way overrated. The mission was far too easy, incredibly short, had no, none, zero, zilch, not a single bit of plot whatsoever, and probably took about 15-20 minutes to make. If you want some "training", I suggest you fly a few melees with the AI instead, rather than making a quick pointless mission to grab an easy MoT. >:P

Okay, I'll start with the one good thing. I enjoyed the storyline. If this battle was a fiction only, it would be very enjoyable. Unfortunately, flaws in the battle kill it. 1. The T/A is NOT a super fighter! You can't throw the pilot in a T/A against dozens of shielded enemy fighters and expect him to survive! This is especially apparent in the last mission, where you fly an X/W against many more fighters. 2. Well, the big bugs are being fixed, but still...they should have been picked up in play testing BEFORE submitting to the TAC office (was there play testing at all??) 3. Don't have the enemy the same color as friendlies (red, missions 4+5). It makes it impossible to tell the difference on radar, and that just annoys the pilot. In conclusion, not a good battle, and thats a shame because it could have been great, considering the storyline.

I didn't have fighters attacking the hyper bouy, but the cruiser did fire on its own fighters. The complete lack of a briefing or debriefing really takes away from the mission, too. If you are looking for a good, long dogfight, this mission is for you!

Good challenge and that makes it fun to play. Mission 3 is a little screwy(most of the capships dont shoot) and Mission 4 has invincible enemys, which I didnt really like. Good storyline and I like that Imperial attitude shown in the last mission. Its nice being a bully every now and then. I do have one question, though. Looking through the TC roster, I see no mention of the ISD Tallus or the ISD Dark Reign. If this is a TC battle, use active TC ships!!

Wow, I'm quite impressed with this battle. A few spelling errors here and there, but other than that, no bugs or problems. Good difficulty on all missions, and its about time we encounter some friendly Imperialist factions in the galaxy! Nice job!

A few bugs, but the main problem is the stupid Toscan fighter! The T/Ds at the end almost make up for it, but missions 2 and 3.... Any craft where you have to manually change your laser convergence distance has got to be some POS that is embarrassing to fly.

Besides the fact that all the gunners on all friendly capital ships are dead or asleep, and besides the old worn out Warlord Darrius storyline, and besides the overwhelming odds against you in every battle, and besides the author's attempt at fairness by slapping some shields on your TI, a good battle.

Excellent story and missions. By far the most fun XWA battle to play. The small technical errors really didn't affect the gameplay much. Having the conversations as debriefings was brilliant, and worked perfectly.

The last mission was an absolute breeze, I barely participated before everything was dead. Other than that, very enjoyable, mostly due to its difficulty through the other mission which kept me on my toes. I noticed that(at least the first three missions) the missions were all just a slight variation on the last. A time-saving idea, but when noticed it does reduce the quality of the battle.

I'm not usually a big fan of XvT battles, but I loved this one. The missions are great, the story is smooth, and the Emperor's voice is just plain awesome. Excellent work on this one, Shups!

Great challenge on "Hard" difficulty. Wingmen are a little inadequate for the amount of enemy fighters, and taking out the TWO CRS's at the end before they wasted the Intrepid was not so good. The challenge made it great though, hence the rating.

Flying this battle, I discovered why I didn't join the IW. I hate all rebel craft with a passion, they are horrible! (Sorry all you IWers) Anyway, my only other problem is with the 4th mission, where you have to do all that inspecting. Took forever and was very boring. The Imp missions were good though.

I enjoyed this battle. Waiting wasn't bad, the first mission was the only one where it was kinda slow getting started, and it wasnt even that bad. Good plotline, but it never really ended, which I didn't like. That 4th mission was the toughest, those TIE experimentals are pretty formidable when there are lots of them. All in all, good battle.

Fun mission, lots of fighters. Its a little on the easy side, however. The only problem I had with it is that the backdrops dont do much, and the mission is VERY dark. It is hard to see much of anything. Still, great mission.

You jump in and the frigate you are defending is already at about 75% hull with yet more warheads going towards it. You dust the first group of Ywings, then more appear at the same time you are engaging 6 missile armed Awings. You may be in a T/D, but this mission is ridiculous.
