So...the story is excellent, and I personally don't have an issue with Praetorian Squadron being used for spying in their non-standard craft.

Now...first, m3, the fire power given to the player is very little compared to the HP of the craft you have to destroy and the wingmen won't attack the caps either so the only way I could find to kill the M/SC in time was to focus on it 100% of the time and therefore missed out on the fun of the dogfighting. Second, m3 has you have to destroy 4 caps...but they are still alive in m4. Then in m5 the player FG doesn't have any orders so all your wingmen just hyper away the instant the mission starts which really reduces the firepower you have available. So 5 from the story, minus 1 for each issue...which is a shame as I really enjoyed the story and m1 and m2.

This one bad, alright. The plotline was appealing and not badly carried out. Actually I liked the ideas behind every mission. The fact it referred to the ID and Praetorian elite squadron though, made me spill my coffee. Author could have picked any other squadron or even another unit, a totally new one, from the IntelDiv. But Prae flying B-Wings? Unshielded TIE Fighter? What the heck was wrong the day this battle was conceived?. Be prepared to fly unshielded T/Fs in a variety of stupid and impossible to complete roles. B-Wings dogfighting T/As? This was the worst. People, skip this one. There are golden nuggets out there. This is just a spoiled good idea, turned into rotting charcoal.

1 point for a decent story idea, -10 points for realization. Destroying friendlies, dual goals, destroying ships that are back next mission, Praetorian flying B-wings ??? This needs a lot of work!

No doubt, this is the worst battle ever made. Here are a few features: your flight group confirms orders, but rarely follows them, and rarely attacks anything; the fighters you use are always inappropriate; the names of the enemy flight groups are lame, like "Destroy"; the places where you enter the battle suck (too far away or close to a frigate); and in the last mission, your flight group goes home as soon as it shows up. You'll often find yourself fighting three superior fighters all alone (like your unshielded Tie Fighter against three shielded Tie Interceptors). Try flying this on hard... if you miss space bombs!

Baaaaad.

Something went very wrong here.

Well due to the fact this one features Prae I liked the battle, I just didn't like the fighters we got stuck using in the battle (where's our T/P's?);p.
