Well cant say it was fun waiting nearly 5 mins only to have the ATR slam into the PLT after docking.
Glad it didnt do it the second time.
Slow start, but otherwise its ok. Biggest issue is besides the wait time, the EH craft just let the Rebels go.

Lots of quiet time at the beginning of the mission that makes any restarts annoying. Nothing technically wrong with the mission, and it involves needing to intercept bombers to protect your capital ship.

Played on easy. I would say it has an above average plot for XvT (a low bar) and, at least on easy, never felt overwhelmed. Only thing holding it back is a slow start.

I'm guessing the below reviews played a different mission. You must wait nearly 5 minutes at the start, then a large Rebel force, too large for the resources you have, comes in.
It's not very well made at all.

Some of the craft behaviour doesn't sit well with me. Once you destroy all the Rebel forces except the Calamari, everyone from the Emperor's Hammer is packing and heading home. Comeon, surely we want to destroy that juicy Calamari?

Nice mission, engaging, simple and fun to play. Oversee a capture operation and then protect your people against an incoming fleet of CRS and complement of bombers and fighters. Basic stuff, but very well crafted and worth a try for some good ole' school fun.

This one is pretty hard, in terms of protecting a target. Maybe some luck is involved? I must give it a lower rating for the long wait at the start, but it's good overall.

I did this on hard and completed it on my first try. Keeping that FRG was hard at the end though. Had 12 hull left when I saved it.

Very good mission. Worthy of 5 if not immpossibility of completion it on hard. At least for me :P FRG was too close to CRS...

VSD dark one does not leave until second wave of player craft is triggered. message incorrectly displays about it leaving after the interdictor is destroyed. Tie interceptor group flayer should attack the cruiser after finishing the interdictor.
