Battle Reviews

Failed the first mission over and over, even with re-directing energy as fast as possible, seems to be some sort of RNG involved in inspecting the shuttle. Took me 36 attempts to finally get it to work. Mission two and three are nearly the same, with two being slightly harder (substituting an attacking ISD for a minefield). Mission 4 is a disable the capital ship mission. Not bad but the issue with mission 1 brings it down quite a bit.


A fun battle but got to knock a point off for the annoyance in M1 of needing to know that you have to go 100% redirect to the engines the second the mission starts and book it for where the enemy shuttle WILL BE to get there in time.

Plotline:

GA Ronin is making his annual inspections of various ships in the Emperor's Hammer Fleet. His current
schedule leads him to the ISD Immortal, to inspect the ship as well as evaluate the performance of
it's new Commodore, RA Locke Stzer. However, things go terribly wrong when Ronin's ship is brought out
of hyperspace too far away, and soon the pilots of the Immortal find themselves in a operation that to
fail could potentially mean the death of their leader by the hands of the treacherous Renegade Dark
Brotherhood!
