A bit unbalanced and the enemy starfighter orders are a bit wonky, but an OK mission

An incredibly buggy mission that does not work properly for numerous reasons. Flying this in any craft other than the T/A is impossible as your forces are heavily outnumbered, you only get 2 craft and 3 waves in any role while the enemy gets 3 craft and 4 waves, outnumbers you 3:1 and quickly shreds all of your shield-less craft due to an incredible disparity in AI skill (Jedi X-Wings vs Veteran Tie Fighters, a 3 level difference) , leaving you to solo the mission beyond 5 minutes. If you do not constantly use the beam system you aren't beating this one, and you have to kill a cruiser by yourself on lasers only.

Enjoyable battle in any of the shielded craft. Tried it in the TIE/LN and really struggled due to the missile spam.

Pretty good mission where you have to be on a Strike Team fighting against a bunch of capital ships while fighters are coming after you. It can be a little challenging since you have torpedoes only, and you'll have to dodge missiles consistently to deal with the threat.

Just an ordinary mission. There are some positives, like forcing the gunboats to use regular torpedoes instead of overpowering everything with advanced torps or rockets. Several roles to choose from, not half bad.

Poor mission. If it is taken from the Interceptors perspective, it's yet another tedious kill'em all assignment, and if taken from the GUNs approach, they have underperforming ordnances to bring down the CRS and the CRV. Skip this mission and your world will not notice it.

No Mission Complete message.
Flight Group Beta has no orders.
*Flight Group Independance has ArrDep trigger errors.
*Flight Group Independance has Skip to Order trigger errors.
*Flight Group Fury has ArrDep trigger errors.
Assault Gunboat group Cobra has been assigned to the heavy attack role but it's orders are to attack Rebels instead of capital ships specifically. R&D Facility Beta has no orders. Laser Battery group X have starfighter orders. A-Wing group Red has Torpedoes but prioritizes attacking starfighters instead of capital ships. Independence spelled incorrectly. CRS Independance never withdraws. Bonus goals of CRS Independance and Corvette Fury are impossible to complete as neither ship ever withdraws.

1. Mon Cal doesnt seem to want to withdraw, even after all fighters are destroyed/if it takes a lot of damage.

Neither Rebel capital ship makes any attempt to flee when badly damaged, as the objectives imply they should.
