Battle Reviews

Too much lasering of asteroids but otherwise fine.


Enjoyable little romp where you attack a Pirate stronghold with associated 'oddball' snubbies instead of the usual Rebel selection.

Word of Advice: Load up on heavy rockets, and target the first installation to wipe it out of the game early if you're struggling. Failing that, use each 'respawns' worth of rockets to take out 1 of the defence networks.


This one required a little more concentration than normal, on easy at least. This isn't bad at all, except the challenge comes from the asteroid lasers firing at you, sort of a cheap shot if you ask me. But you do get a second flight, so if and when your first is wiped out, use your ordinance and squadmates wisely and you should be able to take down the R&D facilities with little difficulty.


Horrible. It could have been improved by having some form of stakes and urgency to destroy the facility. Also, what is the Millenium Falcon doing there? A very boring mission.


A simple assault mission on a T/A, that could have been so much better with better mission planning. T/As are perfect for escorting GUNs, but lack enough ordnance capabilities to bring down 3 R&D asteroids. Be ready to shoot a lot of lasers from blind spots around the asteroids.


The battle premise is pretty basic: Find Hidden pirate base and destroy. The mission while light on victory requirements, is still very fun to fly. There is no shortage of targets or dangers. No bugs found.

Plotline:
Our patrol caught a narcotics smuggler. In exchange his life, he told us where the Smugglers Mainstay was located.  We will send in the ISD Grey Wolf and VSD Cobra to destroy the base. It looks like the location is Outer Rim in an asteroid belt. The Mainstay is protected by Asteroid Laser Batteries. 

To play a mission, all you must to do is to copy all files to your XvT directory in folder /Train.
