Summary: Defend the platform against Y-Wings that arrive in range to deliver their payload while trying to avoid being spam-concussion missiled by Rogue Squadron, who've just emerged from another cloning vat. Had the makings of a good mission, but not balanced for single player on medium or higher.

Fun little skirmish. On easy, you're given a fair choice of craft, but choose wisely as you will be going up against a cap ship and its squadrons of YXA-Wings. If you chip away at the calamari enough some bombers will come and help finish it off so I recommend doing that before things get too hot. Again, not a terrible battle, but pretty boring. Recommended for points, though.

In fairly long dogfight missions like this one, I always look at the sheer number of starfighters I've destroyed. And those can't be cheap right? Like how long does it take to produce them compared to how quickly we wipe them out? I mean, who is paying for all this? The rebels are going to have to raise taxes in whatever areas they control because I'm a lean mean Rebel killing machine. Or maybe I'm just too old and thinking about things like that. Either way, just another dogfighting mission.

The events within the mission feel amiss. Also having some final A-Wings just hyperspacing into a slaughter and without any in-flight message of recognition of it was the icing on the cake. Doesn't deserve a 3.

Not very entertaining, this one. It is yet another save-the-platform kind of mission. It is fairly quick and straightforward, but after a few minutes, it goes very repetitive and disheartening. Fly something else.
