Although im not much into recon missions, I think this battle is pretty cool... It is VERY hard on Hard difficulty, and u have to have some tactical plan to be able to complete the objectives and not get killed by a bunch of missiles along the way. Great job!

Great implementation of Tie Bomber craft. Mission is well written and gives u a sense of inmersion. I was rapidly reminded of the utter frailty of unshielded craft. Very challenging on Hard difficulty.

This is an OK battle... I guess... Maybe I just got up on the wrong side of the bed the day I played it... but it barely got a smile out of me... easy missions, even on hard difficulty, in fact, a tad too easy if u ask me, not open ended enough, but good work nonetheless Frodo...

Pretty cool battle, although I hate time limited missions when there are still enemies out there to fight. Some of the missions are just too easy on hard...

I am all for difficult battles and missions, but this one goes a little too far, especially considering that, because you are given a nice ship to fight in, the enemy is not so difficult to destroy, the difficult part of the battle tends to be the MESSY Capital Ship AI... in mission two, the cruiser rams the star destroyer, which is not a nice tactical move on behalf of either to let this happen. Its very engaging, and my review score would have been higher it if wasnt because of the fact that this can screw up a whole mission only because the rebel's feel a little suicidal.

This is an OK battle. Although it is extremely simple, it IS tough to get high scores, since you have to command imperial ships to leave so you can get more kills. Simple and straightforward, but could be more interesting...

This batlle is way too easy. And though the first time you play some of the missions you can get in trouble for attacking certain ships, its easyly avoided if you refrain from firing on the rebel capital ships. The objectives are too simple, and it doesnt offer any depth at all. It could be reworked to be quite good.

Very cool battle, well made. It has a cool story line, simple but engaging... although flying TIE Advanceds without shields escapes my line of thought, the chance to pilot the awesome TIE Defender is great. Thumbs up!

Very good oldfashioned battle in my opinion. Frodo does it again...

This battle is, to great extent, the worst battle I've played yet. Although the Dairy thing is almost funny, it rapidly becomes plain stupid. Also, mission 3 has a LONG waiting period for the Star destroyer to Dock, which is also not part of the objectives, so you can just send the darn SD home when the mission starts. And then again, sometimes its impossible to complete because the X-Wings and T-Wings never appear. The last mission is kind of fun when played on hard, since those kamikaze tugs can be a pain in the butt, this is the only interesting thing in the battle, and its the main reason for my 2 score, otherwise it would be 1.

If you want to make an EASY mission, definitely include the possibility to fly with a Decoy Beam, this mission has no bugs, and it could be hard if you dont understand the mission's dynamics... but once you figure it out, it is one of the easiest missions you can fly... its no bad, but its too easy...

This is ONE COOL Battle... although you fly in old Ties and Gunboats are considered "state of the art", it is a journey to a better time, when the Empire was in power and the coolest thing was to look 80ish...

Talk about a TOUGH mission. I have never had to think so much to complete a mission on HARD, even on Medium its difficult. Coordinating all the actions of your wingmen and understanding the dynamics of how the mission works is key to succeed. Top Mission for competitions I have played.

Talk about a great battle... Its challenging, and the missions mix dogfighting, escort and deep strikes... Two thumbs up!

Good mission for competitions, VERY HARD not to get killed if played on Hard Difficulty. You need to get those bombers and ATRs very soon or your cap ship will be teared to shreds.

If you have 7 minutes of free time, you can complete this one on hard. I think it needs to be made more challenging. Although the scores Bruckmack got on this one are almost impossible to beat.

Now this is an interesting battle: The Plot is very well written and is funny, it involves you in the chase of a pirate Colonel by the name of Unibrow (indicative that Frodo has watched Austin Powers). The missions are challenging, especially in HARD Difficulty, cause your home ship tends to be blown to bits if you dont pay attention. Congratulations on this one Frodo!

good battle, tough on Hard. No bugs, missions tend to leave you waiting for a bit, but not too long... once again the Shire sees itself in dire straits, but its pilots are there to help it out of trouble.

The battle was ok, with no bugs, but its not the best out there. I hate it when missions dont have an open ended feel to them, that is, when the highest possible score you can get is X, and no more ships appear after that, and no bonus goals are available... it makes the replayability 0 and does not encourage others to try to beat the high score.

Good Battle, despite for the fact that on mission 4 the SD never appears on hard!, also, on mission 2, the platform only launches two flight groups of fighters, so the goals say you have not killed all of them, however, if you kill the platform, then it says you killed ALL the fighters... I think this is a bug and it should be looked into.

Good Battle. Although I really like it when they let you choose warheads, since it allows for more tactical planning, something that does not happen on this one. Mission 2 is very tough on Hard. Good battle, although there are better out there, plus the X-Wing is not a ship I'm fond of.

Now, once again, FRODO delights us with his ability to create interesting situations in XvT. The Pac-Mac thingie is just wonderfull. However, some of the missions could use a more open ended scheme, meaning that after the mission was done, perhaps he could have put a few rebels to entertain us longer. Good Battle for the purposes of knowing the possibilities the platform offers.

I didnt like this battle very much. First of all, I find it VERY ANOYING that you cannot send many of the craft involved in the fighting away. This would enable the pilot to actually get a little more challenge from the missions, which are, I'm sorry to say, too easy. Also, the waiting time in mission 4 for the interdictor to dock with the station is simply too long.

This is a "nice" battle. I say "nice" because it is really not that great. Most of all, the problem lies with the platforms, which have an overwhelming desire to die, and never fire back at the player. Other than that, the missions are weel structured into the story and the story itself is kind of funny... Frodo deserves to be on this one, for making so many good battles.

Cool Mission. Kind of tough once the Rebel fleet arrives. Targeting the FRG & PLT is hard work. Those A/W's really have a boner for the player craft... I enjoyed it, there are no bugs.
