I must have accidently played a different battle than the one that my esteemed collegues have been praising. If it hadn't been for the exaggerated difficulty levels that were either too hard or too easy, and the mentally handicapped computer players who would never complete their mission objectives, it might actually be a very good battle. I honestly don't know what the problem was. On mission 2, you are supposed to fight off oposition while two assault transports disable a cruiser. I fought off all the starfighters, destroyed the dreadnaught that was escorting the target, and waited for the ATs to do their job (a mission objective I might add) They disabled it just fine; however, instead of bording, they decided to fly around the cruiser for the rest of their bloody lives. Something like this happened on the third mission too but I can't remember the specifics. Maybe there is just something seriously wrong with my game copy; except, you would think that there would be problems on other battles too... there aren't. Anyway, sorry about the rant.
All I can say is wow! That is the best battle I've ever seen. I understand that this is the only mission designed by CPT ATX, but I encourage him, for the sake of the fleet... make nore!
I don't know why everyone insulted this battle so much. I think it's the only battle I've ever seen come so close to the original Star Wars movies. Sure, it has a few flaws... Ok, a lot of flaws. But if those were all hammered out I think this would be one of my favorites so far. I loved how you fought the starfighters while weaving in and out of the capital ships. It reminded me of the Battle Of Endor in Return of the Jedi. This battle does things that I've never seen any other battle do.
Good, challenging battle. Lots of fighters to shoot down. The missions could have been a little more even as far as difficulty. It seemed like the first 3/4 missions were much easier then the last two.
