Reviews for XvT-CD 1

| | "And as businessmen, we're not exactly equipped for this type of combat." No kidding! A nine mission battle flying a stormtrooper transport (not an assault transport). This mission is sick, enjoyable, humorous, boring, fun and irritating. The biggest flaws are the very long waits, combined with long distances and time limits, and some things like telling us we'll have fighter support and it only shows up five minutes later, and the last mission where Core Squadron doesn't show up on hard. Making all objectives "CDNG must complete mission" is also pretty vague and lame. However, this battle will push your skill to the limit, because you can't run away in a transport (beware of frigates) and you're very easy to hit. Seriously, wasn't a promotion to Core Squadron in order by the time of the last mission, to reward the player's patience?

| | I give it a 2 for being one of the most annoying battles I've ever flown. To be honest, waiting 20 minutes for transports to cross space is just annoying. It did have a story, so I'll give that, but I'm never flying a Stormtrooper Transport again.

| | Realistic, having little to fight with (TRN) makes u dedicate even more to improve performance. Well done, briefings, storyline, technical details, gameplay...bingo! Ender :P

| | I'm giving this a three. 1 point for idea and originality, 1 point for making it almost bugless...And one last point for realism. However, realistic is rarely very amusing, especially since the realism we're talking about involves a universe which doesn't likely exist itself. The creator manages to build a battle that seems to be endless, yet is so filled with effort. The asteroid field in mission 1 for instance, is a masterpiece...Many aspects like this pump up battles and make them awesome, however, in this case, the gameplay tends to be boring and repetitive...Why can't the rebels that have to be destroyed so often be there while your ships are hypering out? I realise that long waits are usually what you'd expect in an escort mission, but it isn't what I'd call fun. If you pay attention to detail, you will adore this battle. If you're looking for a fun battle to fly, I wouldn't recommend this. If you want FCHG points, I hope you have 3 hours to spare...If you want high scores, you'll hate it for the Time Limits. Basically, I admire this battle for its accurate design and originality, but dislike the rest. Still, a welcome addition to the mission compendium, and hopefully the first of many XvT-CD battles!
