| | This mission is for competitions, to put it bluntly. You fly against a never-ending series of NR ships, working your way up from Z-95s. The plot and briefing are actually pretty good and make it fairly memorable, but I did find it to be a very frustrating mission. Why? Well, even on hard the enemy can't hit the broad side of a barn. You're actually in very little danger of getting shot down. Unfortunately, the enemy AI is pretty bad at flying, too, and tends to fly right into your unshielded TIE while you're dogfighting. This would be less annoying if you weren't captured and your pilotfile wiped if you did. The only way to complete the mission, at least for me, is to play for X minutes and then quit. I did several 20+ minute runs but kept dying to debris or ramming, so the pilot I submitted for the comp was only a 5 minute run because I was too frustrated to waste my time trying for better.
It's a great concept, but it needs tweaking or perhaps porting to XvT. |
