BoP-F 8: Battlecry #2
Battle Information
Battle Reviews
So, this is not a great mission, but it also suffers from a rare problem it shouldn't be blamed for: a bad correction. Specifically, this one:
---
-Enemy ship invincibility removed

I don't know why that was done, but it's broken the mission. You shouldn't be able to destroy the M/CRV or the ATR, but someone "fixed" it so that you can. Which means that now you're able to fight off the attack successful, but that will soft lock and fail the mission.
The correction should be reversed, which will still give you a mission with an unwinnable scenario that ultimately can be completed without doing much of anything (at least below Hard), but at least it won't be dramatically broken.
Terrible mission. Confusing, illogical, a total mess. Enemy M/CRVs are supposed to disable the ISD so a SHU comes in to capture it. But sometimes they die on the job. No indications, neither before, through or after the ordeal. Plain wrong. It's a mystery how did this go through to the Compendium. Avoid it.
Mission: Balance of Power Free - 8 |
Reporting: LCM Mirei Seppen |
Vessel: - TIE/Adv |
Personal Tally: - Y-Wing x1, A-Wing x2, B-Wing x3 |
Debriefing: - We are to retrieve an Admiral from the Training Officer? Hey man I just work here, don't ask me. |
OOC: This is the worst mission I have ever played in my life. First I made it unwinnable twice do to the missions said to stop the ship from being disabled. But no we are to let it be disabled, let it be boarded, sit on our thumbs, then fight a ton of waves. Communication?
This is a shining example of how NOT to make missions. First you have to allow the enemy to disable the star destroyer. Then you have to allow the enemy boarding craft to dock and capture the TO. All this could easily have been prevented by a decent pilot, but will make the mission unwinnable. The best way to win this thing is to just fly away and spend the next 15 minutes doing something entertaining. this mission certainly is not.
Not a bad mission once i figured out to let the M/CORV disable the ISD;p.
The mission is completable despite some think it's not.

The following update should be reverted:
---
-Enemy ship invincibility removed

This allows the player to either stop the M/CRV or the ATR, which will soft lock the mission. Neither was supposed to be possible by the original mission creator. Radio messages indicate as such ("we can't get past their shields!")

There our errors on the briefing, plus it doesn't give you a hint on the weird gimmick to get the mission won.

SHU Carmen sometimes collides with ISD Anayami during re-entering the hangar. Pirate ATR tries to return to its mothership but cannot do so because the pirate M/CRVs enter hyperspace too quickly.
