Ok, i got to mission 4, the one next to... jupiter?
And first off, the pirate fighters are very unbalanced. They all have the speed and manueverability of a perseus, and about the shield strength of a fenrises hull. They're uglies, they're supposed to break down all the time. They're supposed to equal less than the sum of their parts, and, above all, they're supposed to have super weak hulls to the the way they're constructed. Just saying.
Mission 1:
this one seemed ok, aside from the feeling of having to scramble over to the freighters to scan them before they warp out. (they don't, but it feels like they will if you don't hurry!)
Mission 2:
Ok, i COULD NOT beat this mission. Even on very easy, all my wingmen except speedy (and by the way, the campaign doesn't seem as character involved as the last. That was one of my favorite parts) died as soon as our force met the pirate escort fighters. And i had no TAG missles, just rockeyes and tempests (only 40 tempests in my bottom bank?
the mymidon could carry like 160...) so i failed every time. after several frustrating minutes, i managed to get away from the fighters. Then got klled by the Leviathan as i tried to follow orders.
Next couple of times i tried, a few hercs survived, and killed the leviathan before it could be disarmed, so again, i failed, regardless of not tagging the freighters. And also, the kill all fighters bonus objective says 'mission objective text', or whatever it is if you don't edit it.
Mission 3:
Again, super overpowered enemy craft (the kulas seemed to have unlimited afterburner, and again, are impossible to hit) and i had to use ALL my missles to take out the tower. Then, i couldn't get a break long enough to rearm. And could there be a little longer of a delay, and another 'stand clear' message, before the blade fires it's beam at the door? i almost got fried there! I had some more complaints, can't remeber, except the wing of friendly bombers would not stop trying to eliminate all the asteroid bases turrets, and came very close to destroying it. down to 3% hp before the mission ended.
Mission 4:
All i did was park next to the nav bouy and turn on time compression. The mission plays itself until the kulas come. Are you supposed to stop everything? Because they came after me, i destroyed them, then time compressed another 15minutes, nothing happened, i left, and there was no debriefing. uhm....
