I'm not part of the team so my opinion doesn't count, but 158th looks like 1S9th.

Blasting things is only satisfying for so long, the whole attack seems pointless, or rather emotionless. I don't know who these guys are, and I have little motivation to destroy them.

I'll plus one that statement. I'll add to it that I have an intense dislike for nebula missions, especially when there's a large friendly object in the area that I have to protect with a geometry I do not know.
The lack of custom assets, like custom interface art or custom music, is something that surprised me when I played this.
Mission 2: Spoiler:"We're flying in a hurricane". No, you're definitely not. It doesn't feel like a hurricane at all.

I'm downloading it now, I cannot wait to check it out.

I note that the "unreleased" projects group is getting smaller. Which can only be a good thing.

Just had to end mission 3, I've got no idea who I'm fighting or why I'm fighting them. In the first mission I was shooting endless waves of Communists with no explanation or dialogue. None of the friendly fighters lose any health though. In the second I was doing the same after 3 or 4 minutes of waypoint traversing, with the only dialogue along the lines of 'Where are the damn carriers?', which I was already thinking.
In the third mission there was a small dogfight, followed by a conversation and then silence for some time. Suddenly a cruiser starts losing health at a high rate, and I see some blips on my radar. I fly towards them with my wing mates and most of them get wasted by enemy fighters, I get to the Leningrad, and see it spinning away like crazy. It's docked with something called 'Captain's Rig' which I have no chance of seeing because I can't even approach the Leningrad without being smashed by it. Once it gets to 15% Hull (by this point I'm cheating) I can't damage it any more. I kill the Stalingrad, then the Leningrad, and Command tells me it is jumping out because it has enemies to kill. I try to jump out, but can't, and see a flashing red blip on my radar. I fly towards, and discover it's a stealth fighter. I start shooting it, but it is invulnerable.
At that point I pressed shift-esc. Sorry if my review seems a bit brutal but I found this practically unplayable.
