Description
A grueling and difficult dogfight. Yes, this was hard. Those elusive Shivans, and their fast fighters. grr. This is the other of the 2 missions that were first posted, so there is no Brief or De-Brief, and weapons select is null.

Storyline: 0.5 Stars
Just the objective to "Destroy all Shivan ships in the area." Don't expect anything, the mission isn't even titled...

Balance: 0.5 Stars
No weapon selection at all. Not intentionally done, but an oversight.

Design: 0.5 Stars
Minimal. Take eight ships tossed into FRED, bake ten minutes. Remove, let cool... <p> When you start up, you'll receive a warning alert as the Shivans lock on your ship and start firing missiles. I hate it when that happens.

Gameplay: 0.5 Stars
Five waves of five Dragons against three lonely Terrans. Grueling because the game ends if you jump out, which any smart pilot would against these odds.

Other Thoughts:
I spent more time writing this review that it would take to create this mission.

Bottom Line: Haste makes waste. Dispose of properly.
Highs: It doesn't crash.
Lows: Little, if any, design went into this mission.
