Description
Destroy the HOL ship. (now with goals)
Storyline: 
To be blunt: Kill an HOL ship. The mission's creator apparently couldn't be bothered to make sure that the grammar in the briefing was even legible, and the name of the Typhon to be destroyed is pathetic.
Balance: 
There are enough missles to equip - barely - a wing of Hercules and another of Apollos, although the Hercs will have to get along with only dual Pheonix Vs and no Interceptors. But not effort is required to win; the mission will beat itself. Read on for more details...
Design: 
Essentially, the player's wingmen carve the enemy to pieces, regardless of the fact that the player is started out in collision with his wingmen. As a test, I simply started the mission and took my hand off the joystick. In the default Athena, I was killed by the explosion of the Aten cruiser, but in a Hercules, I succeeded without lifting a hand - except, of course, to warp out.
Gameplay: 
Do I really need to elaborate? There is no gameplay. The player really can't influence the mission's outcome at all.
Other Thoughts:
Did I mention that the Reccommendations in the case of victory are "f**k u a** hole"? (*s added by me. I think you know what they replace...)
<BR>Also, what's with the filename? The only reason I can see to chop it down so is to fit it into the 8.3 DOS file format, but that's behind us... and why is there a 1? Don't tell me there's gonna be more... and no, this isn't impacting the score of the mission. It's bad enough anyway, and this is getting too long.
