Description
Battle it out in an electrical nebulae against Shivan fighters and corvettes. Mainly designed for single player, but may work in multiplayer. My first release!

Storyline: 0.5 Stars
That's right folks - a whopping 0.5 for storyline. There is no briefing, no debriefing, a handful of in-flight messages, and the mission is even called "Untitled" on the Mission Sim screen.

Balance: 1.0 Stars
Very bad. Your wingmen will die off very quickly since the Lilith fires all of its beam weapons at the fighters. And then, just when you think that you've beat the Lilith, <i>another</i> Shivan strike force comes in! And I've got only my Erinyes and a wimpy Deimos to take down two Moloch corvettes and a slew of fighter? Nuh-uh, it ain't gonna' happen.

Design: 1.0 Stars
When you see the second fleet come in, you're liable to just quit. Normally surprises are good, but not when you're on your own. There are no objectives or directives.

Gameplay: 1.0 Stars
One player against the world? No...

Other Thoughts:
If the wingmen were made smarter and maybe if the beam cannons didn't target them, then we'd have an exciting mission here. As it stands right now, it is an exercise in monotony. The designer is encouraged to go back and rectify these problems because there is potential.

Bottom Line: A very tough (maybe impossible?) nebula mission which just seems half-done.
Highs: The nebula looks nice and given the number of fighters on both sides, this could be an interesting mission...
Lows: ... but it is not. The player is quickly found all alone with nowhere to turn.
