Description
Take down a Vasudan supply convoy before it reaches the Epsilon Iridani jump point :)
Storyline: 
WhatÂ’s a storyline? ThereÂ’s certainly not one in this mission. There is absolutely no explanation of why youÂ’re attacking a Vasudan supply convoy and there are no messages during the course of the mission. Icon placement in the briefing is poor, and there are several grammatical errors in the debriefing, as well as questionable language used. As Volition has said about their mission contest, there should be no profane references in a mission.
Balance: 
IÂ’ll be very surprised if you lose a single ship here. The Vasudan fighters are without shields and only anti-fighter beams are used, mostly against the Terran corvette. Weapon loadout is poor, with the multiplayer equivalents still included (why do so many people get this wrong?). The Vasudans are also vastly outnumbered.
Design: 
Design in this mission is pretty poor overall. The directives work, beams work, and capital ships have their waypoint speed limited, which is good. What is bad is that they are the only s-exps in the entire mission. The Vasudan fighters are also not even in wings. On a plus not, design is probably the best point of the mission. Wait, thatÂ’s no plusÂ
Gameplay: 
If you enjoy shooting at corvettes and doing little noticeable damage while not being challenged at all, go ahead and download this. However, there are many more missions like this and most are better.
Other Thoughts:
Bah, now IÂ’m all riled up that there are so many poor missions.
