Hi Shawn,
That is good to know.
For the lyran map, I usually unload on the claws as I pass my ships by, release
shuttles anduse them to finish up, and then I leave them.
Then I make a mad dash to the worm hole bottome right of the map.
I have a feeling my instructions for the map were not at all clear. I have been
planning on redoing the intros to include more information and what is
expected. I think I get more wrapped up in the story then in givieng
directions, lol.
I was wondering if that was the case as well with the planet killer.
Originally, I had planned the map to be a rescue mission, where the ships had
to rescue the people on the planet. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to
make sure the ships could escape with the people on board, or could just cheat
and go directly to the escape point. So I made it more of a stop the monster
situation.
The trick with that map is the shuttles. They are super important.
So do you think the instructions were clear? Should I tighten them up a bit? I
want players to not get killed cause I wasn't being careful enough with the
directions.

well allan the lirin are just quite hard.
I was able to destroy 2 of the 3 cruisers before I got owned.
if I could get the other 1 or 2 units and the klingons then hmmm.
the first training map with the rader ships I have never beaten but I
found in the intro that if I warped directly to the orian base and
pounded it with everything I had I could make it really hurt then
finally kill it.
Ofcause if I let the thing launch fighters till kingdom come and
waste time killing those I would seriously die.
I was never able to beat the planet killer mission.
