Let's Play Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance Battle Three, Mission Six

Absolutely, unquestionably, the most difficult mission I've run up against in this game.




Here's the thing. (MISSION SPOILERS AHEAD) As the Liberty makes a beeline towards the enemy Interdictor, it comes directly into the line of fire of the Imperial Star Destroyer. That's a problem, and it's a problem that can only be solved by killing the Star Destroyer before the ISD kills your home carrier.

I really can't tell if this is a mission bug or poor design, or if it was intended to work like this. It's a solution that goes completely against all of the in-game guidance, which suggests, at least, that the mission wasn't intended to be like this. Because the solution was totally counterintuitive, it took me a lot longer to figure it out.
