Favorite Tie Fighter Mission

[MFL]

Simple conversation starter. Out of the impressive number of missions in Tie Fighter, and in honor of myself getting this bloody game working after six years, I put it to this community to tell of their favorite mission within the scope of these awesome campaigns. Hell, I'll even let you include a mission from X-Wing Alliance if you really want to. Tell it how it was, people, while I bask in the glow of ion engines once again.

One of my all time favorite games, yet it's been so long since I played I can't remember any missions except for one mission where you have to do some sort of escort. I despised that mission like I despise all escort missions in all games.

I was more of a original X-Wing guy....

I always loved the one where...now mind you it's been over 10 years since I've played this game....You're in your B-Wing, and you have to fly through some mines/empty freighters/something to destroy a Cruiser. You get ambushed and it's really difficult to fly around all the empty ships/mines/whatever and still destroy your target/the ambush.

I would be all over this if I remembered the game. :l I was something like 8 when I last played it. Every subsequent attempt equalled incompatibility with OS's and more modern controllers. Maybe I'll try again soon.

I do remember one time where you had to escort the emperor, so I guess that was cool. I also remembered getting ecstatic every time I was given the Defender to use. Because then you knew shit just got real.

Thanks to you, MFL, I just spent the past 30 minutes reliving the Gloglebag incident.

I can't recall any specific missions from TIE Fighter as it has been so long since I played it, but I do remember liking the gunboat missions the best. Versatile yet not overpowered like the defenders.

3 i remember for being awesome

- The mission where you fly with vader
- The mission where you have to save palpatine.
- Harvocs deflection

There was another mission early on, when you're still in the basic Tie fighter, you have to scan ship to see if they're hiding rebels (Its after hoth) you scan a ship and some rebels turn up (corvette and x wings i think.) I was told to 'head back to base, let the big boys deal with it.'

Even though the mission was really short and you didn't do much, it really immersed you being an imperial pilot.

I definitely remember that one. I think it was one of the very first missions, part of the "training" within the campaign.

X-Wing Alliance sucked compared to the original X-Wing(Which later spawned the sequel TIE Fighter), I just felt I had to say that.

Never heard of this game, must have been really good for you all to be reminiscing on it.
