Mission 15: Moff Seerdon's Revenge

Another very difficult mission. Your main problem is caused by the missile launchers and the Tie Interceptors.

Before you start this mission you may find it helpful to ensure that you collected the Seeker Proton Torpedoes bonus from Mission 12, as it will make defeating Moff Seerdon much easier.

Basically the objective of this mission is to destroy everything that is Imperial and try to save as many civilians as you can. When you start there is a missile turret dead ahead which you should destroy first. It will usually manage to launch one missile at you which you should try to shoot down.

The orange mark on the radar will tell you where to go and for each area you need to follow the same basic pattern. Destroy any missile turrets, then gun turrets and then the AT-STs. Only when the area is secure should you turn you attention to non-hostile targets, such as the bunkers.

There are a few areas which are being bombed by Tie Bombers, all you need to do is shoot the Bombers down. They are usually fairly easy targets as they just circle above the buildings that they are bombing.

The bonus for this level (Cluster Seeker Missiles) is located inside one of the bunkers (just behind you when you start). It is well worth taking the time to collect as it will make the next level much easier to complete.

The main hinderence through this part of the level is the almost unrelenting attack from Tie Interceptors. You need to watch out for them as they can soon wear down your shields. They are also very difficult to pick off. If you are having dificulty destroying them then I suggest using 'F' to close the S-Foils and run away from them.

After you have destroyed all the land based targets you will have to destroy any Ties that remain. Your wingmen are a small help but you will have to do most yourself. Try to save the seeker torpedoes as you will need them later, however if you are taking ages destroying the Ties then they can be used as a good alternative to blasters.

Once the Ties have been destroyed Moff Seerdon will show up in his shuttle. Unfortunatly his shuttle has missile launching capabilities. If he manages to launch a missile, either shoot it down or scarper by pressing 'F'. When you can use the Seeker Torpedoes on the shuttle as they do a lot of damage and will soon have the shuttle destroyed.

Try to keep R2D2 alive as he can repair your X-Wing. If you shields are getting low then just fly away and wait for R2 to repair them.

To prevent Moff Seerdon from launching his missiles you have to stay close to his ship. This makes it quite a hard target to shoot but he will be unable to hit you. You will get several messages over the radio as you wear his ship down as soon as you have destroyed it the mission is complete.

If you are going for the Gold medal then your main problem is time. You only have six minutes to complete the whole level. You don't need to worry to much about the other objectives as they will usually fall into place. To cut down on the time try and shoot as much stuff in one area in a single pass as you can. If you know you only have seconds to spare and you also have another life then you can try crashing into Moff Seerdon's ship to save valuable seconds.
