you will have a orange triangle thing sitting on your radar. It is pointing out the direction you need to be travelling. Turn around until the orange triangle is sitting at the top of your radar, then head in that direction. You must know how to work your radar, otherwise you might end up dawdling around somewhere and you won't know which way to go.
Tip 2 : To escape annoying missiles, try doing a flip. You know when a missile has locked on because you hear a few beeps. If you're in a speeder or a V-wing, just do your best to dodge it, as those vehicles cannot do flips or any crazy moves like the others can. Sometimes, when you are approaching a missile turret to destroy it, try shooting at it from a long distance, and you might blow up some missiles before they get to you.
Tip 3 : Remember to destroy as many buildings as you can, for some of them have bonus's in them. See 3.4 for more details on Bonus's. They look like yellow crates with a red pole through them. You can't miss them.
Tip 4 : When using craft with multiple blaster cannons, linking them may come in handy. For example with the X-Wing, if you want to destroy a building faster, link your blasters until it shoots four lasers at once. However, this can also decrease rapid fire. On the V-Wing, link the blasters once to switch to rapid fire. These are really rapid, but can cause a burnout on the cannons. Try keeping them for short bursts.
Tip 5 : Some missions require you to destroy over a hundred enemies.
Blowing up buildings are a fast way to deal to enemies, plus adding to your count. Also, on Kile II, drop bombs over a squad of storm troopers, and all of them should blow up. This seriously increases your kill-count.
Tip 6 : Instead of turning quickly to chase a fighter that has just passed you, carry on ahead for a while before turning to pursue it. This technique is used best in the Thyferra mission, when Moff Serdon is trying to kill you. If you turn quickly to follow him, chances are you'll lose him. Also, enemy fighters change course faster than they change their underwear, so you might turn round and find no fighter there.

2.1 - The Walkthrough
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This section is the main part. Here, I will explain extensively about the mission, mission breifs, available crafts, recommended crafts, default crafts, objectives, enemies you'll encounter and how to fight them, tactics and mission descriptions.
I hope you find this the most useful FAQ you ever read, as I have put so much trouble into completing this, it takes me about a day to do each mission.
Cheerz...BIGGS.

//////////////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
================================Chapter One=====================================
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\//////////////////////////////////////////
Six months have passed since the battle of Yavin. The Death
Star has been destroyed, but the fight for freedom is far from over.
As the war against the Empire rages across the vastness of space, Luke Skywalker forms the legendary Rogue
Squadron from the Rebel
Alliance's most skilled X-wing pilots.
Their mission: to defend the struggling Rebel Alliance against the still powerful and battle hardened Imperial foe, in a last ditch effort to control the galaxy...
//////////////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
============================Ambush at Mos Eisley================================
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\//////////////////////////////////////////
Mission Breifs :Take an early morning run over Mos Eisley with Wedge
Antilles, but keep your eyes open for any special activity.
Planet : Tatooine
Available Craft : X-Wing Fighter
Recommended Craft : Naboo Starfighter / X-Wing Fighter
Default Craft : X-Wing Fighter
World Description : Tatooine is the homeland of Luke Skywalker. It is a barren wasteland, full of moisture farmers, Jawa's and Sand People, aka: Tusken Raiders. You may even see some Tusken Raiders out with their Banthas, along with
a Jawa sandcrawler.
Recommended Tactic : Do one patch of Probe Droids at a time. Use your radar, don't just fly around looking for kills. The best way to deal with the bombers at the end is to use your seekers. Save them up till the very end. If you do happen to use them before you get to the bombers, you can either commit suicide to replenish them, or just spend longer trying to shoot them down.
Objectives explained : Protect to homesteads: Don't waste time only shooting one droid per run, shoot the droids that are shooting the homesteads first, then take care of the others. make sure you find all of them, otherwise you will end failing because you took too long.
Save Mos Eisley: Save up all your secondary weapons till the end, where you have to eliminate the six TIE bombers bombing Mos Eisley. Press C-Down or Alt to change to secondary, and when you hear the beep and see the red cross hair lock on, press C-Down or Alt again to fire the secondary missile.
Enemies : 21 probe Droids, six bombers, 2 storm troopers and 2 storm troopers on animals. They are at the far right off where you start off.
Enemy Tactics : A single sirect hit should destroy a probe, or two glancing shots. For the bombers I recommend your secondary weapons, as they will most likely destroy a bomber in one shot. For the storm troopers, one overall shot can kill them.
Walkthrough : You start off having a chat to your mates, just a flight over
Mos Eisley. Then Janson says he sees something out of the ordinary. Luke pipes up, telling his mates to "accelerate to attack speed!". When you regain control, fly over the dip and the homestead-attacking probe out of the air. Don't worry about the other two probes, Hobbie and Janson take care of them. Now, go 90 degrees right, until you come to the end.
In the empty hollow, go to the end until you come to the four storm troopers checking out the escape pod C-3PO and R2-D2 landed in. Blow these guys away, then go a bit left until you to the place with the Jawa sandcrawler. Just follow your radar from here. There are also seven or eight near Jabba's palace as well. No, you can't destroy Jabba's Palace, so don't waste your accuracy on it. Once you have eliminated all of the probes, a cut-scene will show Mos Eisley getting bombed. If your using the X-Wing, hit the special function to speed you to Mos Eisley.
If you're having trouble finding it, it's near the place with
Jawa Sandcrawler. Use your Secondary Weapons for this task.
It cuts down on time and accuracy. Try and kill the bombers before they do too much damage. I think if more than three buildings blow up, you won't get Gold. Once all six bombers are knocked out, another cut-scene will appear, with the successful fighters flying over Mos Eisley, having another nice chat.
Coclusion : Congratulations, if you have done everything above within time, you have just completed the first and easiest course in the game. I'm afraid you don't get anything for it, except another level. Sniff sniff...
Requirements : Completion Time: 3:00
Enemies Destroyed: 31
Accuracy : 15%
Friendly Saves : 50
Bonus : 0

===========================Rendezvous at Barkhesh===============================
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\//////////////////////////////////////////
Mission Breifs : Escort valuable Rebel supplies through dangerous
Imperial territory in the humid lands of Barkhesh.
Planet : Barkhesh
Available Craft : X-Wing Fighter
Recommended Craft : Naboo Starfighter / X-Wing Fighter
Default Craft : X-Wing Fighter
World Description : Barkhesh is a grassland, with dry soil. There aren't many environmental features such as trees or bushes. it is rather like tatooine with lots of trenches and hills. Not very interesting.
Recommended Tactics : After you destroy the four probes in front of the convoy, turn around and go back to where you started. keep on going until you reach a little secret area with lots of storm troopers, a large tower and an AT-ST.
The bunker is invunerable, so use this to boost accuracy. It might help if you do this straight after you kill the last of the four TIE bombers and turrets as well, as then you know that the convoy will not be attacked.
Objectives explained : Escort the Supply vehicles to the landing zone: This is actually quite hard despite how easy it sounds.
Basically, Reikan urges you to stay with the supply vehicles. Do this to some extent, as fighters will come at the worst of times, and sometimes you will not be warned.
Enemies : Eight probe droids, seven AT-ST's, four bombers, five turbo lasers, one turret tower, 10 stormtroopers and a bunker (which is invincible).
Enemy Tactics : Like Ambush at Mos Eisley, probe droids can be destroyed with one direct hit, whereas AT-ST's require a bit of a pounding before snuffing it. Turbo lasers can't handle more than a few direct hits anf the turret tower will take maybe a missile and a lot of hits.
Storm troopers are vapourized in one hit.
Walkthrough : When you take control of the vehicle, blast the four probe droids out of the sky. Carry on towards the convoy base, and just after this, there are four more probe droids. Blow these guys away. As you continue, you'll get a call from Reikan telling you that it is imperative to stay with the supply vehicles. Carry on till you get to the first chicken walker.
Head towards him holding down the laser button until his head explodes. About now, one of your wingmates warns you that there are bombers coming. Don't take this lightly, as one or two hits can wipe out a supply vehicle. If you've got seekers, I strongly recommend using them. Turn around quickly back down the trench that the convoy is following, until you see a pair of walkers. Leave them smoking with a nice headache.
Use this time to fly out of the trench and shoot a few turbo lasers you might see to add to your kill total. Get back on course to see not one, not two, but three AT-ST's shooting the crap out of your supply vehicles. Immediately after you have destroyed them, turn around and look for bombers, as your wingmates don't warn you this time. If you're lost as to where you should look, go to the very side of the map. If this fails, go back to the trench that the supply vehicles came out of. Once you have shot down the fourth bomber, your main worry has gone. Turn to where the two military vehicles are battling the two turbo lasers. Decimate these, then carry on behind the fuming lasers. You will find the secret base. Here is the last chicken walker, a large tower, lots of troopers and a bunker that is invincible. Use this to your advantage however, as it will increase your accuracy the more you shoot it. Take care of the other enemies however, as the tower doesn't take long to deprive you of your sheilds, and it's certainly not scared of bringing you down. While you're there, as long as you have destroyed everything that could harm the supply vehicles and
Reikan is not ranting and raving at you, you should see a cut- scene of the landing ship coming out of the sky to pick up the supply vehicles.
Conclusion : Well done. Even being the second course, it isn't one of the easier courses to complete. Having said that though, as long as you don't fly around doing nothing, you should be fine. It took me two tries minimum to complete it, and I take my hat of to any one who has or can do it in one!
Requirements : Completion time: 5:45
Enemies Destroyed: 30
Accuracy : 40%
