Hi!

The Lulsla missions are giving me a bit of a hard time, what with sometimes my whole own team getting chewed up since they can't avoid fighting in range of enemy capital ships, or the constant missile barrage that seems to target you randomly. This is fine, that's how I remember Tie-Fighter to have been originally as well, A LOT OF replays.

However after replaying both of those missions about ten times, I'm wondering about the topics issues. I have no idea what to do to a missile, and the capital ships themselves seem to drop like 90% of AI torpedos. I noticed the torpedo destroying effieciency in the outpost defence mission as well, it was perfectly fine to let half of them through, the outpost took them out. Obviously I know how to dumbfire, but there's just not enough torpedos to do the mission by yourself. Missile defense on my own part is a total mystery. Chaff seems to do nothing, there's hardly ever time to shoot down the missiles, especially since usually it's two A-Wing on your tail and getting atleast one down fast is a must. Were missiles this deadly to Gunships in the original, I can't remember hating the little yellow light this much?

I noticed this as well. Maybe there could be a patcher version with reduced enemy accuracy when shooting down torpedoes? I know it was cheesy with the original, but the 200% shields and this really is bad news for anything like the Tie Bomber, or the Gunboat and Missileboat.
