XvT/BoP Imperial Operation: Consolidation 5/3/2017
 

This is the 15th set of a total of 20 mission sets/TODs that cover the time from just before the Battle of Yavin, to after the Fall of the Empire.
 
These are to be used/placed into your ...Balance of Power/Combat folder.
 
In this set the Loyalist forces, under the Secret Order, have established a base in the Delya system, out of sight of prying eyes. Here, they hope to consolidate what they have collected, and establish themselves as a safe haven for Imperials fleeing the New Republic. Your task is to maintain the security of the system, and that of nearby 'buffer zones' to keep Alliance forces away from the civilian population. It will not be an easy task.
 
All missions have been edited for fairness & balance (hopefully!), due the the enhanced AI and weapons effectivness in XvT/BoP. All have new briefings and descriptions. I've added LOTS of radio messages to act as "in game hints" and to further plot lines. Please pay attention to them, as some may save your life or your mission critcal craft.
Also, when possible, other craft in the mission can be selected for Player use, or for multi-player.
 
As always, =PLEASE= read the install instructions. Of course, the usual "Notes" and other nonesense.
 
Please note that this mission set =WILL= require one or another of the available Ship/Craft Patchs.

(works with original CD version and new GoG version)
 
For XvT =w/Bop= Addon, or GoG version (as the B-Wing is needed, & missions are saved in BoP format)
 
Operating from a secure base deep in Alliance held territory, Trojan Group conducts highly specalized infiltration missions. With several ex-Imperial or Old Republic starships, it is a highly mobile force ready to strike deeper into Imperial space than any other unit.
 
IMPORTANT NOTE: while this is a Rebel Alliance mission set (and labeled as such), because of HOW it's set up, you'll =ONLY= be able to fly this with your Imperial pilot. While I'm sure you could add these to the rebel.lst, during testing I experienced MAJOR failures of the game. So, for saftey's sake, be an Imp for these. Create a new pilot if necessary (reccomended).
 
These missions are to be used/placed into your ...Balance of Power/Combat folder.
 
Most of these missions have additional goals, LOTS of radio messages (which are often used as in-game hints), and "eye candy" added. They have been converted & almost completely rebuilt from their TFCD origins. Several use classic Sci-Fi Easter Eggs. See if you can find them!!
 
As always, PLEASE read this enclosed readme for full, detailed install instructions. Give the "Notes" & "Story" sections a read too for notes and background information!

XvT-BoP Draconis Ship Patch 1/2/2017
 
This ship patch was originally for old versions Win95/98 versions, the instructions herein are moddified for use with newer GoG version of XvT-Bop.
 
It is VITALLY important that this document be read all the way through before attempting installation of ANY of the files included herein. The files provided are "as is", as they originate circa 1997. You will be copying and pasting the various files and folders, as the original install bat file no longer works in Win7 and higher operating systems (well, at least for me).
 
For those that remember the "old days", this ship patch will add various and sundry ships to BOTH XvT and BoP, fighter types, crago craft and starships for use by both sides of the Galactic Cival War. See the enclosed original SPReadMe.txt for a more detailed listing.
Most, if not all, of the upcoming mission set conversions by me will =require= several of the ships in this craft patch set.
 
To make things even safer, it is required that you ==BACKUP== your entire original XvT game folder, with everything inside, to a safe location BEFORE INSTALLING ANY OF THESE FILES. Seriously, I really mean it! Do the safe thing!!
 
I've written, what I hope to be, fairly simple but detailed install instructions. Included are several images (jpgs) to help illustrate the install proceedures.
 
Any questions, comments, or issues, please post in them here at CombatAce, in this release announcement thread. We'll try to get any problems ironed out. But it's a fairly straight forward install proceedure.
So, PLEASE read it all the way through before attempting the install!!

Although, Incom Corp is testing the first of it's new starfighter prototypes...the T-65 X-Wing. One of those lucky enough to be involved with the project is Siranno DelSol, know as the 'Starry Knight' to his friends and family on his home of Marek Prime. Marek is a neutral planet, aligned with neither the Empire nor the Rebels. The political climate on Marek is a 'wait and see' policy with the both of them; shakily sitting on the fence between the waring factions.
And the future of it's inhabitants is about to be decieded....
These are to be used/placed into your ...Balance of Power/Combat folder.
Many of these missions have additional goals, messages (which are sometimes used as in-game hints), and "eye candy" added.
 
As always, PLEASE read this enclosed readme for full, detailed install instructions. Give the "Note" section a read too, for well, notes!

XvT/BoP Alliance Operation: Revolt on Draketh V & Return to Draketh 12/01/2015
 
For XvT -with- BOP add on (both original CD & new GoG version)
 
This package contain 2 sets of 12 mission each, in chronological order.
 
Revolt on Draketh V:
One of the major systems (Draketh V) that the Alliance had hoped would join the Rebellion against the Empre, has just fallen into Civil War. The dissidents that started this dispute are a group of Drakethians who refuse to live by Draketh V's governmental laws. This is a new group with few resources at their disposal; much like the early Rebel Alliance. Known as the Chasekk Directive, this group has begun to attack many vulnerable Alliance convoys in order to obtain supplies and weapons for their own use...
Return to Draketh:
The Alliance, successful in resolving the dispute between Deaketh V and the Chasekk Directive, has now gained the support of the Drakethians. However, the Chasekk Directive (who was secretly working on advanced shield generators during the Draketh V Tour) remains Neutral. They have not yet decided if they will join with the Alliance to Restore the Republic, or the Galactic Empire...
 
These are to be used/placed into your ...Balance of Power/Combat folder. Each set has it's own folder (part 1- drak, part 2- chas) and the lst reflect a chronological order.
 
Most of these missions have additional goals, messages (which are sometimes used as in-game hints), and "eye candy" added. To get the maximum points, stay 'in mission' until all goals are achieved.
 
As always, PLEASE read this enclosed readme for full, detailed install instructions. Give the "Note" section a read too, for well, notes! The original readmes for both sets are in their respective folders.
 
Good luck and good flying!

Original mission set for XWCD by Jeremy Lee, circa 199?

XvT/BoP Independant Operation: Privateer Assault 11/20/2015
 
For XvT =WITH= BoP addon (original CD**) or the new GoG version
 
This 6 mission set centers on a small group of privateers, working for the Rebel Alliance at the borders between Imperial, the Corporate Sector Authority, and Alliance controlled/contested space.
You are tasked with harrassing Imperial and Corporate assets and disrupt shipping vital to the Imperial war effort. And to make a profit all at the same time! You'll be attacking said assets, capturing shipping (and reselling said ships), and so forth.
 
These are to be used/placed into your ...Balence of Power/Combat folder.
 
All missions have been edited for fairness & balance, due the the enhanced AI and weapons effectivness in XvT/BoP. All have new briefings and descriptions where needed. I've added LOTS of radio messages to act as "in game hints" and to further plot lines. Please pay attention to them, as some may (will) be quite funny.
 
As always, =PLEASE= read the install instructions. Of course, the usual "Notes" and other nonesense, for the backstory and further details. The original reamed is included for historical purposes.
 
Good Hunting!
