"Star Hammer"

This is the third of four Academy missions for the Star Wars X-Wing game. In this mission you will fly a Y-Wing in a variation of Grey's Tour 3 Mission 20 - "Star Hammer" - which, in turn, is a variation of a Rogue Squadron mission called "Suicide". All three version were created or modified by Lt. Col. Anthon Connor.

This mission was modified from it's original Rogue form to accommodate the X-Wing Undergrad section which was running concurrent with Grey Squadron at the time of it's second release. It was modified to it's present form to increase the difficulty level past it's original format.

Star Hammer is one of the most demanding missions you're likely to run. It requires excellent strategic planning and execution, exceedingly sustained patience and awareness, superior knowledge of Capital Craft, an outstanding knowledge of and familiarity with energy and weapons management in a Y-Wing, and it takes an extreme confidence in your own (and your craft's) abilities.

Should you be able to pass this mission at all, you will receive credit for this mission toward the "Master of X-Wing Combat Tactics" Medal.

In addition, you must finish the mission with a high enough "adjusted score" to qualify for the "Star Hammer" (Y-Wing Craft Master) Medal.

Here is a listing of all the Y-Wing Medal Winners.

You can calculate your adjusted score as follows:

  1. Take 1% of your total Points.
  2. Multiply by 1% of YOUR total Kills.
  3. Mulitply by your Laser Accuracy Percentage.
  4. Multiply by your Ion Accuracy Percentage.
  5. Multiply by your Missile Accuracy Percentage.

Here's an example using my scores for this mission:

  • My Points: 170,463
  • Therefore: 1% of 170,463 is 1,704.63
  • My Kills: 177
  • Therefore: 1% of 177 is 1.77
  • Therefore: 1,704.63 x 1.77 = 3,017.195
  • My Laser Hit Percent - 61%
  • Therefore: 3,017.195 x 61% = 1,840.488
  • My Ion Hit Percentage - 80%
  • Therefore: 1,840.488 x 80% = 1,472.390
  • My Missile Hit Percent - 100%
  • Therefore: 1,472.390 x 100% = 1,472.390
  • My Adjusted Score = 1,472.390

Qualification Requirements:

  1. You must pass this mission to receive credit toward the "Master of X-Wing Combat Tactics" Medal.
  2. You must have an Adjusted Score of at least 1,250 points to qualify for the "Star Hammer" (Y-Wing Craft Master) Medal.
  3. You must run this mission as "DEFECT" - Tour 1 Mission 1 - so that your stats can be recorded in your pilot.
  4. You must use a "clean" pilot for each run of this mission, and submit that pilot.
  5. Submit a detailed report including ALL the information from the mission debrief screen.
  6. You MUST include a screenshot of the Debriefing Screen. Use the command "Print Screen" on your keyboard and paste the graphic in any program (.gif or .jpg format will work best). If this is not possible, state clearly the reason for not being able to do so.
  7. There is no "Run" quantity limit - you can run the "Star Hammer" as many times as you want to qualify.
  8. There is no "Run" date limit - the "Star Hammer" has no "expiration date".
