I have played them a couple time on all difficulty setting and I really must say they are a rather well done. I think they are truly a cut above all the other Patrols at this point.
Simply put they are engaging and layered as well as enmeshed with a continuous flow of story and clash involving a rather fitting overall gameplay balance replete with a fabulous mix of foe and friendly forces.
On elite level they are collectively shock and awe experiences. I mean that in a rather positive way as they are particularly challenging. This is especially so if your build is not up to snuff and then some or if you don't play your role properly. Ultimately you will simply die fast but gloriously!

I think going through missions on normal should not be a walk in the part as a base line. I believe a white ship should be killable without a focused effort for the AI as the standard tuning. Furthermore, a purple ship should have to make an effort to some degree.
Additionally, then on advanced the player should really be good at playing his class as well as sport a good build and have solid tactics.
Finally on elite the player ship ought to be pure gold with the player knowing his class well in addition to being a skilled tactician and a good strategist but I could be wrong...

@andrewsbane#8127 please be aware of when the thread was last posted in for the future. Anything over 30 days is considered dead so generally better to start a new thread if possible. This thread hasn't been posted in for a year.
If you are still having issues with this, feel free to ask for help as many forumites will be more than willing to offer advice. If you can't start a new thread yet for some reason... feel free to contact me or one of the other mods (darkbladejk and wingedhussar) and we'll see what we can do.
