Reenactment of Operation Return.
ST-HMOGXT5W6
By @cultleaderxx
Estimated time: 30-35 minutes with a team of 5 players.
Players level 31+ can access (but intended for level 50)
My first mission.

I feel this is still in beta versions as I post this but I need some exposure and some honest reviews.

IMPORTANT
This mission is designed as a multiplayer battle and should not be played solo.

The mission is extremely heavy on space combat with 2 interior ground maps. Dialogue is minimal and truthfully I only included it as a test.

It plays very similar to Starbase 24 pve queue with massive amounts of space ships aligned for combat.

Spoilers follow! (as if there is such a thing in a primarily combat driven mission)

This mission contains: 4 maps of space combat with 2 interspersed bridge boarding party defenses. (interior ground maps)

1. The first map is a straightforward front-line formation of ships (Federation vs combined Cardassian and Dominion) opposed horizontally initiating combat will draw both sides together.

Objective: Destroy 3 Cardassian ships and break through the enemy line. (although in my experience people tend to want to eliminate all enemy ships before continuing)

2. The second map is an interior of a galaxy ship that has been boarded by a few waves of jem'hadar and cardassians.

Objective: Defeating all boarders. Kill all the enemies to continue to the next map.

3. The third map (space combat) is similar to the first map. It starts with two opposing fleets. One Fed and the other Dom and Card. The enemy is in a superior flanking position that tends to eliminate the ally ships quickly and leave the players to face daunting odds.

Objective: Again killing the 3 key ship squads allows the players to move to the next map. (players can, and often often stay to, defeat all enemies)

4. The fourth map (space combat) is a trap in which the players must first defeat a flagship of the dominion before withdrawing to regroup with the allied fleet.

The map starts with the players and allied ships surrounded on 3 sides. Again the superior positioning of the enemy leads to a quick defeat of the ally ships. Soon this leaves the players fighting overwhelming numbers of enemies.

Objective: Defeat the flagship and retreat quickly. (yet again players seem to want to stay and fight to destroy all the enemies which is a viable option)

5. The fifth map is another boarding action interior ground mission. This map is the bridge of an Odyssey. Again waves of enemies beam in and task the players with eliminating all boarders before allowing the players to continue.

The final map (space combat) the Federation ships finally regrouped and now outnumber the enemy.

Objective: Destruction of all enemy ships completes the primary objective and allows the players to end the mission.

    Fun mission. It almost feels like PVP. Furious combat in space and chaos on the bridges. I played with 3 people in my group and it was AWESOME.
