<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: X-Wing Alliance&trade;, the final and definitive installment of the epic X-Wing space-combat sim series, is available now - for the first time in digital distribution - on GOG.com!

<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: X-Wing Alliance&trade; is the culmination of over half a decade, and three installments, worth of improvements to the epic space-combat sim series. The fourth and final entry delivers the deepest, biggest, and most complete X-Wing gameplay experience to date. The game allows players to see the Galactic Civil War through the eyes of a rookie pilot as they're treated to a story-rich campaign and unique perspective on events from behind the scenes. You will have to earn every single medal and promotion during your time in the rebel fleet, and in the end - you'll even get to pilot the Millenium Falcon!

Climb aboard the definitive Star Wars™ space-combat sim with <i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: X-Wing Alliance&trade;, available now on Windows - for the first time in digital distribution - on GOG.com!

Want to see the game in action? Join TotalBiscuit at the live stream this Friday, 7pm GMT / 2pm EST / 11am PST, on our Twitch.tv/GOGcom channel. Follow us for an alert when the stream goes live!

Gan_HOPE326: I've literally NEVER passed the Tydirium mission. I always skipped it. The fact that it takes a lot of (boring) time to get to the point where I would inevitably fail in ten seconds flat due to being identified (!!!) by some TIE flying bastard didn't help. That mission is broken. I'd rather fly the Death Star tunnel run ten times over than do that.

One of my favourite missions has to be the mission after that one, the last Alliance mission before the Battle of Endor. Lots of dogfighting in between capital ships. Now that's the heart of a Star Wars game for me.
Yeah, that's the problem. It takes a long time to get to the critical point in the mission and then one out of two things happens to me:

a) The shuttle is destroyed by Tie-Bombers.
b) I get destroyed because the number of fighters on station is overwhelming.

I managed to beat it before, but it definitely is one of the hardest missions in the game.

Exactly. That is why I love the Combat Sim in this game. Plop a couple of SD and Mon Cal Cruisers 5 KM apart and throw in a bunch of starfighter squadrons and you are good to go.

I only wish there was a good level editor and support for custom made missions with triggers etc. Back in the day, the only "modding" I could ever do was hack some game files by hand to make some ships flyable (like the Experimental TIEs, or even a Star Destroyer, though it's not an especially fun experience XD).

Whoa, cool. I guess the new missions take place of the campaign ones though? Since there's no obvious support for custom missions?

That would be my guess, I have never been into designing missions for XWA to be honest.
