Now I actually have to be good at the game!

With no remaining pilot file I'm replaying the original campaign and the penultimate mission of the initial run of family mission is HARD! You have to be ON those TIE Bombers, and that means keeping track of the message log, and the targeting system. Having said that, once I'd got my head in the game I was able to save 85% of the Rebel ships, I felt pretty good about myself after that.

We're doing some mission checks to make sure some aren't too hard.
But yes it doesn't help if you are old now ;)

I'm not an old man by any means, but I'm in my mid-30's now and it's not like being 15 any more. On the other hand, I'm smarter now than I was and I still have all the muscle memory from my teens.
