X-WING

　Mission 1: Commerce Raid

　File Name: ywastem
　Mission Briefing
　In this mission, you learn to track and destroy enemy starfighters. Use all the Y-wing's weapons to destroy as many Imperial craft as you can.
　Dafid's Training Objective
　"This is your first mission in a Y-wing, so I want you to pay attention to how your systems operate. Learn to use your targeting controls and your weapon systems. Just because you can fly an X-wing doesn't mean that you can just hop into a Y-wing and know everything. Pay attention to your energy configuration, and use it to control speed and firepower."
　Tactical Summary
　This mission is an easy one because most of the Imperial craft aren't even moving. You learn to assign targets to memory locations in the targeting computer, issue wingman commands, switch between weapon systems, and adjust speed to maximize firepower on a target.
　Use the normal mission start sequence. Cycle through the targets until you locate a freighter, and order your wingman to attack it. Also, assign it to a memory location ([Shift]-[F5]) and continue cycling to find the other freighter and assign it to a memory location, too ([Shift]-[F6]). Freighters should be your first priority - they can escape, while the containers aren't going anywhere!
　As always, time is critical, because Imperial reinforcements are triggered by the destruction of the FRT Banthar. Switch to torpedoes and fire one at the nearest freighter. Now target containers and fire one torpedo at each, saving at least one torpedo for later. By now you should be within cannon range of the nearest containers, so switch to lasers and reduce speed to one-third ([[]). As you close on the freighter, try to destroy a few of the containers you've weakened with torpedoes. Now help your wingman finish off the freighter at F5. As soon as you've done this, order him to attack the freighter at F6 while you destroy containers.
　When the shuttle arrives, go to full throttle and switch to torpedoes. Fire one at it as soon as you get a lock, and then finish it off with lasers. If you've closed fairly rapidly, you may have to reduce speed back to one-third ([[]). When the shuttle is gone, increase throttle to full ([Backspace]), and head back toward whatever targets remain. Reduce throttle to one-third ([[]) again as you come within cannon range. As new freighters enter the area, order your wingman to attack them.
　The Space Tugs aren't part of the mission's win conditions, but they are easy to destroy, requiring only one shot each. Target them if you find them conveniently in your path. The Imperial Frigate should arrive just as you've cleared the area. This is a good time to leave unless you want to engage the many TIE fighters it will launch. For more of a challenge, send your wingman home at the beginning of the mission and take out the first freighter as quickly as you can, using four torpedoes, and then cannons to finish.
　Win Conditions
　Freighters Banthar and Deddite, shuttle Krayt, and container Lambda 3 all must be destroyed. Also, at least 50 percent of (each group of) container groups Lambda, Kappa, and Iota must be destroyed.
　Note: The names of containers Lambda, Kappa, and Iota should be Chi, Psi, and Pi, respectively.
