In the old game, they were my favorite too, for a gemeral purpose craft,

That mission wasn't half as bad as the near-impossible one where you had to
destroy the two freighters and the two dozen lazer firing probes, all before
the Star Destroyer came and crashed the party.  But I think that was an
X-Wing mission.
