-Epic Missions are special types of mission. Typically, if the player's craft is destroyed during play, the mission will be failed. However, in Epic Missions the player will be given the chance to select a new craft to pilot, upon the destruction of their current one. This will continue until no more craft are available to the player. Epic Missions are also characterised by the number of active participants. There may be dozens of craft battling at once, victory going to the side to eliminates all their opponents. Note that even though there may be over 100 craft available to each side, only a certain number of these (for example, 32) will be present in the battle. Other craft will arrive as each side takes losses, to shore up the numbers. +Epic Missions are special types of mission.

However, in Epic Missions the player will be given the chance to select a new craft to pilot upon the destruction of their current one. In many cases, the number of times the player can switch pilots will be limited. This will continue until no more craft are available to the player, or the player runs out of available pilots, which ever comes first.
