Star Wars: Squadrons/Walkthrough

The single player campaign features 14 missions that alternate between the Galactic Empire and New Republic viewpoints. As such, you will have to make two characters: one aligned with the Empire, and the other with the Republic.

There are four categories of character customization in the single player campaign, with additional elements available in multiplayer.

There are twenty pre-set head designs available in the campaign - ten per side. See the bottom of the page.

The body structure can either be male or female.

There are ten voices available for the New Republic and the Empire.

Each pilot's name can be customized however you want.

Character customization options for single player cannot be reset unless you reset your story progression, so ensure you have everything set up properly.

After choosing your character customization options, you can choose either standard or instruments only mode. With instruments only, things like targeting brackets and health bars for objectives will not appear on the main screen - you must fly using your instruments only, and see only what a normal human being in the same cockpit would see. Standard is the recommended option, especially for new players.

You can then set a difficulty level. Unlike other options, the difficulty level can be changed in the middle of your playthrough. The difficulty levels are:
 * Story Mode (For players who want to experience the story and the thrill of space combat, without a significant challenge. Enemies are less dangerous, starfighter control is easier, and aiming is greatly assisted.)
 * Pilot (For players with some experience in flight games. Balanced for a challenging and rewarding adventure.)
 * Veteran (Recommended for players with lots of experience in flight games. Enemies are more deadly and more agile.)
 * Ace (Master your piloting skills in the most challenging difficulty mode. All fighters are more fragile - including yours.)

Once all your settings have been configured, you can launch the game and proceed to the game's prologue.
