INTRODUCTION AND CREDITS
ACX - Walkthrough

<placeholder>

Hello and welcome Ace Combat fans of all ages and races to ES.info's official Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception walkthrough brought to you by X-49 (aka Off_da_border). This guide was tailored with people new to the series in mind to get the most out of their games. I've tried as much as possible to avoid any major plot spoilers throughout the way but I cannot guarantee you a 100% spoiler free walkthrough. Minor spoilers might include names of aces, minor events in missions and perhaps mission locations.

If you've a query about the game you can either post it in the respective topic here (recommended) or send me a PM. I no longer respond to e-mails and I apologise to anyone who's still waiting for a reply: it won't happen.

Credits:
First of all I'd like to thank everyone who helped through their e-mails pinpointing mistakes and errors in the guide. I'd make a list but it'd be far too big, so yeah. Again, I apologise if I ignored your mail.

Thanks obviously go to Namco (now Namco Bandai) for maintaining a consistently brilliant series and here's hoping the next game would be just as superb. My thanks also go to the GameFAQs staff for hosting the standard version of the guide and everyone on the Ace Combat X GameFAQs forum for supporting the FAQ.

Special credits go to Dragoljub for pointing out a crapload of mistakes when the FAQ was just starting out, Javier Escaler for the Mission 11B star unit and various S-rank requirements, Neo_Razgriz (Ribbon-Rena for Electrosphere users) for the Mission 15A star unit info and finally Grandmort for yet more S-rank requirements. You can visit Grandmort's Ace Combat 4 fansite at www.shatteredskies.net.

Finally I cannot express my thanks enough to the entire Electrosphere team of ribbons and members for numerous reasons, their continuous support over the years and keeping this great AC fansite on its feet. Extra credit goes to the Blue, Yellow and Cobalt ribbons, Heartbreaker One, Acrobat Ace, cbale2000, RzB, lincer whose numbers I can't recall at the moment and PhantomPhanatic.
