I don't remember what the composition of Alpha or Beta is supposed to be like but I have Hercs for Alpha wing and Ulysses for Beta wing. No bombers because well... they're all dead for some reason at the start of the mission. Anyone know why this is happening?

[Cobra]

What build are you using?

[Goober5000]

Several possibilities...

1) Did all the bombers die in the previous mission?  I've had that happen to me because I was dogfighting and not paying attention.
2) Are you using a pre-3.7 build and switching between campaigns?
3) An undiagnosed red-alert bug...

In any case -- Please post your fs2_open.log file.  Instructions on how to do this can be found in this post.

[Deepstar]

You reached the Sol Node and jumped out before Delta and Epsilon launched from the Bastion is another possibility :-).

[Mongoose]

I don't know about Epsilon, but it'd be nigh-impossible to get to the node before Delta arrives, at least if I'm remembering things right.

[MatthTheGeek]

Unless you don't destroy the wing of Basilisk at the beginning. Galatea sucks too much to do it, and Delta doesn't spawn until they're down, IIRC.

As soon as the mission started, I put all power towards my engines and afterburned to the jump node. Not very fast in a Herc. I didn't use any cheats or anything, just pressed "\" to hit max thrust and constant burners when the bar would recharge. I don't recall any of of my wingmen dying... if any of them did, it was just 1 or 2 guys. Certainly not 2 entire wings.

Recently installed FS2 Open again and I'm starting off with FS Port before doing any of the other campaigns so I'm not doing anything crazy.

That's probably it, then.  I just double-checked the mission file, and like Matt said, the arrival of Delta is tied to the destruction of the Arjuna wing of Basilisks at the beginning of the mission; in turn, Epsilon wing arrives about 3 minutes after Delta does.  In addition, Arjuna's arrival is tied to the destruction of two other Shivan wings that are present at mission start.  Command doesn't tell you to go after the Lucifer until after Arjuna is destroyed, which also invalidates the "Escort the Bastion" directive, so if you're playing through the mission normally, you'll be sticking around the Bastion anyway and picking off the fighters as they come in.  I guess figured that the goals were enough to keep players in the area, and never accounted for the possibility of someone flying off at the very start.

In any case, since Good Luck is a red-alert mission, it should give you an option to replay the previous mission.  Do that, and stick around killing Shivans at the beginning until Command tells you to get a move on.

Yeap, you're right. Killed the Shivans BEFORE gunning it for Delta Serpentis and it's all good. Thanks, I feel kinda dumb now.

You shouldn't. FS1 missions have weird tricks in them that you don't see in most of your playthroughs.
