I was just playing 'Crashing the Party', and after a poor run where the Saladin went down, I replayed it, and on a whim, ignored orders, and left my wingmen to protect the Narandum, while I got into Maxim range of the Moloch attacking the Harthanet, and took out its beam turrets. It still had 70% hull, so I thought that it would probably survive. I was confused later on, when it disappeared from my escort list. Once I'd completed my objectives, I looked back through the mission event list (under F4) and found that the Harthanet had self-destructed. That was disheartening. I wonder if you might either A, include a bonus objective for its survival, (which would require some more voice files at least for the mission debriefing), or B, guardian-threshold the Moloch's beams until the Harthanet is destroyed.
