Is the Orff the cruiser that jumps in with the cavalry? If it is, then i managed to save it, without any cheats.Never used cheats , actually, they take the fun out of the game.
The cruiser is taken out by a few bombers launched from the Hades. Take them out, and you will have saved the cruiser. Wich may i add, is very usefull later on, when he places itself hovering over the Hades fighterbay, pissing fire down on the launching fighters.
No Freespace 3 ?!? Oh, bugger...

You can use cheats; it's just that you can't advance to the next mission after doing so :p.  I myself didn't cheat on that mission, except for the fun factor of killing the Hades with a few rounds of Shivan Super Laser :p.

I never tried that, Swamp_Thing.  The only method I used to beat the Hades was one I found on the walkthrough from GameFaqs.  I hid in the angle between the engines and their supports, where the AI isn't smart enough to fire at you.  That, coupled with time compression and a rubber band around the joystick, led to dead Hades.  Of course, by doing that you're not able to save the Orff; I should try it the other way some time.

Won't work in the Port though.
