CT27:
No, I didn't have a problem with the Akheton anywhere else from what I remember on the current version (current PI version/FSO 22.2/4.6.X MVPs).

Although, I do remember when I used the previous version of PI (i.e., not the current one) on a older nightly and the 4.0 MVPs it (the Akheton) worked fine/normally on the Saturn.  Could a change in FSO version and MVPs affect things?

CP5670:
I tried the mission out and noticed this issue too. The lifetime is somehow lower than what it's set to in weapons.tbl. I wonder if it's being overriden in the MVPs somewhere.

in mv_effects_vp.  You'd want to add your own mv_effects-wep.tbm with everything the same but your changes to lifetime, etc for the Akheton. Altheratively you could make an "Akheton SDG mk II" or suchlike.

CP5670:
I added in a copy of that file with this parameter changed and uploaded it to Knossos (version 1.7.4). The lifetime really shouldn't be in that file to begin with though.

The problem is the game gives priority to the MVP tbm before any campaign tbm, unless the campaign tbm has the same filename and overrides the entire file.

Admiral Nelson:
Yep. Been there many times.  :)
