Sorry, my fault  :nervous:
If I'm just aching this can't go on
I came from chasing dreams to feel alone
There must be changes, miss to feel strong

Yep. No reason he can't.

Huh. I first played BP in '08 and had no idea. He's ALWAYS, ALWAYS died on that mission for me. I thought it was just scripted. Then again I've always played on insane difficulty... wow I had no idea he could survive. Thought he was some random red shirt you guys just threw in so he could die in mission 2 :-p

Those are called "Mauve Shirts".
You get to know him, maybe even like, it seems like he will be on a team, then he dies a horrible death.
Classic trick, but Darius wrote it really well.
BTW, I flew entire AoA beta on Insane, though didn't saved Nehru.
I replayed Forced Entry so many times that I overloaded FSO texture cache and got a strange texture corruption (twice).  :)

I actually saved him the first time, and was shocked to realize he didn't have 'plot armor' when I replayed it on a higher difficulty.

Nehru is indeed a Mauve Shirt.  For those who don't know, a Mauve Shirt is a form of Ascended Extra.  Too important to die for no reason, not important enough for a starring character role.  He can still die, but needs more of a reason than a redshirt, and sometimes won't die at all.  Important to note that he doesn't have to die.

...my memory must really be shot, because I don't even remember this Nehru from my original play-through. :p

Nope. He's not in any later mission, whether or not he survives.

I want stories - and preferably video as well - of any brave pilot who can complete The Dragon Awakes, Forced Entry, Keepers of Hell, A Time for Heroes, and Universal Truth on Insane, both with or without Fury's 3.6.12 upgrade.

They can all be done.
Done TDA on Insane with the new AI now (Nehru survived, Zeta wing didn't >.>), ironic that I did it the first time I tried in a Perse, the Aurora really is a steaming pile-o-......
I'll be replaying some of those othres on insane with the new AI cuz I sorta blitzed through half the mod on hard without realising I'd reduced it.
Universal Truth however, I don't have an 'insane' I have something beyond insane, perhaps 'unpossible', xP 5-10FPS = Bad for the skillz :<

It's also worth noting that Nehru held up the release of AoA V2 by about a week...

Hmm, just did The Dragon Awakes on Insane and fraps it.  Nehru died but I think I have a tactic that can easily keep him alive but I didn't want to actually use it as it's kinda "cheating".  Pretty sure I can do the other ones too.

Well, I'll put up the video.  I used half of the idea already (even if that much didn't work).  The best way to survive a fight is not to get into a fight...

I've never managed to keep him alive - how is it explained how he's just...not there in the later missions if he survives? Does he transfer out or quit or something?
