djhardrock try moving the downloaded files to your normal tbp folder (not a new clean build) that worked for me, but as I've said it lost me the opening sequence.
Mission 3 appears to have an no end problem - the EAS Trinity was destroyed before the Raider carrier jumped, the should we chase message was sent by 'EA pilot' and the mission didn't end, I tried several time compressed minutes but nothing happened. Also mission 3 is hard, though mostly because the entirety of wave 4 appears to attack the trinity from inside it's engine wake
, and the trinity's seemingly eratic movements make it very vunerable to blind side attacks. Giving up for now as frustation>enjoyment. Will go back to it tomorrow, when I have time
Oh yes and on mission 3 you suddenly lose control of your ship (no weapons fire, movement etc) if I try restarting without returning to the briefing/ready room.
Sorry I didn't have the time to help play test madaboutgames
