it's a no briefing mission, which I thought usually means you carry over what you flew in the previous mission.
But no matter how I complete Field of Destruction, I wind up in a Zeus bomber, with 8% hull. :wtf: This makes the mission virtually impossible to complete.

Yup. :v: screwed up on that one. :)
Red-alert missions start you off on whatever craft you flew in the most recent red-alert mission. Doesn't matter whether that was several missions ago or even in a different campaign altogether.
This is just one of the :wtf: aspects of the original Silent Threat. We kept it to preserve the feel of the original (and to provide a contrast for ST:R :D). Just use cheats to get through it.

Is that why I always ended up in an Ursa with 3 banks of Harbingers (made the cruiser kill easy but made it very hard to protect the pods.

Probably, if that's what you used for the "kill the Lucifer" mission.

Now the mission has started crashing on me. :ick:
It's hard to describe, but it's happened 5-6 times in a row now. The first time I went to put in the cheats as soon as the mission starts, and when I ~+w to get infinite missles (I had zero) the game hangs for 2-3 seconds then crashes. Another time it crashed when a message tried to play, and another time when I tried to look behind.
Every time it's less than 15 seconds into the mission, and its a proper crash ("xxx encountered a problem and needs to close. Please tell Microsoft about this problem* *we love invading your privacy and meddling with computer software that we aren't affiliated with or have any clue about whatsoever"), not an assertion fault.
