Due to a few threads on the subject and the general confusion about the LS nebulae, here is a VP file of the DDS format versions of Lightspeed's Nebulae, bundled with the retail missions updated to use them.
Installation instructions:
-Download the file here. (http://files.filefront.com/LSNebulaeFS2Missions/;8131471;;/fileinfo.html)
-Unzip. You need 7zip, which can be downloaded for free from www.7zip.org. For those wondering why 7zip, it's free, open-source, and has higher compression than RAR format.
-Place the LSNebPlusFS2Missions.vp file in the same directory as your media VP files (ideally, this folder will be named mediavps).
-Run Freespace with the -mod flag set to your mediavps folder. As always, it can also be listed a a secondary mod to enable the nebulae in other mods, like Derelict.
This pack contains the missions as uploaded by Admiral Nelson in his thread, and Wanderer's version of the DDS-converted nebulae files. I opted to use Wanderer's files rather than the original image formats due to disk space requirements - the originals ring in at 140 MB, the DDs files come in around 40.
This is a stopgap measure until the nebulae and missions are both included in the next set of media VP files, although I may continue hosting it if the nebulae are relagated into advanced effects instead of the regular effects package.
NOTE: Disregard messages below about file availability, the link should work now.

FileFront has been snarky with me for two days. It won't let me delete or move that file. The download worked earlier - try again tomorrow. If it's still being *****y I'll have to email support.

Okay, but the modifications to "Their Finest Hour", namely, the activation of the beams on the sobek and aeolus still haven't been completed......

I just packaged the missions as they were released by Admiral Nelson. I haven't had a chance to go through them and bugfix.
However, if someone else wants to bugfix and upload the mission files themselves here, I'll happily repack them into this VP.

Beam Free all ships by default?

I think I have the fixed mission somewhere...can't recall if Ireplaced the nebulas with Lightspeeds tough..
EDIT - dang, can't find it
Well, when you're reparing the mission do move the Sath a bit closer to the Collie..so it actually fights back a little before it dies...makes it's death more heroic.. once it actually managed to take the Sath with it ;7

I re-enabled the engines in that version... they do get very close... but the colussus still dies... NOOO!!!
