On the mission where you have to "play dead"...is it just me, or is that mission several times harder than it was originally? I can barely get to the play dead part, and almost immediately afterwards the Grace dies.

The messages seem to be ****ed up, Mackie sends one about the Shivans arriving as soon as the mission starts.

And of course, I don't think there's supposed to be 3 wings of Shivan fighters actively trying to kill you while you're 'playing dead', kind of spoils the strategy.

Am I getting the 'canon' Derelict experience, and should just give up and try it on Very Easy, or is there something else going on? (I'm on "Easy" )

Same here, this mission is totally screwed on FS2_Open.

It doesn't matter anyway, you can just Alt-J to warp out and continue with the other missions.

I could play it without any of those problems like 3 months ago.

I think it's a SEXP error.

It seems that the SEXP that *should* execute after the whole play dead thing is being executed before, causing all the enemy wings to jump in.

Stick this in Derelict's data/missions folder, it will make the mission playable.

What's really needed is a weapons-fired SEXP, or better yet, a SEXP to check if the player has executed a certain action for a key, not just pressed a key.

Edit: Note that while the mission will be playable, and beatable, every time the Shivans show up they'll detect you. This seems to be a problem with a SEXP, but I don't know which it is.

I've played Derelict under FSO and never had this problem.

Topace(my friend) told to me he not like derelict because many many bugs. I played it also and not had problem with it only was difficult.
I remember that mission I did liked it's idea. original.

Ahh Derelict... I still got the first few voice files for this game. It adds so much atmosphere

They never did finish off the voice acting sadly...

I just got up to this level in Derelict and I can confirm the 'play dead' bug, The Dragon's fly past but the Maras already around just park behind me and chew away
