Started playing with the 2.1 patch today on insane, so far no prob, I just wonder if there's any way to complete "Smash'n'grab" without lowering the difficulty level? The mission is just difficult in a stupid way, old FS2 style asteroids would be much more fun to blow to bits anyway

Actually I toned down the difficulty of that one quite a lot, it used to be even worse. So count yourself lucky

Hehe, not that lucky I have played the earlier version of the campaign thru 2 times Still, I don't think the mission's possible to complete on insane..or is it?

Probably not. The game engine adjusts the number of asteroids upwards based on difficulty level. That's not a bad idea in itself but unfortunately it does get a little carried away. Apparently the SCP has added a new table that lets you tweak this particular difficulty level adjustment. So this problem may go away in future releases of TBP.
