Krios escape pod mission in ST
Hi all,

Forgive me if this is an old topic that's been covered but I couldn't find anything in the forums.

Now, then.
I'm pretty new to FS, and I've just been playing through ST for the first time on fsport. I got through the mission in which you protect Iota wing through an asteroid field. It doesn't seem to ever tell you that you're done and it's safe to jump out. After a while of sitting at the end blowing up asteroids, I jump out and am told Good Job, etc. The next mission drops me 6km from the Krios, which is being blown up by 12 GTI fighters. I've started with 57% hull integrity, my squad display shows that I am supposed to have two full wings, but I'm the only one alive, and I'm being told to defend 8 escape pods against the 12 fighters.

I just can't do it, and it seems like such an extreme circumstance that I keep thinking, "maybe it's a bug, and this isn't supposed to happen this way?"

Well, is it a bug or do I just suck?

It's a bug, but it was a bug in the original Volition-created mission too.

Just open that mission in FRED and remove the red-alert flag, and you'll be playing it the way it was meant to be played. :)

I hate that mission.

BTW, a Fenris attacks the pods too. ::)

It was something to do with red-alert carry overs, right?

Yep, apparently Volition just had it that any red-alert mission loadout would carry out into the next red-alert mission

Re: Krios escape pod mission in ST
One problem with that fix is that I run Linux exclusively, and therefore my access to FRED is rather limited. It runs, but abysmally and I can't edit the mission specs correctly. If someone could someone post their fixed fsport-missions.vp I would be very grateful!

Just dump the attached file into FreeSpace2/data/missions and you should be good to go. :)

Then the Leviathan shouldn't have been a problem. :D
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!
