too have been flumoxed by that mission, methinks a Fredder should take a look at the victory conditions. But I think you have to eliminate all the fighters, and I mean ALL the fighters including the wings that haven't jumped in when you're told to leave.
Nope, that's not it. The mission objectives:
-AWACS must finish waypoints
-AWACS must depart
-Destroyer must depart
The first two are invalidated but I think this is the problem:
Alarcity is down!
-When
-is-destroyed-delay
-1
-Alarcity
-send-message-list
-invalidate-goal
-Patrol area
-Protect Alarcity
The problem seems to be, that the goals are invalidated AFTER they've been failed. Or at least that's my take on it. Still doesn't explain why I haven't been able to skip the damn thing by killing myself.
I think there are some other bugs as well. One problem is in finding the enemy AWACS in the first place:
The Destroyer says 'I think there's a ship around, we'll get a fix in a minute'. But finding the ship isn't time sensitive, it depends on destroying Artemis DH bombers. So four and a half minutes later the ship shoots, says 'we can't hit it' and then 'oh hey, there's the AWACS go kill it.'
It also doesn't make sense to me why the enemy Frigate would smoke the AWACS but afterwards would just move around for 14 minutes and not fire at the Destroyer or the Corvette. Despite the fact its fired upon at least once.
Not my favourite mission by any means.
