I'm talking specifically about plotting the departure point for the Iceni.  I doubt anyone would figure out how to jump out successfully without reading the readme first. ;)

I had the right idea the first time... i went upwards-ish to plot a departure point.... but i forgot what exactly i did wrong, i dont think i went up enough, and i died.   Then i started getting really frustrated because i kept dying at the end of the level... then i read the readme and realized how stoopid i was when i found out that you're SUPPOSED to die.  so i say to myself, "what a moron!"

I had the right idea, but I had to open it in FRED to see just how far away the waypoint was.

You don't have to be at the waypoint - you just have to be closer to it than to any of the cruisers.

Hmm.  I just realized that that may in fact be too far.  I should probably move the waypoint closer.  I'll update the mission with this and with the reskinned Bosch Beer containers.

Still playing it at the mo, my worst problem is that I tend to be so busy laughing at the dialogue, I'm not looking at the screen ;)

I just updated it to version 1.1.  Most of the stuff is unchanged, but I added some extra graphical elements and tweaked mission 5 to make plotting the departure easier.  The latest version can be found at the GeoCities link or on the HLP 2.0 website. :)
