And I hate where the mission designer forgets to remove the Dogfight weaponry from the weapon selection list.

What is exactly the problem with RR? Do you have problems with the mission you have to catch an HoL spy? I have never had any problems with capture operations either in the main FS1 campaign or while testing RR.

Ooh, yes, this is a very good point.  It's amusing and incredibly annoying at the same time.  Sometimes you're left to fend off both the enemy and your own wingmen from destroying the ship you're meant to capture. :lol:

1. Large freindly ships you're suposed to escort jumping out without alerting you first or with enough time, for example

The bastion in 2n'd last mission
The aquitane when you get it out of the nebula

Overly good grammar (ok probably not the exact right word) in stressfull infromation
ex

A shivan destroyer, the SD Beezlbub, has jumped in 200 meteres from my position.
vs
A destroyer just jumped in, the Beezlebub!

Unless ofcourse the message broadcaster is vasudan. ;)
actualy, mabye not.

That could be part of the character, though...assuming they actually thought that out.

This may seem a tad nasty (no, very nasty), but to be honest, apart from the really good user-made campaigns (Aeos Affair, Derelict, Warzone etc.) I can never remeber the other ones.  They just seem like gap-fillers.  So maybe it's that only the most fantastic FREDers should make missions, everyone else 'go home'.
Yup, tad nasty, but aint it the truth?

No.

Evidently, you are not a FREDder.

I wouldn't dream of telling any FREDder not to work on campaigns just cause of a lack of skill. You learn only by doing.

What I may do is point them at the FA so they don't have to worry about plot as much while they improve their skills.

A n00b is impolite, lacks English or other relivant langauge skills, and is annoying in general.

A newbie is someone who is new to the forum/Internet, but in general attempts to be a polite, grammatically correct, and contributing/upstanding forumite/neitizen.

You, sir, are a n00b.

I could have made it shorter using that word, right, but it did not come to mind then. :)

That problem has never occured to me, nor did I receive feedback saying it.

Feel free to use cheats without a pang of conscience. Make the transport invulnerable and you have fixed the problem....

I could do the same for you by giving you a version that makes the transport invulnerable after it was disabled. That would make no sense if I did it, since you can do it yourself using cheats.

I am sorry you have the problem, but I do not know how to do anything about it save what I wrote above.
