Mine is that when ship are travelling in subspace they have to "Fly" to an exit point to get back into normal space.  In Good Luck (the only canon subspace mission) the Lucifer doesn't move at all but just sits there waiting to escape subspace.

Dozens. Misspellings, ridiculous use of the wave function, poor quality mission design etc. etc. But these are all big issues I guess - If we're talking little trivial things, I hate when the briefing is done poorly. I mean, is it really so hard to make sure you align your grids before saving the view? Or ensure all the ships are labelled correctly, and when you click on them, you get the right class of ship spinning in the little box? It's so simple to do well, yet people so often screw it up.

I'm gonna have to go look again...but I could sworn the Lucy was cruisin' along at 15m/s

Do what you said.

Directive text (see: lack of) sucks ass.

Mission critical ships not appearing on the escort list.

no Voice Acting or new music... i know its not trivial but hey

[Goober5000]

Misspellings and bad grammar. It breaks up the flow of the mission because I have to stop for a moment, mentally correct the error and then continue on.  If I have to do this a few times it really kills the immersion.

Missing departure directive text gets on my tits. I'm looking at you Blaise Russel.

[Blaise Russel]

I do departure directive texts. No idea what you're talking about.

Every time I encounter briefings with repetitions over repetitions, I get the impression that the lots of talk is included to fix the lack of mission content. It's a mission briefing, straight to the point, nothing else.

Worst case scenario : repetetive briefing with spelling and grammar errors.

being able to fly the mara.  I hate it when people don't do proper team loadouts.  hell it takes all of 8 seconds and is probably the most overlooked thing in existence.

[NGTM-1R]

Total lack of directive text doesn't bother me so much...but when you only get directives for three or four of the wings that enter the mission, and there are ten or so...

Earlier missions in Homesick were missing directive text. I was only being half serious tho.

'Systems' with 2 jump nodes convienently 3k away from each other, on a 2D plane and there is no other stellar traffic around (they would be a great place to tax if anything).
Oh yes, just the general whole 2D thing with many missions, I used to do it (probably still do-goes to check mission, and try to finish it).

[Blaise Russel]

No. Having just checked them, they all have 'Depart' directives, generally in an event called 'DirDepart' - unless they're red-alerts, in which case they don't count. While severely flawed, directive omission is not one of Homesick's failings.

So apologise for your filthy act of libel, you dirty evil slanderer, you.

You know, people can do something to fix bugs/add ships to escort list etc., but some of us can do almost nothing to make grammar/spelling correct. Easy for you to blame people for bad grammar and poor spelling.
People on this board tend to forget that English is not the native language of all human beings.

[Goober5000]

I'm not singling anyone out.  Some of the most egregious spelling and grammar mistakes are made by those who speak English.

I'd have to second this. You can be playing a really great mission, and have to pause and go into the message log every time something new comes up, in order to decipher what is being said. Very annoying.

Also, newbie campaigns which manage to incorporate every possible FS cliche (OMG! Teh Shivans have joined up with HOL and Admiral Bosch to destroy us all!!!!111). They're a complete waste of time to play...
