This mission seems to stay stuck once you destroy the NTF transports and prevent them from stealing the cargo. The corvette just sits there and after fighting an almost endless wave of fighters, nothing happens. If I leave earlier, I get a mission failure stating having to do the whole thing again. 

[TrashMan]

mission 2 you say? Hold on, let me check.

[TrashMan]

The Zhidov departs once all of the cargo has either been stolen (departed) or destroyed.

To make sure it's destroyed, the Zhidov is automaticly ordered to destroy the cargo if the freighter that's supposed to steal it is destroyed. IIRC there's also a wing that's supposed to destroy it.

The mission ran fine for me, but for you some cargo piece obviously survived...and I don't know how. Try the mission again.
you can always try destroying the cargo yourself. 

[MarsNeedsWomen]

Hmm... so maybe I'll just let the cargo get stolen. Well I tried destroying it myself, the friendly AI turned on me. 

[TrashMan]

Doesn't the Zhidov fire at it?

[MarsNeedsWomen]

Nope. But in any case I allowed the cargo to be taken and I was able to move on.

[Mobius]

I had the same problem.

I thought it happened because of OTT: in order to view the models with PCS I placed them in data/models. There's a cargo model with the same name of a regular FS2 Terran cargo. The OTT cargo replaced the other...that's what I thought my problem with the mission was.

[TrashMan]

Nope. But in any case I allowed the cargo to be taken and I was able to move on.

The SEXP didn't trigger for you for some reason apparently.
Well, at least you can continue now

Now I'm at the mission where you escort the Hecate, a cruiser, and a vasudan corvette. I don't seem to be able to save the cruiser or corvette, nor the hecate when the ravana attacks. How can I beat this mission?

[TrashMan]

The nebula mission? The Delacroix is supposed to die.

Just don't let it die before the Ravana shows up and you're good.

[MarsNeedsWomen]

Well what I know it's supposed to die when the Ravana shows up, but are the other ships supposed to die? Cause it seems I get a mission failure when they die.  Also the Furron doesn't seem to get destroyed.   

[TrashMan]

Furron? I don't recall no ship named furron.

That mission is a difficult one. I havn't FREDed it, but I did make a lot of correction because it was utterly brutal at first.

IIRC, at least one corvette must survive.
