In the final part of the final mission in the campaign Lightning Marshall 4, I've encountered a problem that makes the mission unwinnable sometimes:
After you destroy the enemy destroyer and a couple cruisers come through, when you destroy the Levianthan class cruiser it launches escape pods that are supposed to surrender and go to the Carthage's fighterbay. However, it seems the cruiser explodes too quickly and the escape pods get blown up in the blast too. So then the Carthage just sits there doing nothing.
Am I playing this mission wrong? Or is there some way to fix this?
FYI, I played the LM4 campaign that came with the 'patch inclusive' link in the first post of this link:
