I just started playing OP this week (dabbled a little with SFC 1)....and I'm loving every minute of it! Earth flies the Romulan banner, and the Lizards get it next!
But...there are a few missions that come up where I have questions...
1. On the mission where you are salvaging a freighter, other than evading the ion storms, is there any more to it besides tractoring a cargo box and pushing it off (after beaming out all the spare parts, of course)?
2. In the mission where you are investigating the repair dock, I can't seem to make anything happen. I enter the dock, I scan it, I've boarded it, I've tried to tractor it and drag it....nothing seems to work. What am I missing?
3. The monster that looks like a plumber's nightmare....what the heck is that?!
4. Does the campaign ever "end" (short of galactic conquest)...seems like my current character has been going for ages!
thanks in advance....and thanks for a great forum!

It's been a long time since I've done the single player game, so I'm afraid I'm a little fuzzy on your mission question. However, I'm fairly sure that I remember this mission is broken. You can just fly off the map and "win". The dock won't ever actually repair you. (Which is a real shame in D2 campaigns.)

1. don't remember that mission.
2. agree with scipio, that mission is broken
3. You are refering to a square cage? The monsters are never too "special" they are just ships outfitted with ONE specific weapon type. i.e. Space Shells are all disruptors, Sungliders are all phasers, Astrominer are loaded with plasmas... I believe the Living Cage is full of fusion beams... (interesting thought that just came to me... do any monsters use photons? or it is not magical enough for a monster?;))
4. I don't believe it does. SFC1 had "forced retirement" i.e. campaign end and it was not well received...

No, although you are supposed to Deep Scan the cargo boxes, then transport any spares you find, not push them (the cargo boxes) off the map.

That mission is indeed broken. I suggest you ignore it or remove it from the Scripts File.
3. The monster that looks like a plumber's nightmare....what the heck is that?!
The Living Cage. It uses Hellbores, not Fusion Beams. The Anti-matter Eater uses Fusion Beams.
4. Does the campaign ever "end" (short of galactic conquest)...seems like my current character has been going for ages!
Yes, but the game doesn't. You finish the last mission, it says "good job" and the game goes into conquest mode.
Are you playing the Pirate campaign or the ported EAW campaign? If you look around, you might still be able to find Nuclear Wessel's suped-up Conquest Mission packs. With everything installed you can play a stock Pirate campaign, the EAW campaigns (the main one as well as the Mirak side one), the stock Conquest campaign or a custom Conquest campaign. Or you can do like I did and make up your own .mct files, choose the best missions from all sources and increase the number of missions offered to customize your own game.

Thanks corbo for the correction

You can go over in to the Dyanverse 2 Enhancement sub forum in the Dyanverse 2 forum and download the lastest Enhancement Pack 3.2 as the EAW missions have been all ported over to OP and there are extra misssions as one mentioned.You must follow all instruction when installing it after download and it will take atleast 30 minutes to install or less.Anyway I would get if I were you.
