Battle 4, Mission 6 - I'm stuck. Bug?

[MarshMPH]

I just revisited XWA for the first time in a few years, and I reached Battle 4, mission 6, where you must protect the imperial computer.

 

The problem happens when you enter the second mission area. The Bothan dreadnaught "waits" while the escape pod is transfered to the cruiser Independence. However, the SSD Executor blasts it to bits within a matter of seconds and fails the mission! I don't remember this problem when I played the game a few years back. Any ideas on what is going on? Other than attempting to destroy the Executor (which would be impossible I'd imagine) I don't see a way to go around this.

 

I re-checked to make sure I had the 2.02 update.

 

I'm stuck!

did you actually re-run the patch file? if you run the file and it actually does something instead of telling you the patch is installed, then it wasn't installed right. doesn't really matter if the game says 2.02.

 

Other than that, i would examine your strategy for the level and see if you can change your routine. perhaps utilize some of the squadron commands. I've found i can only beat certain levels by using them.

Don't destroy the ISDII in the first area. When it hypers into the second area, it gets in between the Mercury and the Executor, so the Executor cannot shoot cleanly at it.

I'll give that a shot.

 

I'm positive the patch was installed, I re-dl'd it and it said no update required.
