Again, if you do get 'stuck', remember the help section on xeptatlssword.com will give clues to help you as we tried to anticipate most of the problems players might encounter.
Another point worth stressing is that (as in many mission OXPs) some parts must be completed 'properly' to allow the mission to continue. This time you will be OK, but generally I would strongly advise against using features/weapons/equipment provided by other OXPs as these may cause you to break elements of the mission, or even miss vital parts of the mission altogether.
Xeptatl's Sword was designed to be enjoyed by everybody, including those flying a standard ship with few or no other OXPs. If you have many other OXPs installed, that's fine, but try not to rely on them or their features while doing the mission.

I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Re: Xeptatl's Sword
Oops!
This is one reason I suggest keeping 'old' saves. It's good advice for any mission really. Keep the last two or three stages so you can go back if you need to, and sometimes a part of the mission is worth doing twice anyway especially if it is a spectacular part.
I will often name them where the save was made eg Commander Whatever-Oresrati so you know where the save was made. They are easy enough to delete from your 'saves' folder if it starts filling up.
If you do want to try to salvage something from this, PM me and we might be able to fix things

Re: Xeptatl's Sword
Ok, Commander... no, never mind, I prefere to walk through the mission again. I'm still on vacations, I have time. I will this time look more closely to that space wreck. and thanks for the advice, I'll save as you adviced me to.
Re: Xeptatl's Sword
Smivs do you ever intend to expand this OXP into another story? Some of the ships and organisations you have established in this OXP are amazing, I feel you could go on to create another story, maybe the Thargoids come back with a fleet of Annihilators? Maybe the Xeptatl society get too big for their boots and the Galactic Navy tries to do away with them, creating a civil war of some kind? Lol its your creation I don't want to interfere just would love to see some more OXPs set after this storyline...
