In my discussions with Zafrusteria, that was certainly the intention. Perhaps after the issues raised have been addressed and confirmed fixed.

Thank you for the feedback,and good to know you had fun. Please ignore version 0.6 it still has errors in the mission text. :oops: I was not getting emails when posts are added to this thread. I should have checked first.
I have tweaked the number of bad guys. Any suggestions for more comms messages would be appreciated.
I'll fix the mission text and split them over two screens as necessary.

My eye caught a few typos and a random extra word.
Suggest you do a search through descriptions.plist and missiontext.plist for these and tweak.

squeek(ing) should be squeak(ing)
shew(s|kind) should be shrew(s|kind)
formular should be formula
cought should be caught

This one's only in missiontext.plist
\"release"; should be \""; (release, is a random extra word at end of a text after a quote.)
A new, new, version 0.7 with fixes to spellings (speelings :D ) in description and mission text. Also reworked the mission screens so they will fit on smaller screens or with bigger fonts.

Okay, now I'm getting there, Thanks Cholmondely for pointing out I need to quote the person so they get a notification.

I think I have fixed or changed all the errors typos, and annoyances but for the repetitive comms messages. I wanted to avoid having to force commanders to add the comms package oxp, as that would remove their choice.

The comms package is not that much used by other OXPs. I can't see very many people refusing to have it - just not wanting to have it yet because the game is still too complex and they need to master MFDs. By the time they are in G2 with 500 kills they will be well able to use it.

So if you think it adds to your OXP, jolly well include it!

Okay, I give up I'll add it :D. I'll be adding in a reference to the generic comms messages within those in the mission. Now I need to get back to being attacked to test it out.

New version with fixes for spelling mistakes in descriptions and mission text. Removed comms messages from bad guys as they were not varied enough.
I thought it might be possible to use the existing comms packs and death comms with those added by this oxp, but that was not the case. Oh well.
