Bug I'm experiencing with the current version of XWA UCP v1.1 (CDROM version, not GOG); Battle 4 Mission 1, when the cargo ferries hyper from the storehouse into Vergesso, they consistently collide with each other on arrival, resulting in their destruction and mission failure.
Bug reproduced on three consecutive attempts; let me know if you guys want the film file.

We'll look into it, but if you could load the film it might be handy, thanks

I had the same bug during this mission, reproduced three times with the GOG version and XWAUCP 1.1.
And I also remember experiencing it several years ago with the CD-Rom version and an older version of XWAUCP or DSUCP.

Another confirmation here, Juno 2 (?) is being destroyed after jumping to Vergesso Asteroids. I'll look into this further tomorrow.

I think I've found the problem ????
Comparing Juno 2 ?? some of the arrival settings where different compared to the other cargo ferries, the Modular Conveyor and the three toscan fighters which had all the same settings, so I've changed Juno 2 so they are the same hopefully that will fix it.
I've uploaded a B4M1 with these changes, I've included 2 versions, 1b4m1fb.tie which is an altered original version of the mission and 1b4m1fb_Superbackdrops.tie which will have to be renamed and it self explanatory really![lachen :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
If some could test these and report back I would be really grateful, the sooner it's tested the sooner you get the craft packs![big grin :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Thankyou![big grin :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Tested the superbackdrops version, this time Juno 6 was destroyed. It happened while I was trying to drop off Aeron. ![slash :/](./images/smilies/icon_slash.gif)

Did you destroy all the supa fighters in that region first before trying to dock with the Vergesso Base? There are only 4 supa fighters and that's the only threat in that region.
Oh try to get to that region before all the Cargo ferries have arrived there.
As soon as Aeron's aboard the base the Liberty hyper buoy should appear, you just have to hyper too and aboard the Liberty to finish the mission.

I entered the system before all the ferries jumped there AND took care of the fighters before they even had a chance to take down any of the ships.

Huh? I still have an account here. Cool.
I notice in v1.2 this error occurs. I haven't tested the fix yet, but it may be wise to include it in the pack for v1.3.

Hmmm scratch that, looks like Juno 2 is still blowing itself up, or when Juno 6 hypers in. Can confirm it isn't being attacked but is committing unceremonious suicide.

Did you test the mission fix posted above?

Yes I did. It is the same one. Date Modified is 2/16/2015. The backup I made of the original is 2/20/2015 (I assume the date it was rolled into a craft pack version?

Just wondering if any movement on this or if I should figure out mission editing and dig in myself. Figured it'd be something silly and trivial causing this which someone who has all the tools could nip in the bud in no time at all, but if it isn't I can poke on through. My joystick grease is drying out wanting to get by this ![zwinkern ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Played it again. If you rush through the mission, kill everything, get where you need to at full thrustersand then board before all the ferries get it, you can generally win the mission before anything blows up.
If you straggle and kill everything first, things might blow up. Hmm.

I hate digging up old posts, but I also ran into this issue, and tried a few versions of the .tie file from DSUCP versions. However, for me it was the original .tie file from the CD that allowed this mission to be completed, albeit without superbackdrops.

This is happening due to the way they designed craft hyperspacing in. Short of changing the spacing in the FG (which still won't exactly fix the problem) the only sure fire way to fix this is to split the ferries into their own FGs.

Thanks but how do i fix the spacing or split the ferries?

You can split them using the Allied or YOGEME mission editors. Their waypoints would have to be adjusted as well to ensure that they don't crash into each other.

Ouch, sounds complicated, never did that before. I'm surprised not more people have this issue...maybe someone already did these things and has the files ready?
