Well, that sort-of balances out, really - the now-useless tractor beam is compensated for by the increased flexibility of the escort fleet!

Is there any more to the rebel munitions string?

I'd also like to know this, it's been going on for ages, and I don't even get assigned a mission every time i go to the bar sometimes it takes several attempts and it's a bit tedious to say the least.

I still think destroying the cruiser was easy, you don't need to worry about escorts or anything, just avoid the fighters and lock the torp's on to the cruiser and fire. Easy peasy... Gotta agree the climax to the Artemis string is awesome, now that was a tough mission!

I think I've done the "deliver munitions" thing half a dozen times now, and yes, it is getting rather repetitive.

I found the end of the Artemis mission string significantly less challenging than the alien cruiser. I didn't have to completely refit my Kestrel, for a start!

I must have delivered 20 lots of munitions at least now and they still come, slowly but surely!
I bumped into a random Alien fighter in one of the rebel systems near the top of the map, which took me (and my shields) by suprise, almost finished me off as I couldn't get away from i so had to jump with it zapping me constantly.

So anyone, the munitions? someone must know!

As I recall (which could be wrong, I only played as the Rebels once, like 11 years ago), that's just a repeating mission, it never goes anywhere.

i think everybody knows that the only way to kill aliens is to hire Ripley.
