Comment: Tried to get traitor status by damaging Hermes and Olympia, managed to get to 97 and 99 percent damage without triggering Traitor. Destroyed all turrets on hermes, even got the ship to 23% without triggering traitor. Had to destroy the Olympia to get the traitor debrief. Most if not all the bombers go for the Hermes, not the other ships. Tried to let the bombs through, but the AI is just too dang good! Hermes only gets to at most 23% OVERALL MISSION STATUS:Green

For me it was fine in Beta 11. I did nothing and three capital ships were heavily damaged at the first wave and the additional Hellcats were launched.

UPDATE Test Build: Hyperion (Beta 12)

Command briefing n/a Briefing fine Objectives fine Mission flow (beta 10) In each of two successive playthroughs on “easy” with me and Phalanx hiding, the Olympia took a hit that brought her down to 56% from the first wave of enemies; that triggered the early launch of other friendlies. The same enemy wing also took Hermes down to 49% before being destroyed. After that, things were pretty one sided, with the 8 active Hellcats preventing any further damage. Did two runs on “impossible”; first time the Hermes took two torpedoes from the first wave, second time the Olympia got hit instead; again, later waves were easily beaten off by 8 hellcats. Mission paths Mission can't be lost; dispatch of extra fighters happens as expected. Wingmen behavior Other fighters target enemy escorts rather than bombers, but I believe that's as expected here. Comms (text and voice) fixed in beta 12 Escort list entries fine Autopilot HUD n/a Autopilot sequence cameras n/a Traitor ending no mission-specific issues Debriefing fine Cutscene green n/a Campaign flow can always progress Tech room entries n/a Launch order script fine
