Thanks for the mission, Hamburgler! I did, however, find some problems: after running it for a while, I started getting some mean slowdowns. Though I didn't really crash, my game started stuttering pretty bad. Checked RAM, I still had a bunch left (6+ GB) so I'm not sure what's causing this. If I had to guess, I'd say the sheer number of objects start to weigh in on the simulation since when I brought up the mission log I had to wait for a progress bar to finish before I could peek through it, something I'd never seen before.
Could you elaborate on how the AI deploys enemy fighters? I felt like they just popped into existence out of thin air sometimes. Overall a great experience, thanks again!
