Mission 4 Fighting alone

[Cathnan]

Hi, I played mission 4 a few days ago, and am not sure it went as intended. I did ultimately succeed, but I splashed all 4 Migs on my own. And that only after first trying running for them. Matrix did not even offer to assist. I'm not sure what is supposed to happen here. Did it actually go as planned? Did I fly a path that lead to me not activating triggers and so on. That's why I'm not posting in the bug section.

I did go high and rather fast after signal RTB. My guess is that I've overflown a triggerzone. My Tacview of the flight is attached.

P.s. Are the Migs unarmed? Was already surprised during the flight and even more after watching the Tacview that I didn't get shot down.

Hi, thanks for the Tacview, I will take a look.

Spoiler

The intention of the mission as explained in the comms is to get in there and escape, not to engage. That is really the challenge and to create a bit of tension with the pursuit. What should happen is that if you fail to do this you are overwhelmed by the Migs and die. So I need to change things so that happens. The fact they did not fire is wrong. Will start looking into it. 

EDIT: Just watched the Tacview. I see you could have got away but chose to fight. Also noted the poor response from the Migs. What I need to do is increase the difficulty such that if you stay and fight it is almost impossible to survive.    

EDIT: have now adjusted things will be in next update.

Yes, I could probably have returned to the carrier without fighting them. I chose to attack because I thought, "I didn't hear anything about the Mig's and am already at waypoint 2. I must have  missed a trigger". That's on me though
