You might not be close enouf to planet. Must be under 5 away.
I ghope that gets it.  

P.S. If you are using the "auto orbit" from the helm menue it WILL make you orbit too far out for transport to work.

  I think if I can remember that mission is that you are suppose to drop off the Diplomat to the planet and leave the system or on the other hand target the planet transport the Diplomat down and wiat for order to transport back up.This is when your security officer tells you or science officer.It as been awhile since I played that so try it out one way or the other.You can always start the mission over agian and read what it says before clicking ready and jumping into the mission.

  I would suggest patching it up to 2036 if not done already.You would have do this on a clean install though if you haven't patch up already.What you would have to do is uninstall the game and delete the game folder and reinstall say no to both directx and gamespy or mplayer and then patch up to 2036 you can optian it at www.sfcx.org look for SFC2 click on it and DL what country you live in for North America use US version UK use UK version.

  I would get a copy of Orion Pirates though it is the more popular game right now you can get it at cdaccess.com I believe.There is a posting in D2 bye K Rolling help need copy of op look through that thread and look for Karnak reply.

 I hope all this helps  This is link www.cdaccess.com and do a search for it  just type in Orion Pirates I hope you enjoy it.

Once your diplomat beams down, an Organian and two ISC ships arrive in the system to "Pacify" you.  You should get about a minute before they actually start shooting.  So normally what I do is stay at either Condition Green or Yellow, until the ISC arrive, then go to Red as soon as they make their ultimatum.  It gets me to the planet faster, just remember to be within 5 to beam down the diplomat, you have to handle the orbit yourself, standard orbit isnt standard.

First, before patching i would copy Uni_7BattleGrave.scr and save it in a separate directory.

then I would DL and install patch 2036, then take the script you just copied and replace the one the patch put in.. for some reason, the patch bugges that mission..

then i would replace your desktop icon with a new shortcut pointing directly to the Starfleet2.exe game file to bypass the intro movies.. the intro movies bugg fighters and shuttles in game.

then in your mission as stated above, after beaming down the ambassador using your little transporter icon (not the Icon near the top right of your command console, but the lower left side of your console where your weapon status is located), 2 ISC and an Organian arrive.. I suggest crippling one ISC and capturing it, then destroying the other.. ou get Astounding Victory for doing this.. but make sure to use your Comms Channel and do dialogue with all the ships at the beginning  and middle of your mission (when approaching the planer, then again when the ISC arrive and make their Ultimatum.. contact all non ISC ships first to make alliance then contact the ISC then the Organian).. also make sure to beam your Diplomat back to the ship just after the ISC arrive, but before engaging them in combat.

Hope that this helps.
