What is the name of the server you are trying to login to?
(Those missions simply are not on the SGO4 server - you must be trying to login to a different server.)

the only one that shows up on the list:

Are you running multiple OP installs?
I do have the original 3.4 files folder listed under a different name in the Taldren Software folder, so it's isolated that way
Are you running firewalls and anti-virus software?
I am- McAfee 9.0 doing both. Windows firewall is not running
What operating system are you running?
Win XP SP2

No prob- I hope this was helpful for the finished product  ;)  It'd be worthwhile that way at least

The copy of the installer at lycos is now finally uploaded. (lycos limits their ftp upload speeds - 50kbit/s vs prohostings 350kbit/s) I'll keep my eye out for any changes...

I just ran a patrol in 13,5 an isc hex of dv 8. I was flying hydran LB and got an AI wingman who was LYRAN, flying a DDX. We were up against a CLY and a little SNP or other small 1st gen warbird.

The mission selected was one on one, but as no live opposition, I was given this patrol.

Dax, that mission will trigger as a solo even tho it's a PvP mision. Just like EEK scripts are heavily focused towards PvP, they come up frequently as AI.

The Lyran AI is an enemy of your enemy, the ISC. The bottom line is the Lyran AI there had a mutual interest in working with you to kill the ISC. The ISC will get the same thing from time to time...

This will happen on this server. DV reports normally and the allies are dynamic. Ain't it fun?

All the missions I modified according to Dizzy's requests, I have plaved a _SG4_ in them to differentiate them between the rest of the missions. As was discovered, it is also necessary to change the internal mission name as well, so the serverkit also differentiates between them, This too is also being done.

C8VK with two real good AI help ( ROM new DN and BC+) were able to take an ISC Starbase ( the type with 4 R, 6 PPD etc.)
I note the ISC ships have Plas D and I torps.

Yes, but if you can currently login ok, it will make no difference, it just includes a few more optional missions for the server admins to choose from which may not be used anyway as a result of testing observations.. (minimal size increase)

Drone control of a ship, depends on the ship.  Some are 6 others are 12.

Only having 32 drones when you've only shot a couple may not be a new problem.  How many did you start with?  I believe the game will "eat" drones that are used to make an SP (launched or not) or placed in the rack (even if they aren't launched). 

Haven't seen a problem w/ variable drone costs for the same speed drone before.  New one on me.

This may have already been reported but  . . . .

I was flying Some Lyran CX ship.   It was a CA with 3 ESGs  (2 hardpoints).  Anywho . . .   I tried Klingon fighters thinking that they would not work as this ship should use PFs. 

Well the fighters worked and the PFs did not.
