Additional notes:

b) cap ship turrets,
c) fighters parked in carriers,
d) ejected pilots,
e) ground targets,
f) disabled tankers,
g) shield generator,
h) fault lines,
i) Kilrathi who dwelt on Kilrah.
Note that the Victory's killboard is relatively unstable.
2) Later presences of Sheffield, Coventry, and Ajax depend upon your
success in the earlier missions. If they were destroyed in the
early stages of the game, they would remain absent from the later
actions.
3) The number of waves of enemy fighters covering a cap ship may
depend upon how quickly you dispose of the mothership.
4) When escorting transports, you must be within 1 km and get id
confirmation before you can engage autopilot.
5) Destroy all ground targets in all planetary raids; otherwise, the
missions would be deemed as failures.
6) You must be within 10 km of Victory/Depot before you can request
for a landing clearance.
