IIRC, it has more than one losing outcome... you can botch badly early on and get sent home in disgrace.

It depends on how you set them up in FRED. Some of them probably are scripted. Others probably just seemed that way because of the long charging cycle of the beam weapons. There are a couple of different ways to set up a beam firing sequence using the editor.

GeeBot, would you please read the first part of that statment before you start trying to twist facts. We only see Confed in crisis situations. Number one, Prophecy can be discounted to a fair extent as we neither started that war nor had much to do with it beyond defending ourselves and our...
