I'm getting the wrong mission in Secret Ops

3dfx

Petty Officer
I killed the escaping ships in mission A1 and I did A1a and passed it. This should have gotten me to A2a Courage - Straight On Out but instead I got A2b Courage - Long Way Out when I immediatedly went for the next mission.

However when I look at Flight History I see:

Courage 29.1 The Capricious Carrier (77%) Green
Courage 80.2 Scramble Ambush (84%) Green
Courage 40.6 Straight On Out --- (Grey not flown yet)
Courage 66.2 The Long Way Out --- ((Grey not flown yet)


I can select both Straight On Out and The long Way Out. Why is this and what does 29.1 for example mean?
 
Secret Ops' flight history lets you go back and play both versions of the missions once they're unlocked... but I'm not sure why it wouldn't send you to the right one initially! You also need to destroy 75% of the total enemy force in the mission, maybe that came up short? But it might just be a glitch.

The mission numbers are in-universe to indicate the passage of time... but they don't really correspond to anything (like a stardate in Star Trek).
 
I made a new pilot and this time I got the A2a mission but the A2b is now "missing" from history. I thought the 75% was bonus only, it's listed as such. Isn't the primary objective enough for the mission to count?
