I finally passed the Oxford missions, and went on to the Palan missions.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned this. One problem I noticed is that the locations of the missions are wrong. The first and second Palan missions in the original were around the jump to tingerhoff, not in the orbit of the planet, Palan. Murphy says we are intercepting them before they join the blockade. Only the third mission, where we are actually taking on the blockade, should be in the orbit around Palan.
Also, I landed on the planet right after finishing the third mission, and Dr. Monkhouse wasn't there. I had to go back to basra, then back to Palan to pick him up. In the original, as soon as the blockade is broken, I was able to meet him and take him to basra. I didn't have to get the final payment from Murphy before meeting the doctor on Palan.
I got tired to dying so many times on the first Palan mission, I decided to look at the units.csv file. In units.csv, I noticed demon.template has Autotracking on all of the weapon mounts. I removed autotracking from all of the mounts for the demon.template and it made the missions a lot easier. I guess that means that all of the demons have autotracking guns? No wonder the Palan mission was so tough.
