TFTC Mission 2-4: Capture Enemies

So a couple of things about this mission.

First, what I believe is a bug, my wingmen target the objective shuttle and destroy it unless I order them to ignore it. I think they're supposed to focus it down with ion cannons, but they use lasers instead and kill it. Shift+I fixes this, since the attack transport never has trouble disabling the target, but it's bizarre to watch otherwise. If I disable the shuttle immediately, they still fly in and shoot it down while the transport is trying to board it.

Second, I can't beat this mission, even on easy difficulty. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but no matter what I do, Omega 1 is destroyed every time. As near as I can tell, the second squadron of friendlies (Tau) goes to hyperspace as soon as the boarding is complete, and all the enemy fighters immediately just start unloading concussion missiles at the transport from every angle. I'm able to shoot down 10-12 V-wing fighters, but there's just nothing I can do about the transport getting destroyed before it evacs. Open to any suggestions.

Oh thank god... I spent 2 hrs banging my head against that mission wondering what I was doing wrong... The patched file fixed it no problem.

Thank you!
