Derelict - Killer Rabbit Question

OK, I'm playing Derelict. I'm in Killer Rabbit, and, basically, I'm stuck. The briefing says to use Cyclops missiles to destroy the depot, but when I go to weapon loadout, all I have available are hornets and tornadoes. I have tried resetting the ships and weapons, still, I don't get any other missile choices. Desperate (after having tried six times and failed to destroy everything before the turrets came back online and basically, I was exterminated), I used VPView to extract that mission and examine it in FRED, and lo and behold, I should be receiving Cyclops as an option. And Rockeye, and Tempest, etc.

When I reset, the Artemis, instead of getting Hornet, Cyclops#short, Cyclops#short, receives Hornet, Hornet, Hornet. I go into the mission simulator, try out the Terran Gauntlet, and sure enough, the Artemis still has its Cyclops' as standard equipment.

So, what can I do? I don't want to have to replay everything, just to discover that the same thing is happening then. I have tried hacking the .csg file to remove that particular mission (maybe replaying the last will free up some flag), but I don't know enough about it to successfully remove Cathegory 28, just the data inside it.

Sure, given that I failed the mission so many times (before I realized that I was playing against a stacked deck), I have the option of continuing on my merry way, but come on. Plus, now that I think about it, it might be that I had to fight my way through a few of the other missions without all the options I should have.

Thanks,

-D

This happens sometimes. It happened to me while I was playing orginal FS2 campaign.

I was on beginning and everything looked like perfect, but then I all missiles locked and I could use anyother missiles that Rockeye and Tempest and few others

Had to start over, when I came to "kill Ravana" mission... not fun at all

I thought that it was just a single Helios available for the Myrmidon.

Old thing, but it will fix if you restart campaign.

I think this appears when you put Mod and uninstall it later and play a sometime orginal campaign... It seems like it losts table registers. Not sure about this...

Happened when played Derlich and then played orginal FS2 campaign and deleted Derlich tables after some playing.
