How often did you see missiles in the series? There's your answer

The thunderbolts has a few but virtually all combat was with primaries

There is one EA missile weapon, Venom, but it wasn't in use during EA-Minbari war... Some user-made missions haves Venom missiles on bayload

Hey Rose, how to get your Janus campaign to work? I've copied this .vp file in the freespace main directory, but i can only play the original tbp-missions

Thats the dark side of .vp files...

If there is any other .tbl files in data\ folder, they'll overwrite .vp files .tbl files.

You need to take ship.tbl and weapons.tbl (at least) from data\ and move 'em some temporatory location, but not in anywhere data\ folder... This should fix the problem, need to put that on FAQ section.

Did you left .vp file in right place?

If .vp file is on right place, I suggest you extract Ship and weapons tables from .vp to Data\tables\ folder (you can also just put 'em Data\ folder works that way also and overwrite orginals)...
