Another thing I've noticed is that the MC80 Star Cruiser Maria is a MC80 Reef Home Star Cruiser (R/CRS) in the missions extracted from DSUCP v2.5, whereas it's a MC80 Liberty Star Cruiser (L/CRS) in Tour of Duty in Multi. I personally agree with the latter, because it's a Liberty type according to Wookieepedia too.

In Empire at War the cruisers Liberty and Maria have the same opt, and Empire at War (2006) is a later source than X-Wing Alliance (1999), therefore when it comes to classify crafts it "should" be a more reliable one.
Of course this is only valid for the Legends continuity.
In the Canon universe the MC80 Star Cruiser Maria has never been identified yet.

This patch adds functionality to the skirmish menu that enables access to an entirely separate mission folder and associated .lst file similar to the default ones, but in an entirely different folder. This is how you utilize the multiplayer missions and add new ones to the menu. That said, that don't even need to be multiplayer missions either.

Theoretically allowing you to group and have infinite campaigns.

Imagine having X-wing, TIE fighter, XvT, and Xwa all in one game engine and install. It's entirely possible using this mod and file structure.

And if you mess something up it doesn't affect the base campaign.

This is really awesome!
One of the projects I'm planning to do is an update to Waylon's X-Wing Alliance Mod to make all those missions look more X-Wing Alliance style.
Having the whole X-Wing Series in 1 upgraded game will soon be reality.

Well, in the most optimistic case it won't be ready until late 2019. :D

I have posted a new topic for this. The patch is now a dll hook.
