This 'walkthrough' is specific to v2.09. The v2.09 patch re-scripted the ACM in earlier versions. The original allegedly had 25 missions, but I don't think many people got past the second one ;-) .

Battlecruiser Millennium has another very similar set of missions, but subtle differences to areas like ship and artifact availability mean that the strategies presented below may be inappropriate.
