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 ;-) . These notes may at first glance seem to be applicable to older versions - for example, the original first mission involved a diplomatic escort, but the target ship started near Mars, not Earth. 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.
