All the secrets on the first mission are only available on Expert.  They are
all there and all register, though.  I believe all the ships secrets are
there on all difficulty settings.  They are hard to find and didn't all
register in the first release of the mission.  It was rereleased with some
of the bugs fixed but I have yet to play the second mission, so I can't
confirm whether they all register or not.

Max is quite right about the thrill of walking the spar.  It's a true thrill
on this particular ship! Thanks for the great review, as usual, Max!  I'll
send it on to the author.
