With regards to my question about the dreadnought.  Turns out there is a losing sequence
that I got caught in.  Apparently this mission is unwinnable.  Thanks to the various folks who
pointed that out to me.  I restarted the game and seem to be headed in the right direction.  It
looks like when you're in the Kilrathi system, make sure you kill EVERY single ship in the
first coupla missions, or whatever is left makes a jump and you get put into the losing sequence.
Of course, if I'da known this, I wouldn't have allowed any ships to escape.  I had to start from the
very beginning to get back on the winning track.

I'm currently in the Nebula mission where everything is real dark.  This mission is a challenge,
but I'll eventually get it licked.  One hint about this mission: make sure you point out the targets for
your wingman, or he / she will go right to the capital ships with enemy fighters, and will have to
eject too soon.  Believe me, you'll need your wingman this entire mission.

Well... You must successfully complete every mission from the
scientist rescue on.
