Earth's Front Door v1.3

This is my second mission, and it's a bit more complex than Challenging the Prophets.  Keep in mind that this is a sequel; the story will make much more sense if you play Challenging the Prophets first.

This is a revised version, and thus has quite a few changes from the original.  Changes include:

- made distance between the capital ships larger
- made the enemy fighters much easier to destroy by making fewer waves
- Alpha wing icon changed to GTF Valkyrie in briefing
- Default primary weapons changed to Avenger/Prometheus for all GT fighters. Prometheus/Banshee combination is much too energy "hungry" when played on Hard making extended engagement impossible and has a poor or no impact on hull armor.
- Vishnu wing changed form Dragons to Scorpions
- Source for "It's too quiet..." and "I always wanted..." messages changed to Beta 2 and Alpha 2, respectively. Source for both of these in previous version was Alpha 2.
- Initial orders "Attack GTD Concordia" and "Attack Alpha" added for SC Herald making it more agile.
- Initial order "Attack Beta" added for Arjuna wing.
- Initial order for Tau wing changed to "Attack Rama". New events added to make Tau wing more agile and increase its chances of survival. Prior to these changes they would destroy SC Malice and Rama wing, doing nothing else afterwards and, eventually, being wiped out by Vishnu fighters.
- Some other minor changes to initial orders.
- Event "Sheffield in trouble" had wrong value (0) in "hits-left" expression. Changed to 25.
- Hot-key F7 assigned for Gamma and Delta wing. Changed to F7 for Gamma and F8 for Delta.
- Some new events added in order to produce on-screen directives and to make more "clever" some of the wings.
- And that's all, as far as I can remember.

To play, just unzip the mission to c:\FreeSpace\Data\Missions, go to the Tech room in the game, select Earth's Front Door v1.3, and hit commit!
