Well that answers that part of my prob. Thanks Darkstalker. Just curious, were you using only 1.56 or 1.57 when you replayed the story?

Well I'm not quite sure what to say but things seem to be working ok now. That's a tentative ok though. Before I tried re-installing FL again I thought I'd take one more shot at activating CF 1.56 and 1.57. This was using the d/loads of these mods that I already have.

And that's where things became interesting. Where usually the progress bar (upon activating the mod) of 1.56 zoomed up to about the 1/2 way mark and then crawled to completion, this time it made a nice, slow and steady progression all the way to completion. When I entered a new game, the biggest difference (and I don't know why I didn't remember this before) was that I had $150,000 starting money (in SP) whereas before I never had this starting money.

I've activated 1.57 and upon completion of mish 1, went through the custodian jump gates to X3043 without a hitch.

So.....the only thing that I can think of is that for some reason, the mod wasn't activating properly. Although it was giving me the ok, obviously all of the mod wasn't loaded or something. I dunno, but things seem to be fine now.

Will check MP later on the weekend and see how that fares. Just a thank you to all those that tried to help. All help was appreciated.
