Wow, long ago I've played that gem.

About your problem: did you go through ALL the assigned waypoints?

Yeah, there's only 2 nav points in this mission the first one is the rendevous with the ship you have to escort and the other has a bunch of Kilrathi fighters near it so i always have to dart back to nav 2 then catch up to the ship, but i always have plenty of time before we reach the Tigers Claw.

I'm honestly stumped as to what to do, i've tried it a few times and the same thing happens.

easy way to mount all your Dos games directly to a point and click menu interface, try DOSShell by Loonies Software, you can google it.

True, and Norton Commander also does the job.

i've tried landing anyway but it treats me like i've failed the mission.

Any and all help is welcome as i love this game and am fresh out of ideas myself.
This is a quite late answer, but maybe it is still an interesting solution for some people having the same problem:

On your approach back, when the Tiger's Claw comes into range, hail her and ask for permission to land. Once you have received positive answer, do not land, but turn around and head towards the drayman, until the autopilot is available again. Engage the autopilot and you'll find that you directly land after the cutscene. Col. Halcyon should be happy during debriefing now.

Anybody ever play the Amiga version of this game? I played it on a stock 1- meg Amiga 500 with one drive. Talk about slow!

The DOS version is so much faster, and better looking. (The Amiga version only has 16 colors compared to the DOS version' 256 colors.)

This was another of my favorite DOS games from back in the day. With the cutscenes it was like an interactive movie. Still play it now and still love it.

I remember buying one meg of ram for a few hundred dollars back in the day, so I could get the four needed to run the thing. The things you do when you are young lol! But back then it was worth it. One of my all time favs.

It did actually run with 640KB only. You didn't see any faces in the comm and the hand with the joystick wasn't shown. However, to get a reasonable speed at least 2 MB extended RAM were obligatory.

FOUR megs of RAM on a 286? Wow!
