act 3 mission 5

ok, i have read the act scenario, but am still not sure how to figure the patterns of the lights out. also, when docked to the transciever, i cannot turn my ship to see the station lights. the external views i choose don;t select it either. furthermore, i failed this mission the first time, escaped from the area, and redocked at my base. i then relaunced again, flew back, got the iff, and am trying the mission again. there might be a bug though, since docking with the transcievers is not triggering the dialogue where smith asks me to choose a color.

smart me, i have been making backup copies of my save game and storing them in a seperate folder, but still, i would rather not have to load an old one.

advice?

thanks again.
