2 Questions

First in the beginning of act 3 when I go to the ritz has anyone had a problem with being turned away? I know from the faq’s that when I return to base I’m supposed to get an apology, but I haven’t gotten one? Is this a scripting problem or am I doing something wrong?

Next: am I suck with the tug the entire game or can I get some kind of ship upgrade, I love the game but the same ole tug is booorrring.
and I would like to get a little more firepower, where should I look?

three questions haha….:P
