Arrrgggghhh! This is really making me mad!
Ahem. Sorry about that.
I'm currently making a new plug-in, The Battle of Sol. It's going to have three different storylines that the player can follow. But then, I realized a drawback. What if sneaky people accepted all three recruitment missions before completing them? They'd get to play all three storylines! Can't have that, now can we?
So then I thought, Aha! I'll make each recruitment mission an auto-aborter, thus making it impossible for people to be sneaky and play all three plots. But when I tried it, you accept the mission just fine, but when you take off you can still see it in your missions log and it doesn't set/clear any bits! Can anyone think what I might have done wrong?

There is now a flag 'set bit on accept mission' which will accomplish what you want much better than auto-abort missions.
If I recall correctly, auto-aborts only work if you create a special ship at the same time, and only actually abort once you've taken off.
They also don't work at least some of the time on some systems.

Oh yeah! I'm using that flag elsewhere in my plug, but for some reason I didn't think to use it here! Thanks, Martin!
