I think you have to destroy all fighters (the Valkyries) and then you get told to disengage. At the jump hole there is a little good-bye scene and when this is over the jumphole starts to work.

I guess if one of the speakers (Lord Hakkera, and another one IIRC) cannot make their speech for any reason - because they did not make it through the battle, or because your sound codecs are messed up - then jumphole won't get activated.

"Access denied" from a supposedly natural phenomenon like a jumphole, my ass. "Docking not allowed" from a friendly jumpgate or tradelane ring just because an NPC is reading something from a script, when you can normally dock even with maximum hostile ones ... These things are absolute immersion breakers, and very annoying to boot.

I wouldn't mind so much if the game did this only the first time around but it happens every time. Keeping a 'speech heard'/'cutscene watched' flag for every speech and cutscene in the campaign would require about a couple dozen bytes at most; during subsequent passes the speeches could be treated like the other background chatter and cutscenes aborted via escape like that chats with NPCs in bars. But no ...

Finnish the objective before trying.

If I had a nickel for every time someone told me that my idea for melting down coins to make a giant robotic parrot was a bad idea, I would have one kicka$$ giant robotic parrot.

The sequence of events during that portion of the mission is as follows:
- you engage the Rhineland fleet
- as soon as all of the Valkyries are destroyed you are told to make a run for the New Berlin jumphole
- Cobo and Lord Hakkera make their speeches during the flight to the jumphole
- when both of them are done speaking you are given the objective to dock with the jumphole, and the jumphole starts working

As I said in my earlier post, the jumphole will not be activated unless all Rhineland fighters are destroyed and both Cobo and Lord Hakkera complete their speeches. The jumphole will remain locked if you retreat from battle before you are told to do so, and it will also remain locked if Cobo or Lord Hakkera cannot make their speeches because they are dead (or because your sound system does not work properly).
