These kind of loose ends drive the user crazy and leave him hanging with no direction as to how to correct or avoid a crash.But require him to start the mission over from the beginning.

Please keep in mind I'm an Old Timer at SH3 and GreyWolves. And trying to actually help solve stuff, not just complain.

Other forum threads mention to always save your game before entering or leaving base. I do this and I think it is a good idea. It gives me a place to start over again if something doesn't go as planned or expected.

When you have orders to return to base be careful not to arrive at base too soon. It can mess up the games calendar of events.

I am trying to find information that might help you with the unknown icons you mention, my problem is that I am unable to reproduce this effect so far.
