I know that I do not have ranked units in all "no-base" missions. I started one of them with ranked units. Failed, restarted, no more ranked units. I beat that anyway, not a big deal.
Now I have big trouble in that mission. The first time I've build my base without problems. I restarted the game and I got the problem. So I load the "autosave" but still have this issue. When the MCV arrive I have no money, also I should find a money crate near the "Arc" but there is nothing. In the first game I found the crate.
