Excellent.
Tip for young players - Darius will pop up and mention that Flashpoint missions are now available and then go back to his wheeling and dealing and not bother telling you any more.
You need to go to the star map navigation screen and you will see any Flashpoint planets haloed in yellow/gold/orange, if you click on the planet it will give you a rundown of the Flashpoint mission that is on offer at that planet.
I have not taken a Flashpoint yet because I do not think I have enough men or materiel to be able to successfully complete one yet plus the cost of getting halfway across the map is a bit much for me at the moment while I concentrate on putting my small mercenary command in a solid financial position.
Good luck and good hunting.
