*Just after Rally Point Alpha, the player can use a [[Plasma Pistol]] to disable and steal Jun's [[Falcon]], holding position above a hill. The invisible "driver" of the Falcon will be ejected when it is upside down (an Assault Rifle will drop out of the cockpit). The player can then fly the Falcon around the level, but numerous invisible barriers will make travel difficult. If the player does not dismount before rescuing the Troopers, the player will be stuck inside the Falcon (the player wasn't supposed to exit the Falcon until it has reached the relay outpost). Because only an AI driver could bypass invisible barriers, the player must restart to proceed. Alternatively, they may continue until the dropships are assaulting the troops, and park the Falcon in the energy field in between the drop ship's prongs. Eventually, the ship will fly away, taking the Falcon with it. About five seconds after the dropship moves past the ruined bridge, the player is now past the invisible wall. They can then release themselves from the dropship and fly to the Relay Station by following the road, continuing the mission normally. However, it's possible to get past the invisible barriers while still in full control of the Falcon. The player must fly it into the forward section (inside the U) of a Spirit dropship and getting the Falcon somewhat locked into it, so that when the Spirit edventually flies away, it takes the Falcon (and thus the player) with it. The tricky part is keeping the Falcon still locked into the forward section while the Spirit often wabbles around and can sometimes shake the player off, forcing him/her to start over. When the Spirit hits the invisible barrier, still with the player's Falcon locked into it, the Falcon will be pushed through the barrier with the Spirit, although the player will take extreme damage (to the point of no health bars even left) from the pressure of breaking through the barrier, but will not die as the Falcon is fully indestructable. The Falcon at a point through the break-through may be dislodged and unsuccessful in getting past the barrier, but if successful, the player will be past the barrier and is now fully free to fly throughout the entire map without the fear of any more barriers. Do note that the entire map is extremely large end to end and transversing it may take a very long time, and it can be very easy to get lost if the player wants to fly back to where the game is suppossed to take place.
