Summary	0001694: Invalid mission file causes game to crash
Description	If FS2_Open isn't able to verify all of the required_strings in parse_mission_info, an Error is thrown and the game basically crashes. This is a little absurd, although the user should probably still be told what's going on and why the mission doesn't appear. Possibly a good use for taylor's in-game error system. Alternatively, some kind of icon or strikethrough notification of corrupt mission files?
