I've been trying to finish the mission so I can land at the Emperors Retreat and have now come to the conclusion that it is bugged. The mission is to patrol near this waypoint and destroy all rebel ships but the problem is the rebel ships just don't stop spawning so there is actually no way of finishing this mission.
I was just there for nearly an hour and 35 minutes killing rebels and the spawns just wouldn't stop it was one after the other after the other after the other, constantly. I killed a total of 37 ships before I was finally finished off and they weren't easy for me with my standard Tie Fighter.
I've only had JTL for 3 days and if this is all I have to look forward to then I will be really dissapointed. This mission sux, big time!

It's not bugged. I've been playing for a couple of weeks now and completed the mission early on. I would suggest either getting help to take out the swarm or shoot to disable fighters rather than kill them during the mission to buy yourself some time before the next respawn to regen your shields and move closer to the next waypoint. Unless it's become bugged within the last two weeks I can tell you that it works. I've been landing at the retreat since I completed the mission.

I think i know why. You are doing the Duty Mission from the space staion. Not the actual Emp retreat mission. Duty missions will go on forever. You need to be in the Imperial Inquistion Squadron to be able to do the Emp retreat mission and land there.

No it's not duty mission but thanks for the ideas. I get the mission from the naboo space station and have to kill 4 rebels in the system then goto yavin and patrol the waypoint given, trouble is I never get to the waypoint. I get aggro'd well before the wp which is constant, 2 ships spawn together but as soon as I kill 1 ship another 2 spawn then when I kill 2 of the remaining 3 ships another 2 spawn and so it begins.
I can't outrun them to get to the waypoint because they spawn on my tail and instantly aggro me, so my only way out is to die since I can't get away or finish them all off.
I'm not sure how this mission is supposed to go but it's a bit much.

Well then the mission isn't bugged is it? Its simply you get entangled by a static spawn point.
Try reaching the WP from a different hyperspace point.

it took you 37mins to take out 35 fighters thats like a minture per fighter.

I like your idea better Theoden, I never thought of that lol.
The reason I said it was bugged is because I thought it was part of the mission, even though a constant respawn can't be right. Kinda reminds me of looting meatlumps outside coronet, nothing new there then lol.

No, an hour and 35 roughly.
I finally finished the mission thanks to the idea posted above (and upgrading my ship), leave em disabled so I can get passed. Well this worked upto a point but I had loads of disabled fighters everywhere lol. I eventually got close enough to the wp and completed it, thank god! ![]()
