How hard is it to make a working product?
If I am supposed to take part in a "space batle" It's not much of a battle if I am the only one fighting on my side.
While the ships sent to "HELP" me just sit in a neat line and do nothing
WT- (Gotta keep the language clean cause SOE is sick ofg getting cussed at) is SOE smoking that this is an acceptable glitch?

What i do is once the Enemy spawns i pull back and let the AI engage. Then i join in, it doesnt work all the time, but sometimes it does.

when has this happened to you? everytime i fly through a friendly NPC spawn they always zoom in and assist me. there is even a storm squad mission where 6 interceptors help you take out 10 fighters and a nova and i always let the interceptors engage before opening up.
of course they may like me because i actually go overt in space.

I am doing my tier two missions in Lokian space and often I get assistance from NPC Alliance ships in the vicinity. I do not expect them to help, nor do I depend on their help, but it is a nice bonus when they do

It also doesn't work and RSF Tier 3 Mission 2 there a part where you have to go to corllia and destroy a few ships a (few diffrent types of blacksun fighters i think and a YT-1300). There are 3 ships that are ment to help you (Firespray and 2 Headhunters) you get a message saying engaiging fighters but the ailled ships just sit there

Also a smuggler's alliance mission where the yt and other ships just sit there and dont help. However I had an imp friend and another neutral help me and get this...
He uses the bomber strike and it hit everyone INCLUDING the ships that just sat there not helping. So We had to fight our normal 9 teir 3-5 enemies PLUS his bombers PLUS OUR escorts.
I have no idea how we lived. I had my armor wiped out lol.
2nd time for my friends mission we just flew in and both epulse2 which wiped out the lower ones so we could target the 5s and disable them.

the teir three missions you dont need the fighters they send to help i was more efective in a y-wing at teir 2 than any of the x-wings that help you in teir 3 the ai helping is just s jesture to make it a bit more realistic looking were on the teir 3 and above missions they want you to group with your freinds and take the stuff down even if it is posible to solo.
