I'm really started to get annoyed by this, about 5 rebel missions so far I've failed because there is no explanation on how to complete them. Here are the missions I've tried repeatedly over and over again to try and do.
Brother V[somethingoroter] Tier 2 missions - He tells me to go to the Yavin system to meet up with a scientist and give him some data. I go to the waypoint and he comes out saying that he was being shot at in the dock by Tie fighters. So then three tie fighters attack, I blew two up and then three more appear. I blew up four of them and three more appeared. They would just not stop coming. Then after about 10+ minutes of non-stop fighting Tie fighters I got a message saying; MISSION FAILED: We have lost contact with the scientist! Then I went back to the rebel base and the trainer said that he was a traitor. So I thought that this time I would be able to complete the mission, but it was the opposite - the same thing happened again.
I'm really stuck on that, I'm also having another problem. I want to use the starport hidden in the abandoned rebel base, but I have to do the mission for the space station guy in the dantooine system. He told me to go and protect his freighters, so I blew up the Tie fighters and then the freighter disappeared. Then it said; MISSION FAILED : You did not get the freighter back to the station. So I went back and started again, this time I took the freighters sheilds down and it started to head back to the space station. On the way I blew up quite alot of tie fighters and then we arrived at the station. It said; MISSION COMPLETE : Get the freighter back to the space station. Then another mission automattically appears - the same thing happens if you fail. More missions appear. So I just quit the mission because I thought I could just go to the station and head straight to the base. I was wrong. He said "You let the imperials take my freighter [blah crap blah yackity smackety]"
So now I'm very confused on how to do these and I'm very annoyed at SoE for not even putting in the time to tell us how to at least try to get past these missions. If anyone would give me help it would be great. Thanks.

Ok, I'm not to familiar with the rebel missions, but thier are several types you have to look for:
Destroy mission: just that destroy everything
Capture mission: Disable the target craft, via targeting thier engines, then fly to within 100m of the target. The mission then turns into an escort mission
Docking mission: For some reason or another you have to meet up with a craft and get or give something to them. This requires that you dock with them. '/dock'
Escort Mission: You are to escort a craft, most likely some freghter, to a destination. You have to stay close to your craft that you are protecting or they will bug out.
Patroll: Just fly the waypoints and kill anything red that gets in your way.
Duty Mission: Usually a destroy mission or escort mission, but this will keep on going. Yes it will eventually end (not for a while)and gives you a fairly good payout if you finish the entire thing.
*The higher you go in the tiers the more complicated the missions are and the longer the mission are. They will also combine the missions.

For that particular mission while you are blowing up the fighters try to stay ~1000km of the dude you are escorting. If you get to far out you'll see a message saying "You're too far out, close in" and so you should go to full throttle and get closer to his craft. Kill the tie-fighters on that one, but they aren't too dangerous to your guy make sure you kill quickly any bombers or tie interceptors that spawn as attack craft.

Also, keep an eye on your journal. It usualy gives you updated information while on a mission.

The problem is you didn't listen (aka READ) what was said to you by the scientist. Somewhere in there he asks you to escort him. If you lose contact with him you are no longer escorting and thus you lose the mission. All of the missions are explained as such.

For the mission which gave out by the Dantooine Space station is not escort the freighter but to take it back. Yes, disable the freighter, fly close to it, the freigher will be taken back automatically. After that escort it back to the station.
