I am having trouble with the Imperial missions handed out at Yavin space station. More specifically, I am to escort a certain smuggler called Polard Manfred in his YT-1300. He is attacked by his former colleagues, but in spite of my valiant defence and the prompt death of all attackers, I fail. It just says I took too long time and the subject left the area. I have tried staying very close to Polard in case he would try to run away if not properly guarded. I have tried disabling and docking with mysterious, unarmed cruisers that accompany the attackers, retrieving encrypted messages. None of this works though. Anyone who would care to offer a hint or two?

I was having trouble with this mission too, but I completed it after I upgraded past the starter ship (I was curious how long I could keep using it) and after someone suggested just disabling the attacking ships. So I started just targetting their engines and just leaving them. The mission takes about 30 minutes to complete because of how slow the ship goes and the fact it has to get to the edge of the system boundry. Other then that I don't know what to tell you. Personally I hate escourt missions they take forever.

If I look at the "targets remaining" count the cruisers count towards this number. If this means I have to destroy 4 cruisers in that short time the mission is difficult indeed. I tried disabling all Y-wings but that did not help.

I did all of the yavin imp missions. I i remember right, u
have to disable the yt-1300 first, and then escort it to wherever. If
thats not the case, then i dont know wut the problem is. Or this could b a mission
after that. I dont remeber that much tho. It's been a while since ive done them.
You gotta give a thank for the TIE tank.

It is the escort mission. The problem is that even though I promptly kill all enemy fighters and the YT-1300 has not received a scratch, even though I stay very close to it all the time... when it reaches the end of its path I am told I took too long time to complete the mission and the escortee left the area. The only thing I can think of to do differently is to kill off the three or so cruisers that arrive with the fighters, but there is no way to kill them quickly enough being tier 3 and it doesn't make much sense. I guess I will have to bring a little armada and see if killing those cruisers help. Did You guys who completed the mission destroy 3 cruisers too (unarmed but durable).

The timer was bugged and is now fixed, so the mission works again. Thanks.
