I did good in beta....not a problem hitting the ships. I can't seem to damage them today though....first time on live. The ships spawn at my waypoint 3 tie fighters...shooting me....but I cant hit them. Anyone else having this problem? Maybe it is a bandwidth problem for me...espcially on a friday night.

Still having this problem. I was told in game it was another person's mission and that was why i could not blow up the ships. I was hitting a tie bomber that had shields, but the sheilds did not fall below 100 ever..no matter how many times i hit it. Anyone else having this problem? And if it is someone elses mission...how do I tell which one is mine?

Same thing for me - if I attack Tie's that aren't part of my mission I don't seem to be able to damage them and no combat music starts.


I was in beta and could attack them before, though I did not play beta for the last few days so I guess this was a late change to stop griefing and not a bug as I can still destroy TIE's that are part of my mission...


I can also destroy some apparent random spawns, but there seems to be no way to tell what you can destroy and what you can't... If this is intended behaviour I would prefer if the target enemy option would not target things I cannot destroy.

Listen to the sound if you shoot a NPC. If there is a "meep", like in Talk shows if someone use a 4 letter word, it is someone elses mission target.

Mission targets are only vulnerable to the mission owner and their group members.

This system was put in place to keep other players from Kill Stealing

Yes, And if your after a ship you wanna blow up and some guy shoots it first, in some cases you wont be able to shoot that target

I can confirm that. Someone must have shot my mission target first and I couldnt damage the ship even though it was my mission. I spent 10 minutes hoping its sheilds would go down before it flew away causing my mission to fail.

Is there really a noise? or is there a "light" at one wp I am missing? 4 days of continually doing the first mission in this starter mission is getting old. I can hang with 7 tie fighters and 3 bombers for a LONG time. If I could just damage one it would be nice.
