I took on one of the Tier 2 Smuggler's Alliance missions last night where you have to hijack a freighter, capture it and escort it out.
What I noticed was that, after destroying it's TIE escort and capturing it, the TIEs that spawned afterwards would attack the freighter but did not automatically spawn in as red dots to me (despite the nonsense they shouted at me about pirating not paying!) Sure they went aggro after I shoved a blaster bolt up their behinds but shouldn't they have been aggro to me as soon as they turned up? Is there a cogent reason they only aggro to the freighter and leave me alone (until I start attacking) or is this a bug?
Incidentally, how long does that mission last? It seems to go on forever!

Not sure about your other questions, but on how long the mission lasts....
The freighter has to repair itself and jump out of the system... the more damage you do to it while trying to disable it, the longer it takes to repair and jump out of the system.

About 4-5 waves of fighters if I remember correctly, hang in there, it is solable, just disable them don't destroy.

Do you need to take out it's engines or just dock with it? I didn't think I damaged it more than I needed to before capturing it. Mind you, I got jumped by pirates and head to deal with them while two waves of TIEs attacked the freighter doing a lot more damage so maybe that was it.
Incidentally, I had to leave the mission before the freighter jumped but still got a mission success message. I guess I just didn't get credits for not sticking around for the full escort.
