Greets all! I'm doing one of the early Tier 2 missions from the Emperor's Retreat/Inquisition track. I chose the one where you escort ships out of the system for the Emperor. I've *litterally* been doing the mission for over two hours and after each ship that escapes comes ANOTHER waypoint with wave after wave of Rebels and then ANOTHER waypoint.

My question is: Does this mission ever end, if so any idea on how many ships I have to escort? Or is this one of those missions where they keep coming as long as I go to the waypoints but I can end it fairly any time by landing? I've been doing it too long now to risk losing and having to do it all again. Really I'm very frustrated, it's pretty ridiculous to expect us to play one mission for so long or lose.

Thanks for the help!!
