Okay all, this is a big bug that is affecting my JTL gameplay, and I hope some of you could help.
After I pass through the first two patrol points, I get attacked by two X-Wings. I am told to kill these X-Wings before I can complete the mission. One small problem though.
Both these are Tier 1 ships, and I can't do a lick of damage to either. Assuming I survive the assault, the two ships bugger out and I get a "mission incomplete" message. These are the only two X-Wings within 2k of me. I was able to target a X-Wing cadet, but he was over 4k away from me. If I'm supposed to go kill that guy, it dosen't make any sense. I'm getting shot at by two X-Wings that I can't touch, yet I'm supposed to travel 4k away to kill a cadet that is just sitting out in space?
I /bugged it and filed a CSR ticket, but he wasen't able to help me, just an apology that this bug was ruining my gameplay. Dosen't seem like too much comfort, seeing on how I need to complete this mission to advance on.
Is anyone else having the same problem, (If there is a thread about it, I apologize, as I just got on and didn't search for it) or is it just me? Would it be possible to take a different starting mission in another city, or am I just stuck?
If anyone has any insight, it would be most appreciated. Maybe I'm simply overlooking something easy that I'm doing wrong. Wouldn't be the first time.

I've done everything under the sun man. This was happening to me on launch day, and it carried over into yesterday.
I can see my shots landing. I know the shield is being hit, but yet everything stays at 100%.
I really don't get it. Everyone from my guild signed up for the same squadron, and most of them are 1/1/1/1 by now. Even my girlfriend is near her first skill, and she said those guys were easy as well.
I'm going to try flying my starter missions out of Bestine tomorrow and see if I get the same two X-Wings. I could always do freelance, but I love the Imp ships too much.
Ifthose starter missions end up the same way,then JTL is basically useless for me. 
/sigh

It's not that man, trust me.
These ships are taking absolutely no damage whatsoever.
I dogfight with them until the mission times out. I lead, I do absolutely everything. My shots are hitting.
But still, nada, nothing, not even a scratch.
I might as well shoot rocks out at them.

Do you hear a buzzing sound when your lasers hit the ships? If so then they aren't your spawn - keep looking.

Someone in my guild told me the same thing over TS, but I don't hear anything.
I actually tried flying out 4k to where that cadet was, but they disabled my engines and weapons before I could get within 1k of him.
Someone mentioned in a similar thread that it might be a old bug creeping up from beta, so I will montior that and see what happens.

Same exact thing happened to me man. I did the mission a total of 5 times failing each time by myself. Thought it was lag at first...but that didnt seem right.
A friend told me about the buzzing...but that wasnt it either. They were Tier 1 fighters spawning on my very first mission from Kaadara...and I couldnt put a dent into either. Not to mention they would waste me or I would just fail the mission for taking too long.
I did solve the problem though.....Get a friend who is at the same level as you to take the same mission. Group up with them and get into space. I had a friend with me and we were able to get past it. Then on the 2nd and 3rd missions this problem didnt happen. Its a weird one...almost made me uninstall I was that frustrated.

What I mean with leading the shots a bit further, is to hit the front of the ship..although it might look you can miss it. Have it a shot...or you're just having the nasty case of the ups and downs vuln bug

I think that might be it.
I triedstarting on Tat,and the enemies therewere still 100% invunerable bastids.
Short of a complete reinstall, I've done everything on my end.
BTW, to the guy that said try it with a person running the same mission.....unfortunately, everyone I know is already past that point.
