Last night I was unable to complete the tier 3 smuggler mission where you are supposed to rescue a Nym freighter from CorSec in the Lok system.
I go to the WP, meet with the freighter, dock & get it underway. A few CorSec ship show up, I kill a few, a few more show up. As I am fighting, all of the enemeny ships disappear all of the sudden. Then I escort the freighter for a VEEEEEEERRRRRRYYY LOOOONNNGGG TIIIIIMMME (like > 10 minutes). Finally I get message that says "Operation successful", 5000 credits and the freighter hyperspaces out.
Then I get a message that says "standby for updated freighter location". Go to the freighter, dock, get it under way, escort it for another eternity (like 10 minutes again, with no attacking ships appearing) and it hyperspaces out.
Then I get another message that says "standby for updated freight location" and the whole thing starts again! Argh. Finally, I had to just log out because it was getting late. Anyone experienced this?
The mission was given as a choice among several. I'm hoping I don't have to do this particular one to progress.

Um, is this a duty mission? I don't do the duty escorts much, but this sure sounds like one....
(And no you don't have to do these to advance)

The more difficult legs of each faction, Smuggler's Alliance for Privateer, Storm Squadron for Imperials, and I-don't-know for Rebels, have the longer escort missions.

I found smuggler's alliance missions to be relatively quick and easy compared to the Storm Squadron and other Imperial missions I helped out on.

I found the same to be true. I don't think any tree in JTL is as difficult as Storm Squadron. It's just insane.
