Any one that can help me out here?


I finished 2/2/2/2 and am doing the 1st mission for Beissa out of jabba's palace.


#1 disable the smugglers frieghter and then destroy the valarian fighters.

Ok so i disabled the frieghter, but when shooting the valarians (red boxes) i get that annoying (not able to attack this target) beeping sound and can do no damage. No problem so I just stick it out for 10 min with the friegter and the mission finally ends successful, but then a 2nd mission starts and I have to kill 3 valarian ships that were sent to replace me. so I get up to them, but thier boxes are white and same thing I can do no damage and cannot initate combat so they just slowly fly away and then the mission fails because I took too long.


Whats up with this?? how an I supposed to destroy them if they are white box and I can do no damage to them?? stupid stupid game.

Its a known problem, the ships that were attacking you were someone elses mission targets. They are invulnerable because they are researved for that player to kill, or there group. The problem is they tend to attack anyone, just like a agro creature. The reason they are invulnerable so you know, is that during beta, the phase before public when it was at the a normal server population, was that people could Kill Steal Mission targets causing the player who had the mission to fail or succed in there mission. This is both exploitable and wrong because people wanted to fly there own mission without "help" from none group members.

i think you misunderstand, they are MY mission ships, no one elses, they spawned whaen I arrived at the waypoint. No one else is around.


the 1st part with the frieghter there are the frieghter, 3 red box valarians and at 3 min intervals 3 more valarians spawn but these are white box. so i have a total of 12 valarians circleing me shooting me and missleing me, but They do no damage to me as I do no damage to them.


After the 1st part of the mission is successful, they all dissapear, and I get a message that because I switched sides from valarian to Jabba, I have to destroy the 3 replacements lady valarian has found. 10 seconds later they spawn up about 3k away, and are 3 valarian ships, but these are white box only and not only can I not do damage, they won't even initate combat. they jsut slowly fly away until the mssion ends.


I have also tried getting help from my guildies, they are mostly rebel pilots and thet cannot do any damage or initiate combat either.

well finally got it figured out. Had my tier 4 rebel guild mate come and guess what, he had to destroy everything while i sat and watched. as I was unable to attack anything, but he could attack them all if he fired on them first. kinda dumb that it's my mission, yet i have to hire someone to do the whole thing.

I am runnin ginto the same prob.And, yes, they are my mission targets because they have the mission critical boxes around them as soon as they spawn. Having to "hire" someone to do my mission for me is the wrong awnser. I purchased the game so I could play it and not to watch someone else play it for me.
