Ok, I truly need some help with this thing. Apparently the mission is to grab a imperial from an Imperial shuttle that is being escorted by 2 tier 3 Tie Interceptors. The only problem is that when you leave the space station and head out to the mission waypoint you get attacked almost instantly by about 4-5 tier4 tinerceptors and 2 or 3 Tier 5 Tie Advances. Almost instant death when trying this alone. I onle suceeded 1 time geting to the shuttle, and couldn't even get the shuttle disabled before the 2 tier 3 interceptors and several tier 4 or 5 Tie Advanced hit me and destroy me.
I don't know of anyone else who has gotten past this part. Why the heck is id almost if not truly impossible to get through this thing?

I helped my friend do this mission. We got attacked by tier 4 interceptors, but not with any advances. Plus when we got the shuttle and escorted it out and got it away the mission wouldnt end. We just fought wave after wave of Tier 4 interceptors for like almost 2 hours straight. I seriously hope its a bug and the mission isnt really supposed to take that long.....

Well I certainly hope what you said is true about it being a bug. Although I am not sure how anyone can complete this mission. It is completely insane. Don't get me wrong, I think these things should be challenging, but they shouldn't be impossible, and this one seems close to it.
Anyone else out there go through this mission and have similar things happen? Anyone complete this mission yet?

Well, I made it through that mission without getting attacked by any non-misison npcs.
Though at mission 4 (i think it is) in Endor system no matter what way I got to my wp i either fly into a swarm of tier4 tie tie/in and tie/agr or a large group of tier 4 pirate fighters, Ive succeded in running from the ties once but then when arriving at my mission wp the pirates decided to travel 2km from their current position and harrass me instead:/

Yup. Took me 2 tries too. Reason being is cause the WP for the shuttle happened to be right at a static spawn sight of tier 3 and 4 TIEs. If you see a Tier 4 craft coming after you, it's a static spawn. They are not a part of the mission.
As for the second part where there was the continuous waves, it's not a bug. They're trying to stop you from reaching your rendezvous positon with a gunship. Use your boosters as needed to close the gap quickly, fight only when you have to. Get the gunship to spawn then as soon as you can, dock with it. The TIEs, in their attempt to get you, will aggro the gunship onto them and it will start providing cover fire (albeit not all that great). As soon as your docking is completed, the TIEs will stop spawning.
I think though there is one more part, where you have to cover the gunship's retreat, but that's easy. Just goto the waypoint that appears and destroy everything that comes after ya. Once the gunboat has made it's hyperspace calc and jumps (even though it actually will not be in the area) then your done. These spawns will come much slower and there are only a few.
Ultimately I did it on my own, so it is possible solo, but if your not that great at aiming/etc, then you may want to enlist some help.

Try jumping from one hyperspace point to another within the same system. You can still keep your wp without a mission failure and maybe you could get the NPC's to reset in another position out of your way. While i havent done this mission ive done smuggler teir 3 missions in the dath systemand never (knock on wood) ran into so many NPC problems.

this is the part that spawns wave after wave of fighters
basically you have to try to fight off the waves of fighters while trying to get to the wp to do whatever you need to do.
