Hi, hope you can help me with a small problem.

As the subject states I'm a Rebel attached to the Vortex Squadron. My training level currently is 4,3,3,4. I've got enough xp to move up to Master training (2431244) except of course that you have to complete four missions assigned by your trainer first. (At least I think it is four missions. I've complete two thus far.)

I've attempted the third mission about a week ago with a team of two, but it failed when I hypered out of the sector to repair my ship. This week I thought I would hedge my bet by using more pilots; ended up with three ace's one tier IV 4,4,4,4 and me.

We got grouped up before I went to my trainer to get the mission. Old Brother Extok Evin gave me a tongue lashing for not completing the mission the first time and told me to get my sorry self up there and take out the Inquisitor before he reaches his destination. I'm apologetic, accept the mission and me and my rather impressive squadron head back to Lok space to do it right this time.

Here's where we ran into my problem. First part of the mission is to escort a freighter through enemy space. We do it with no problem and are then told to do another escort, and then another, and another. About this time my buddies are wondering what gives; I read the find print in my mission journal and discover that it is a DUTY MISSION.

When Bro Extok gave me the mission it sounded like he was assigning me THE mission and not a duty mission. It's not easy to get four or five high level pilots to drop what they're doing to take a mission for a lower rated pilot. They're willing to do it, but nobody needs duty missions.

I'mbackat Bro Extok's missionheadquarters and he's talking the same talk he did last time.

My question; can anyone tell me how to distinguish an offer for a duty mission, which I don't need and the real mission that moves me ever closer to my Master studies?

Is this a bug?

What's goin' on here?

Thanks everyone in advance for you advice.

I've had that happen. Cancel the mission and talk to him again. Make sure he gives you the real mission, not the duty mission. Repeat as necessary.
