i have been getting anoyed by all these escort mission so i figured i would try some different tactics.

my first idea was to hide under the ship im suppost to be escorting and for some reson it dosnt blow up it stops takeing damage when its shields and amour reach 50%.

my second idea was to just type /follow but you take damage and have a big chance to blow up.

but i noticed something wierd. after 15 mins in an escort mission if you DONT kill any of the attacking ships they dissapear after 15 mins. this has worked on all the escort missions. could someone else test this out to see if it works.

Don't Die of Boredom. That's really an uninteresting way to go.

Just like an escort mission!

Maybe they shoud set the timers on escort missions dynamically. Make the time between waves some fraction of the ammount of time you spent blowing up each wave, or something. Something that will keep me from reading forum posts on one computer while waiting for the next group of hostiles to hyper in on the other.

Wave progression, or some sort of textual clue as to how far you've gotten and how much left to go would help a lot. The fact that the ship says the same couple of things over, and over, and over, then hypers out with no warning. It's the monotony that gets me most though. The best missions at least have 2-3 different groupings of ships, so you get some variety in the slag you make, but even the old game Defender got tougher as you went along, ya know? I want a climax!

Trumping the AI to make a boring mission even more boring though? That's just kinda silly.

as droid327 said you can go make yourself a taco salad and maby watch abit of tv and your done with that part of the mission. and you just have to hope theres not more escorting parts to do in that mission. "greater of two evils" is a good quote here i think.

Gas is like the dark side of the force....if a Jedi is not careful, it can consume him

at least if you kill stuff you get credits and loot..if you eat a taco salad you just get full.....

..well maybe gas too

Fear leads to anger, anger leads to stress
stress leads to doobies, doobies lead to twinkies

do the escort missions seem abnormally long to anyone else? i just did one and it took over half an hour and that was just the first part.
