Aight, i've noticed that the freighter jumps out when its shield hit 100%. i've done the mission twice; the first time took 20 minutes longer because i totaly raped his shields...
my theories:
1. Before disabling the freighter, knock his shields all the way down to 100%. He's leaving too soon. the failed mission message would indicate this.
2. Knock his shields down to just 50%. he's leaving too late. maybe, dunno. worth a try too.
i'm gonna test out these two scenarios as i'm not to keen on waiting on the devs.
anyone have any input or wants to test this out as well is much appreciated!

okay, when i knocked his shield down to 0%, he jumped out when his shields were at 91%... odd.
gonna try knocking his shields just to 50%.

When you target the freightertarget his engines. That way he cant jump.

anybody notice that when the ship jumps its at your limit in space? might jump because it can't go any further. i could be wrong though.

it jumps after it times out, the bug is that it doesnt actually register that you have captured it wen it hypers outta there it says youwere too slow and a critical target has left the area.
At the start nirame says "ask and you shall recieve" is there anyway that i dont know that we are supposed to use like /comm on the freighter or something similar to get it really to registure as a capture.
I know it says disabled when u disable it, but no green writing shows up when its captured?
Its like the ship still wants to be escorted tho but the mission times out because its not really registering on your mission as being captured, and its like its waiting around for you to capture it but u cant cause it beeps n all that wen u try to shoot it a second time.
And when the timer runs out u fail cause u cant capture it,
or the devs used the wrong code like
Begin
IFnarame_tier4_misson_04_success=1 then;
Fail mission;
OR Fail mission;
endif;
end;

It doesn't matter if you target the engines, when the ship is taken over, hijacked or whatever, they are repaired and the freighter start to move. After some time, it jumps and you get mission failed.

Try disableing it, some need engines and reactor knocked out to be disabled. Then try docking with it.

I'm also a master Pilot of the Smugglers Alliance, and I also dont understand what problem you are having with the mission.
did you try to get withing 100m and use the /dock command?

Yea I tried to /dock many times but it says "denied" but when you first inspect it it says the boarding crew was succesful but its not 20+ JTL n00bs postingwho can't disable a fukin freighter. Its groups, guilds,shiwrights, competent players. Its there stupid gameas usual all fuct up, i mean this isnt just another gey broken pistol special, or vanishing inventory, this is a wall that cannot be passed. You simply get robbed of your victory all dirty like, like some sick joke implemented. I guess we have to just figure out someway to exploit around it since they justconsider everyone to bea bunch of noobslacking skillswhencontacting CSR, but that aint the case, case is all their wac fixes suck ass.
