Thread: Focus Thread: Missions running out of time
Tiggs wrote:
Some of you are experiencing missions that fail due to running out of time. For one type you must dock with a craft that is listless in space to repair, and then escort them out of the system. For the other suspected type you must chase down a ship in transit, disable to capture and then escort them out of the system.
- Is your pilot faction Rebel, Imperial or Neutral?
Imperial
- Was your first trainer on Naboo, Tatooine or Corellia?
Talus
- What is the name of or Tier of the trainer that give you the impassable mission?
Tier 3 Black Epsilon (on Yavin IV, imperial outpost)
- Which mission in the series, or duty mission, was it that failed due to the time limit being exceeded?
Second mission, Tier 3, escort the Hutt smuggler to Nym turf. Times out before I can get to Nym. Tried four times. With four wingmen.

Tiggs did comment. The issue was discovered over the weekend when no Dev's were on duty. Monday morning myself and others hounded Tiggs all morning for a response. She told us they would push a possible fix to test center and that happened yesterday. So it is currently on test center. No one who is on test center has reported if the fix worked or not yet. Unfortunately there are no "Blue Frogs" on the regular test center so to test this fix you need to create a character there and grind to it. (Kinda unreasonable in my opinion but whatcha gonna do?)
So... what should we be doing? Well, if you want to help out, create a character on Test Center and get to it. If you don't want to do that then just relax and wait for the fix to go live. How long till it goes live? Well, from discussions I had with Tiggs they seem to realize how big of a bug this is and they are working hard to get it resolved. I must say, if any other Dev besides Tigsgs told me this I'd throw it in the same catagory as the smuggler upgrade. In this case I think they're doing what they can to get us past this.
I know I have been stuck on my Tier 4 Black Epsilon mission since the 17th due to this bug. I am just as anxious as everyone else here to see this resolved. Tiggs will not post anything about this again until she has something to post (in other words... when it's fixed.) For now hang in there. In my opinion this is the only thing stopping me from deeding my Decimator so I'm chomping at the bit too.
Be patient people and keep those /bug reports coming. Input your experience in this thread, and if you are willing get on Test Center and try to test this. Thats all we can realistically do right now. We don't need more threads on this just more people reporting and testing.
Just push the TC 'fix' to live. It doesn't seem that anyone aware of this problem has a pilot on TC that is able test it. Might as well let us test it in live, its already broken, how much more broken can the 'fix' be? Everyone here can test the 'fix' on live immediately.
Thanks for your attention to this Tiggs.

Lets keep this thread up at the top till we get a resolution. Seeing other folks starting new threads because they didn't notice this one.
Also, any update from those trying on test center? Tiggs any news?
The first fix did not produce results we were happy with and there is another change working its way through internal testing now. Thank you for your continued patience, we want this bug fixed as much as you do.
Thank you for the update. This is exactly the communication we've been dying for from the Dev's. I appreciate the hard work you folks are putting in and plan on continueing my grind on TC tonight. Again, thank you for your hardwork and diligance on this issue and the many others you folks are trying to solve.
(Now this is the kind of Christmas present I wanted from SWG, thanks folks!!!!!!!)
But seriously, so the "fix" they announced didn't fix anything?
