How petty it is, we drift, like some alone thing, with all nearby to hear our suffering, yet, we toil so loudly we cannot hear the ringing of laughter, the revilers nearby, singing thier songs of merriment, their rejoicing. In our ears, we who wail and gnash our teeth, it comes as mockery, and the wind, a cruel, biting messenger, delighting in our agony. Self made. Whoah to us, oh cruel, heartless Universe, whoah to us, bereft of luck, if only we had the chances of others, but, we do not.
Unstop the ears, the flow is not ours to direct, the lilt of voices carried to us is the joy of life, it is not aimed at we who suffer in silence, in sworn isolation. The walls are ours to build, ours to tear down.

I dont want to start over, even with xp, and I certainly shouldnt have to.
You don't have to. The option remains for you to go out and beat the mission you are stuck on. Starting over just may be easier.
The fact is, the only reason I cant do this is because the time window to kill a wave is much, much too short. Im lucky to have two dead before the next wave hits. That means I would need two other pilots willing to help, and I cant find that many on the server.
You can't find two people willing to help you on your entire server? Unless you have done something exceptionally horrible to anger a lot of people, I find that very, very hard to believe. Have you even considered asking the people listed in this thread for help? That's what they put their names on the list for.
But I guess my problems arnt important, Im not a jedi afterall. Its a pity, I wanted to enjoy SWG, but it seems the devs dont want that.
Oh! Woe is me! Angst!
Look, the mission is obviously capable of being finished. Many people here have even soloed it. Yes, it is hard. But, to be perfectly honest, we NEED some things that are hard out here. As a pilot, I very rarely come up against something and think to myself "Wow! How do I deal with that?" I've made Ace three times with my alt, and in those three I've run into two missions that I had trouble with. Both times, I found that my problem was not that I was getting blown up, but that I wasn't killing my targets fast enough. Really, once you've learned to fly out here, there is very little that is actually dangerous to you. So either buck up, get some friends, and finish the mission, or don't. Whining about it won't get you anywhere.

Scylla has one imperial on the help list. And I have asked around fruitlessly. And you said yourself you couldnt do it with a total of four people. And your soloution was to discard progress you had made and start over, which I am not willing to do after such an investment of time.
Hard is fine as long as it is enjoyable. Repeatings tedious tasks to get a shot at an unrealistic goal is not enjoyable.

I was also not even an eighth of the pilot I am now. I finished my first Tier 3 in Storm Squadron last time I was online, and I am very much prepared to solo this mission this time. I've learned a lot since I was last there. The goal is not unrealistic. Just hard. If you're not having fun, you know what your options are. But constantly complaining about it won't finish the mission for you.
By the way, you can also ask those two Freelance pilots for help. Freelance ships are actually quite nice.

I raised the issue that the mission is too hard, this being the bug and issue thread. If I get to a point where I have to all of a sudden learn a load of stuff I have not been called upon to use or have been taught that is an issue. Especially since if my whim when I first took the proffession was different and I went with the Inquisition it seems I would have an easier time working to the same ultimate goal. Why the differance?
And what is it Im meant to learn anyway? I have been to ever component vendor I could find on every planet to get myself the best gun, engine and capacitor and still power it all. And I use droid commands, know which area of empty space to shoot at to hit the target. My objective is to quickly engage the target, concentrate on on (the rear) half of their shields and armour, destory it quickly and move swiftly to the next.

Tried loading a RE'd engine part with the electric ball effect and ended up with the gun1 and gun2 shooting from gun1's hardpoint and had this on the bottom of my b22 where gun2 should have been

I've had that before now Waiz, try swapping the guns around, but before you load it back on check the RE'd gun that is creating the Default Appearance box and note down what it says on "Variation of" it can be /bug'd then as that particular weapon on that particular ship. And be ignored like every other pilot issue I suppose :/
Just Bought a Nova. Got the deed from the chassis dealer, unpacked it loaded it up and launched. It has no component access panels AT ALL!!.
The Weapons access panels have been missing since around the time they fixed those default appearance boxes in my YT1300 and my Decimator too.

I get it when I load my Ionic Pulse onto the 3rd wep slot of my X-wing. All 3 weapons fire from the wing tips instead of the 3rd firing from halfway along the wings. looks pretty cool, but reduces spread 
They alsoshow of centrewhen you load them onto the ARC wings slots.

I can't remember having a weapon access before. I know I don't have one now, so was there one before?

Yeah in the YT1300 they were on the wall behind the turret ladders, been trying to get an answer if its intended or not, but going by some ships are generating with no access panels at all I'm guessing bug, the conduiate repairs are there, just no access panels.

My issues:
Screwed up missions (kashy comes to mind)
Not really a bug but the interaction of shipwrights and pilots. I had to put up my own vendors for looted parts due to the fact i know of 2 shipwright shops and neither guy is ever online.
Nebulag lag lag.. Shield Bloom lag lag lag... Privateer jabbas missions really are a piece of cake, and somehow i found myself on the jabbas gift mission hobbling to the tatt station to turn it in due to the fact in dathomir whenever that $#@#@@%$#%# everloving @#%@%@ red nebula came on the screen i would totally FREEZE for about 3 seconds, and then go to 5fps for about 5 secs, then bam back to 30fps but oddly missing 35% of my shields with 13 fighters buzzing around me.... Go figure.
#1 Nebulas dont form that close to planets.
#2 a nebulas never lagged Han and Chewie
#3 You cant hide in a nebula
#4 Theres really not alot to look at in space except for rocks and oupost stations and big planets. It wouldnt kill us to have "painted BG nebulas" instead of density rendered pixelated space that has the same effect as flying through 14 day old jello. Or heck, just add a little clicky box to options like on the planets "Render Nebula and non-collidable space object" on or off.... wouldnt that be spiffy?
The mission datapad thing... Nothing ever updates, no details, no squat. Half the time the mission doesnt even show up until you're IN space, then it just says the same generic one liner. Kinda sad actully.
POB ship, hey, theyre afully neat flying houses. To bad i can level them in just about ANY tier 3+ fighter. Sometimes on a good day, i can watch imperial pilots fly through my cockpit =D
mining vessel quest... wonder if thats been mentioned.
Back to the data pad: Minor bug, cant remove the starter quest from "J" or "T"
Loot in DS, there aint none. Some kind of incentive for non-pvp types to pvp. Other than watching their 500k+ credit ship decay.
(This is gonna sound bad, but world of warcraft really did a great job with this concept - cough cough, take a hint cough cough)
Droid commands.- my lvl 1 droid commands cause decay and sometimes mass chaos on a ship, while my lvl 3,4's work TO WELL. Briz-oken
Droids, Flight computers, Chips, And new players. The fact one of my alts is a DE is enough to make me post about this. The manual that comes with the total experience doesnt tell anyone SQUAT about these, and its up to DE's ot other pilots. Now if the holocron was updated a little more frequently...
Those are just a few. I wont mention the exploits. I got banned once for opening my mouth and flaming the dev's lack of giving 2 bantha poopoo's about exploiters. So i wont go there again. But why in gods name would you wanna pvp against an unbeatable foe? I can wreck my character and frustrate the heck outta myself in much easier ways, For example trying to find a shipwright online who will pay more than 500 for any looted components.
-The forums dont let you post with firefox
Oh - Make the quest ships tradeable and craftable. Maybe everyone flying a JSF will make people wanna fly something else.

Simple suggestion, might already know the command but didn't mention in post:
Try pressing the dock key again or try /undock.
