Also, he doesn't take what you mined, only a sample. That 500 units is yours.

Heard the same from 3 other people in-game now too.
You go there and tractor the ship and this message about Increment count keeps scrolling across the screen continuosly until the ship eventually blows up. Nothing else happens til you leave sector then it's 'Mission Incomplete'
I've tried it several times - never a fighter spawn.
Looks like it's bugged - so this quest series is now gated and impossible to do. I doubt we see a fix til Tuesday at the earliest.
Was the tractor beam your only weapon? I completed the quest by using cap to shield and continuously hitting the freighter with just my tractor beam.
I just figured it out - apparently the mining ship counts tractor beams as HITS - so by holding my beam button down it was eventually blowing up.
The trick to the 'uninforrmed' (yea, me) is to shoot the tractor ONCE, then let it go off and never shoot it again - by POINTING your ship at it it starts unloading the cargo and the spawns come etc...
You can break off, kill the spawns, then come back and point at it and it will continue to unload without firing your 'destructive' tractor beam again til you get your 500units - then it blows up as it should.
Some asteroid sometimes don't break. If firing with my mining laser for more then 30sec and nothing breaks, then I just fly to the next asteroid.
Dunno if this is the normal behavior or a bug, but find another asteroid and it should be fine then.
