I'll give you two guesses which mission I'm on...
Yeah, I'm a Privateer (Smuggler Alliance) and I'm working on my 4443 mission assigned by some guy on Dathomir. I go to Dantooine to disable some Valarian Gunships in search of some shipping plans. Then I go to Tatooine to destroya handful of ships before jumping to Endor to capture and escort the Valarian freighter.
I destroy all the escorts and disable the freighter, but am not allowed to /dock. After awhile, I get a message that the freighter was captured and I begin to escort it. Wave after wave of attackers come for the freighter and each wave is destroyed in a little over a minute - after which I spend the next few minutes creeping along at 10% throttle about 175m from the freighter. I follow it for probably 30-40 minutes (tho after the 4th time, it seems more like an eternity) and then the freighter jumps out of the system and I get a failure message saying I took to long and a vital target had left the system.
It would be nice if this could be fixed soon as I am looking forward to trying out the new Krayt with a friend...

Freelancer - Smuggler
Mission after teach to 4434, Third Part = "Endor capture & escort freighter"
After more then 30 Minutes of Escort I get "mission failed - You weren't fast enough"
first trainer : Tatooine
current trainer : Dathomir, "Nirame"
tried the mission:
- alone
- with one friend
- with two friends
- with six friends
- with eight friends
- alone again, cause i had no friends anymore :<
... I had the same problem with the mission before (after got trained to 4433), tried it about 7 Times, the last time with seven other Master Pilots and it worked (dunno why, they all got bored as the frighter had same speed and the enemies got killed as fast as i tried it with one mor and with only 2 more friends).
This Bug is really annoying, it is really unacceptable that:
- you dont get a response on a bug-ticket
- CSRs answers are dump like "well, you have to make ist faster then"
- you dont get a hint that there is a timer, not to mention about a timer shown on your HUD
- the mission descriptions are like crap, many people have problems to understand what to do exactly (ex. finish something IN TIME!)
- there are such fun-killing systems like hidden timers that let you play 30 minutes, 45 minutes or more just to get a message like "you havent been fast enough"
- i will never ever again be able to get my friends into a group to help me out of a mission cause they think "it's bugged anyway, so why spend the time for nothing?"
Please FIX THIS FAST, and INFORM US about it (ex. in the Patch notes we all can read in the launchpad).

"Can we get some sort of an indication how long this is going to take to be fixed?" Its going on for ages and I'm sick of wasting my time and I'm sure there are others that feel the same way. Some sort of time frame would be great? What are we talking here about the usual 3-4 weeks to fix this or will it take longer?

This is the exact thing that happened to me as well. I usually tend to fail around the fifth wave if that makes any difference. I am 4433 Smuggler's Alliance Freelance Pilot.

Faction: Privateer - Smugglers Alliance
Mission: Tier 4 2nd mission for a box 4343,
Description of mission: Dantooine - capture a Black Sun ship held by the Empire.
Original Trainer: Mos Eisely - Tatooine
Current Trainer: Nirame on Dathomir - Trade Outpost
I hyperspace to dantooine space. The journal entry indicates that I must disable the black sun ship. I receive the waypoint shortly after entering dantooine space. I destroy the imperial escorts and disable the black sun ship. At that point i get a message, which I don't recall at the moment, but that generally indicates that the ship has been captured. The journal updates to indicate that I must escort the captured ship. I've tried to dock with the disabled black sun ship but I was refused.
Continuous waves of Imperial ships attack. I defend the ship until it jumps to hyperspace. At that time i get a mission failed too slow message. I've done this mission twice once with assistance from a friend (the second time). Same exact result each time.

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?
- Was your first trainer on Naboo, Tatooine or Corellia?

- neutral
- trainer was tatooine, privateer.
- the trainer was the tier 4 trainer on dathomir.
- the 4th mission in the series is the one thats failing. yes because of the time limit.

Even though I have captured the freighter, I do get valarian-type taunts from it throughout the mission.
I also do not receive any warnings about distance from the freighter even when I am 5k away.

THE endor escort mission forsmugglers alliancefreelance pilot 4th mission from nirame
Maybe someone should just take this mission out till they fix it so we can all go on to thenext mission.
That would be the fastest solution, so all those who have hit the brick wall because of this bug can bypass it.
I am sure there is alot of people who would be very keen to be able to complete master pilot .

See what you've done SOE? You've trapped a blue Glowie in Tier 4!!!
I agree with the poster who said you should remove this mission or give a pass, as a temporary fix. Most of us have already done the mission like 5 times over.

I haven't done this mission yet, and it seems like there are a lot of people having this problem but I thought I'd throw out a possible idea anyway. Since this mission takes place over various systems, is it possible that the travel time to the various targets is what's causing the time-out? In other words, perhaps if you hyperspaced to a different sector to do the mission, maybe one that was closer to the eventual targets that appeared, there wouldn't be a time-out?
