OK I am not sure if this is a bug but it makes the missions almost impossible to finish even in a group.
After you reach level 2222 and start the Imperial Storm Squad Endor missions to unlock the third line of boxes you have to complete all the missions in a row without getting killed or you have to restart them all.
Is this a bug, or are we supposed to get our completed missions wiped and have to start 5 missions back?
If this is not a bug do rebels and neutrals also have a similar set of missions after level 2222 that they have to complete all at once?
I also am curious why after you fill up one box you are maxed out on XP after the first row of boxes. This is really frustrating because I have done these naboo missions 3 times now and once I do finish them I will have no extra xp. Therefore everything I am doing now is just a waste of time.

Just level up. Once you get a good engine they move real nice except for a few of the heavy ships.
Lots of people complained about this in beta but they never level up there to the better ships and engines. Once you do that you can really move fast and turm on a dime.
I think that is how it should be. Newbs should not be all powerful.

I'm having the same problem as well, and its the Duty missions on the first tier, so there's no way they aren't my missions - especially when it happens in the destroy missions.
Sometimes I can line up a shot and he takes damage right away. Other times he's invincible. I can always tell when the bug is implace because I can't land a single hit no matter how I aim.
At first I thought it was me or my ship, but I recently got lvl 2 weapons and capacitor, so I can follow indefinitely and hammer him.
I feel this is a bug because of some small clues. When I'm close, I see the shots land on his craft and his shields go up. When the bug is not in place I do ~18 points of damage per hit.
As well, there are rare occassions where his ship will "jump" ahead, and then I will be able to damage him. I suspect there is an error where the graphic shows the ship in one place while the AI see the ship somewhere else.
Pls fix this, as it is extremely annoying.

I'm also gated at 2222 Imp Pilot, Storm Squadron... The quest to advance from here takes like 2 hours to do and just in the end there's the craziest spawn ever and poof, start again! I'm pretty sure not even a 10 man group could do it, since there's at least 10 tier 5 NPCs... Or something. Baah.

I think its already mention..but the more you mention it the more it is taken note of. 
Since upgrading to tier 1 tie and in my sorosub the group box is missing and you cannot see how much damage your ship is taking. However it is find when I use my starter ship, not the biggest issue in the world but very handy to know how well your ship is doing and if youshould take on that extra x-wing or not.
Also as stated its not a bug, but the UI skin colours make seeing certain controls and options hard to see as well as the text in thechat box making you have to change colours all the time. Perhaps make them less glaring and more solid.

Heres the biggest issue with IMP Tier 3 mission STORM SQUADRON: the mission is impossible. Look at the pilot boards, and th eJTL disscussion boards. all pilots who took storm squadron are stuck here. Too long, too many tier 4 ships, infact, too many ships to be able to complete the mission.

Targeting other people's mission foes with 'target nearest enemy' is a bug. If you cannot combat a target - it shouldn't be considered an enemy.

Im in the same boat.....Stuck on the Endor tier 3 mission #1.......Im a 2-2-2-2 IMP storm squad pilot, have maxed 200k XP, I can get to the end mission by myself, but when it comes to the final spawn of bad guys im taken out in less than a minute.....the best ship an IMP pilot can have at this point is an Tie/In which is a tier 2 ship.....what chance does that have against multiple tier 4 and 5 ships......this is really frustrating......has to be a bug. One thing I noticed that was fixed,at realease of JTL,on the Tatooine destroy mission (the one you can do over and over in Bestine) there used to be a 1250 XP tier 3 ship that would spawn on the command wave (Very hard for a starter tier 1 ship to take out). Now its a 400XP tier 2 ship.....so I know the dev's can fix this.....Im starting to think all 5 parts of this mission are supposed to have tier 3 ships, the first four parts of this mission do. All of the 1-1-1-1 missions had tier 1 or 2 ships, and the 2-2-2-2 missions had tier 2 ans 3 ships.... tier 4 and 5 at this point is a bit much for a tier 2 ship to handle. I hope this resolved soon, if at all

There is also a known bug where the top and bottom of the ship is invulnerable. If you hit it from in front or right from behind you will do damage, but if you are just hammering it from on top it won't take damage. I have seen this bug in action, but only rarely so far.

Okay, updated again. Please ... when you issue a bug or another problem, please include your FACTION and SQUADRON in your report. This may only be affecting your squadron, especially mission related issues. The more information we have, the better.

I have exactly the same problem. I'm an alliance pilot just starting tier 2, can't remember which squadron but I started in Mos Espa. When I can hit them, I kill them in 4-5 shots. But more and more frequently, I can hit them with hundreds of shots and do NO damage, sometimes their shields actually go up when I hit them. Eventually, I fail the mission because they escape. This has got to be the most important bug to fix. If I can't kill anything, I can't advance (and no, they aren't someone else's missions). PLEASE fix this. Thanks.
