I get the mission successful message. However when I land I get mission failed message and a diffferent mission name. The name of the one it says I failed sounds like one that I actually failed a few times in tier 2 but eventually figured out. Anyone else have this problem?
If you mean the mission with the name like "Kidnap Imperial .. Officer" where you first get to a Lambda Shuttle which will be taken over by a droid, escorting it etc... This mission ain't over after you've escorted the shuttle!
In fact it has quite more legs and is in my opinion very difficult. One little hint for this mission: Disable all TIEs, never ever destroy them when you're on this mission or you'll get endless waves of opponents.
I was attempting this missions 101 times before someone told me this. We even tried it in a group with 3 ships. No luck. This mission is long AND difficult which can make it frustrating. Even in a group it's painful as usually the mission holder gets attacked and shred to pieces first.
This difficulty level is also a "bug" in my opinion even if it might be intended. As stated above, even in a group it's nearly impossible as the spawn is endless and too fast if you don't resort to things like just disabling the opponents.

CorSec Tier 4 "Assist the CorSec against the Black Sun"
I completed this mission twice last night and both times the NPC trainer refused to do anything but offer me the mission again.
No response to a CSR ticket other than "watch out for the patch notes" so now I am unable to progress with JTL and feeling despondent

Imperial Storm Squadron Tier 4 mission 3 "Endor system: Capture Bothan Controlled Engineer Transport"
Everytime weve tried this mission with exception of onceweve disabled the transport and on the last time even tried to dock with it before the glitch happened but it said I did not have permission. What happens is once it is disabled it would try to launch into hyperspace and in doing so would destroy itself resulting in a mission failure. Very annoying cause now I cant get training until I beat this mission. Think its a glitch but anyone know of some trick or maybe something were missing here for this mission plz let me know.

Smuggler track, tier 4 destroy duties involve ships far harder than the equivilent Rebel missions. (well protected firesprays and fast tie advanced with the ace being an aggressor for the smugglers, normal tie's and occasional bomber and intercepter for rebels with their ace being IIRC an advanced)

Smugglers Alliance, Tier 2, Hijack Freighter duty mission
I don't know if this is a bug, an oversight or if there's a rational explanation for this but after disabling, capturing and hijacking the freighter in the Dantooine system, I began the escort mission to the hyperspace point (which I'm assuming your meant to do).
Every TIE group that spawned in was aggroed to the freighter but not to me. (They obviously became a little peeved after I shot at them because they went aggro on me instantly!) I was surprised by this as the enemy fighters that spawn on the duty escort missions aggro both the freighter and me as soon as they spawn.
(Am I on the only one complaining about something that makes it easier for me?
)

Rebel Vortex Tier 4 Mission 2: destroy inquisitor leader. If I failed this mission and got destroyed, all the npc ships would instantlyshow up at the spacestation and rez kill me while I was waiting to get repaired. Quite annoying.

Privateer mission Tier 4 bubble 4. given by npc in datoonine. the mission is very hard, takes 6 uber peeps. when we did the mission and completed it, it said mission completed ect go see the captain, we go back and he acts like you failed the mission. we did this 2 times, everyone is alive and all in area, combat logs to vertify. still no credit for the mission. on an earlier occassionwhile helping an other person on the same the mission it succeeded when someone accidently shot the corsec ships we were helping battle against the black sun. This game is way too far into play to have crap like this going on in it. its hard to get lots of people to keep helping you doing the same mission. its sucks big time to be stuck on this totally dumb mission forever.

Hey JK,
I had this problem when I first started this mission...I hope you are talking about the Lamda Shuttle mission on Lok. Well, I too had the same thing happen to me, but I found out, I didnt have an astromech or flight computer on my ship that I was using. When I used a Y-Wing equipped with an Astromech droid, I got the waypoint. I hope this helps.

Not sure if it has been brought up, but here goes.
Tier 4 Mission 1
The first part of the mission is a no brainer, a simple docking mission.
The Second part is a delivery. This is where it went hairy.
You hyper in and are presented with two Imp fighters.
The problem is there was no delay (or if there was it was eaten by lag) between
hypering in and being attacked.
Less than a minute later I'm attacked a swarm of Imp fighters (more than 4), So now I have 6 tier 4 fighters making me go boom.
*shrug* I would expect a little more time before 1- being attacked , 2- the next wave.

Rebel - Naboo - Tier 3 Mission 2 - Get the info from the Blacklight Pirate, but it didn't spawn or if it did it ran away never to be seen again. No mission failure message (until leaving the system, of course)

Sorry to spam, but i posted to the wrong forum. Here is the info.
I did have another ship go Invulnerable on me 2 days ago. Was doing RSF mission Tier 4 Mission 4 in my Kimogila, where you have to find a cargo ship and scan it then take the cargo (turns out to be Weapons Manufacturing Equipment). Got to the waypoint and the Cargo Ship there had Computer Parts, which was not what I was looking for, but I disabled and docked anyways. After doing this with 4 cargo ships in a row because it wasn't the right ship, I grew frustrated and began destroying them before he timers ran out. One spawn at a time, so the flying around space was minimal. On the 3rd ship, I disabled and docked cause it had a different cargo, still wasn;t what I needed, so I started blasting it. Got it down to 0%, 43%, 56%, 29% (about, no number above 50%) and then I could not hurt it. Walked my blasters up and down the ship and no shot was doing damage. Ping was low, hovering around 100-ish. 2 advanced blasters and 1 heavy blaster, all on Weapon Overload 3. i was the only person doing my mission, no other players or volatile NPC's in the area to shoot me or the transport. I slowly flew around her trying to kill her and she just ignored me like a Elephant ignores a Gnat. She finally blew up due the timer expiring and not me shooting her as I gave up after about 2-3 minutes of popping her from every angle about 15-30 meters from her. Oh, and I went hopping around the friggin sector looking for my cargo ship and found her by the Endor Station around 7Km from my waypoint. After getting the "This is the Cargo we are looking for" message, I disabled and docked, but while I got credit for the finding, I did NOT get credit for docking and was then stuck since you can't dock twice! The ship popped on the timer and I still had a mission to dock ith it. Rather than bugger out of the system and start over, I was patient, went back to the waypoint and scanned and killed cargo ships in the hopes another "right" one would show up. Luckily (or perhaps all praise to a Dev) another did spawn and I was able to complete the mission. Cut-and-pasting this section to the bugs forum as well due to the cargo ship issues.
