Hey, I recently switched to being a CorSec pilot, and I've got my skills at 1211, and I've been given a mission to get some information from a Nym Cannon Ship. I've found that they spawn every five minutes or so, so I can spot them, but even if I take out all the escorts, inspect the cannon ship, thendock with itand retrieve the info, the mission still doesn't complete. When I go back to my trainer, I don't have them. Any CorSec pilot out there who remembers this mission that can help me figure out my error? Any help would be VERY much appreciated. Thanks!

Oh yeah, we tested 'em, and said exactly what was broke. And then they put it on the list, and we never heard about it again.

Just stay in system and do Nym Cannon boat after boat til a mission success message pops up?


First time I tried I went back to the trainer 7 times before i got it.

Yesterday I just stayed in system with my second toon capturing them, and on the third one a mission successful messagepopped up.

Hehe, didn't think anyone who tested would read that, but I, uh, meant "do they even listen to the tester's comments on bugs they find?" =P


And thanks, Frostbite, I'll try to do it a few more times. I did it *twelve* times last night without getting it. It's made even more frustrating by the fact that if it wasn't buggy it would be a pretty easy mission. I'll try it some more though. Thanks for giving me hope that at some point it will click and give me the mission successful message. Your help is invaluable, believe me. I was beginning to lose faith that I'd ever progress, haha.

Huh, thats odd. The only issue I had with that mission was I needed to really "hunt" to find the Cannon ship, he was no where near the WP. I think this is what your doing "wrong" (its more like a bug then anything). You dont need to dock with that ship. All you do is get real close to the ship, then at some point you'll get a "the capture has begun" message, then after that is done you get a NEW mission where you need to lead the ship out of the area. I think by "docking" your "breaking" the mission and it dumps you.



1. Take out escorts so they would not pester me.


2. Target the Cannon ships engines and take them out so the ship will be disabled (after doing the INSPECT thing of course)


3. Move real close and wait to get the "capture has begun" message


4. Lead ship out of sector (this takes a bit, but the people that attack after that are whimps).

I'll try that, too, when I get off work. The only reason I docked is because it told me to. It said "This is the cargo you're looking for. Type '/dock' to dock." But I wouldn't put it past SOE at this point to have that mean "don't dock," lol. Thank you for your help! I'll try this!

I tried to dock myself the first time and everytime I did it would say "The pilot refuses your dock request." Could be some odd kinda bug.

I apologize for asking this question that's been asked many times. I realize now that this is just a really buggy mission. A NECESSARY buggy mission. Honest to God, are this things even tested?

Yeah, but if I disable it, then I can dock just fine, and it even tells me that I pick up the shipping plans. It looks like I'm just going to have to do it many more times until it just catches. *sigh* Why, oh why is this game so buggy. It could be so fantastic because it is (or was) so much deeper than any other MMO. All the issues sometimes make it seem like a boring, but bug-free game might be better. Less frustrating, anyway...
