Success! (of a sort) read the posts further on down.


Has anyone found a workaround for this bug. I have seen people post that they are not affected by it but I've not seen anyone that was affected by it post that they found a way around it.


There are two of us flying a Krayt, both of us have the mission in our datapad. We are using the tractor beam given by Captain Koh, we have not tried using a crafted one. We have tried using the tractor on continuous beam, toggled on, and fired in short bursts.


Each time we get the message "Incrementing count" flying by on the screen and then the freighter blows up. The ore has been transferred to our inventory and not the ship's hold.This seems to be pretty much the same problem that everyone else is having.


Any success stories with this one, or any other ideas as to how to approach it?


Thanks,

I just ran it again...had no problems. Was flying an X-wing, swooped in on the freighter, flicked my tractor beam on at 480 meters, and held it on the freighter. Got the incrementing count, two waves of enemy fighters spawned, got the mission complete, and the freighter blew up.

closest thing to a work around I've found is doing the mission after a reboot. I used an Opressor on 1 account, and a Krayt on the other. On both accounts when I tried the mission (about 6pm-11pm PST the night before a server reboot) I got nothing but exploding frieghters with no countdown. The next day after a reboot, it worked on the first try. Not sure if it was a fix, I just treated it like an empty Krayt Graveyard and went back when the "species" was replenished (like dounuts).




Excellent tip Itet! Next time we take donuts with us!
