Ok, what's the trick to this. I'm using a reward tractor beam and I target and start getting the damaged freighter's cargo. I get incrementing count until I get 500 units and then the freighter blows up. Nothing further happens and if I leave I get mission failed. What's the trick here? BTW no fighters ever attack and I've killed everything in a 5km radius. LOL

A couple of us helped a guildie on that one. It's quite the "target rich" mission We worked him through to Kessel and then I decided to pick up where I left off months ago and do the damaged freighter. I know people have been getting this one completed so I figure I must be doing something wrong. I've been mining for months so I've got all custom gear. I figured it might be my crafted tractor beam so I put in the original one Koh handed me. Same thing. Target the freighter, turn on tractor beam, incrementing count scrolls up the screen, boom goes the freighter. Then nothing. I get the iron in my inventory it doesn't go to the hold. I don't shoot it with my lasers. No fighters attack. Nothing. Not sure what to try next.

I used crafted gear for this quest and didn't have any problems. Sounds to me like you're doing everything right, but that you've got a bugged mission. If the fighters don't spawn you won't be able to progress beyond this point. You might try harassing a CSR, although I hold out little hope that would help, or try dumping the mission (if you can) and restarting it.

I've never been able to figure out exactly how this mission works. My first attempt through, the same thing happened--freighter blew up, and there I sat. Reran the mission and no problem on my second attempt.

I have a knack for figuring out "how" a mission works, but this one continues to baffle me. I guess I need to run it again on an alt and see what happens.
