Okay, I just can't seem to get a handle on this mission. I'm still getting used to a new stick, but I'm not that bad.

First, the enemy black sun keep warping all over the place, especially when I line em up in my sights.

Second, a lot of them take shots in which I see their shields flicker, but they take no damage.

Third, when I managed to defeat all of the enemy, the frieghter stops, and does not proceed. I leave, and he says he still needs an escort. When I went back, no movement. After a half hour, I left, I went to the space station, and a message said I failed. Something about being a "worthless privateer".....

The shield issue is a server/client issue, pretty well known. Watch when you hit the ship, if you see the shields flicker then the server is saying you didn't hit even though your computer thinks you did. If you see little explosions you are hitting the ship. This is especially bad at high angles, hence the name of top/bottom invulnerability bug.

As for the mission, sounds like a bug to me, I did SS so I'm not 100% sure, but I never saw an escorted freighter just stop unless you were supposed to dock with it. Since this doesn't sound like the case was he by chance getting his engines disabled?

I finished it after figuring out how to target their engines and buying a good missile pack.
