I did a search and couldn't find a reference to this (so forgive me if there is a thread on page 1 and I missed it).

In Yavin space there is a corvette floating around (can't be targetted) that has an X-Wing near it. If you disable the X-Wing you can dock with it, and download "cargo" from the X-Wing. In (I think ) Tattoine space there is a Firespray that can also be docked with. *Note*: It seems these ships are linked, as you can disable/dock/download from one or the other. Trying to dock with them both will net you a "Unable to download cargo" from the second ship you dock with.

I've looked around and I can't seem to find any mission attached to these two ships. I can only presume that in yet another system there is an Imperial fighter that can be disabled and docked with.

Are these ships connected to the mission you can pick up in Coronet (which is also bugged and can't be completed), or arethey similar to the JtL NPCs in Tyrena that you can talk to but offer no mission?

Most of those ships are static-spawn NPCs for a quest somewhere in the 9 pilot trees. If you destroy them, they will respawn about one minute later so somebody else can do the quest without waiting 30mins (a-la JSF corpse).

I remember when I was going up my first pilot tree I saw a bunch of odd things floating around, like Imperial Science Researcher or something, also in Naboo space there's a spawn with 4 tier1 Ay'Nats and a tier2 YT-1300, and these are the same thing. If you go up a different pilot squadron, you will find missions that give you waypoints to these (and other) NPCs that would still be there in space even without the mission.

As to why you can get the cargo off one and not the other, that's more than likely due to the fact that once you've gathered cargo your 'cargo hold' (not related to the mining cargo holds) is full, since it only holds one item. So when you go to the other ship, you're full, because you still have the first cargo.

Does this help?

Not really, because these ships are new..

You see, I've done all 9 pilot squadons, so I would recognize the ships (wrote notes on all 9 squadrons, what ships you face and in what location in space) had I encountered them before. The corvette in Yavin space is certainly new.

I guess the mystery continues then.

You mean the one thats just a piece of 'terrain' by the rebel space station, or an actual Vette?

Yes, that one. Hadn't seen it before, nor had I run across these ships that can be disabled and docked with. (More than one account, all have Ace pilots covering all three factions)

Not sure what I'm "getting" since it doesn't appear in inventory or on the datapad, and I don't remember them and have no notes for them for the nine different squadrons.

My apologies. I assumed you had only done one squadron.

Perhaps these are the same thing except for missions we haven't discovered or were disabled because they were too cool.

I think the Corvette in Yavin space is the instanced ground Corvette misson ship and it may only show up in space when someone is doing one of the Ground Corvette missions. I've seen it off and on since JTL launched.

That's pretty cool, if it's true. If you or anyone else here has a waypoint to it, I'd like to check this out.

There is a YT out there, can't recall the name, you can dock with. After numerous times trying, I got two separate data manifests, one encoded, one decoded. From there, I was to find these OT-Violators. Asked every pilot I knew, they had never heard of them. I searched EVERYWHERE for them.

Was helping someone to a vette in Kessel when lo and behold, OT Violators on my scope. So I disabled them all, inspected them, and on one I found the next clue.

Anyway, it went on for two more parts. I got some creds at the end. WOHO!

So I don't really know if there is any worthwhile hidden quests, but I have found more than three so far that have interesting stories at least.

That is Verrrrrrrrrrrrrrry interesting! So I have a mystery afoot, and things to discover.

I've always wondered why there are NPC's at several starports with the JtL blue circle over their heads that offer no missions. Makes me wonder if those NPC's are content that hasn't been enabled yet.
