Some of you are experiencing missions that fail due to running out of time. For one type you must dock with a craft that is listless in space to repair, and then escort them out of the system. For the other suspected type you must chase down a ship in transit, disable to capture and then escort them out of the system.
- Is your pilot faction Rebel, Imperial or Neutral?
- Was your first trainer on Naboo, Tatooine or Corellia?
- What is the name of or Tier of the trainer that give you the impassable mission?
- Which mission in the series, or duty mission, was it that failed due to the time limit being exceeded?

Faction: Imperial
First trainer: Imperial outpost, talus(Black Epsilon)
Name of trainer for Ffailed mission: Insurgent, black epsilon tariner on In Dantooine Imperial Outpost
Mission leg: The second part, capturing and then escorting a Velocity Mercenary, failed twice now, first time it told me a failed to capture it, wven though i spent 45 minutes escorting it, second time I "Ran out of time" makes it IMPOSSIBLE for me continue past my Tier 4 exit quest and begin my master missions, so a fix to this ASAP would be MUCH appeciated
EDIT: as a side note, i have NEVER encountered this problem until the most recent JTL related patch, and also since the same patch, alot of things that were white to me, are now a green color, like the edges of paintings, and the loot kit Glass table top.

Imperial
Yavin, Imperial Outpost Black Epsilon (First Trainer was on Talus)
Tier 3
Mission 3
Docked with transport. It self-repaierd, and started moving. Enemy fighters started attacking. During the 3rd wave the shuttle got about 1500m away from me. As I boosted to get back to it, I got the mission failed message. Ran out of time. This has happened the last 3 times I tried to solo the mission. I am going to try again with a small group to see if we take out the attackers faster we wont run out of time. The first 2 times I tried the mission solo, I took alot of time to destroy the enemy ships, the transport at one time got 2500m away from me. I finished this part of the mission, without running out of time, even with 8 enemy ships still on the screen after the shuttle left (who proceded to give me an amazing whuppin), but died and failed anyway.

Freelancer, 4443, Endor capture & escort freighter. Waves of Valarian bombers keep coming, and are destroyed. The Freighter hypes out of system, and the I get "mission failed" and "You weren't fast enough"
My first trainer was on Tatooine
My current trainer is on Dathomir, named "Nirame"
This mission comes up after completing the third box on tier 4.
It starts out at Dantooine, with a frieghter disable & inspect. Then it moves to Tatooine to take on waves on Valarians, and then finally to Endor to capture & escort the Frieghter. Needless to say after wiping out that many ships, it really stinks to be robbed at the end.

Faction: Imperial
First Trainer: Bestine on Tat
Mission: Tier4 second mission on Endor - Disable and capture Bothan transport and escort out of the system. I ran it two times and both times I failed the mission right after the 3rd awing spawn.
Reason for Failure: Failed due to the time limit being exceeded.
I also made sure to enlist help for the mission and we made sure we killed all of one spawn well before the next wave spawned. I don't think that should make a difference, but one of the storm squad missions had this requirement. The mission seems to fail as the transport hyperspaces out of the system.
This mission is a required mission and not a duty mission.

(This happened on Test Center, so if you're only looking for Live data, please disregard)
- Neutral Faction
- Tatooine
- Tier 1 trainer in the Mos Eisley cantina
- Tier 1 duty mission where you have to disable a Valerian freighter, then escort it out of the system. After fending off multiple waves of incoming enemies, I just get the "mission failed" dialogue, the freighter was barely damaged, maybe 97-99% sheilds. (Edit: I do get the out of time message, along with the mission failed message.)

Faction: Privateer - Smugglers Alliance
Mission: Tier 4 2nd mission for a box 4343,
Description of mission: Dantooine - capture a Black Sun ship held by the Empire.
Original Trainer: Mos Eisely - Tatooine
Current Trainer: Nirame on Dathomir - Trade Outpost
I hyperspace to dantooine space. The journal entry indicates that I must disable the black sun ship. I receive the waypoint shortly after entering dantooine space. I destroy the imperial escorts and disable the black sun ship. At that point i get a message, which I don't recall at the moment, but that generally indicates that the ship has been captured. The journal updates to indicate that I must escort the captured ship. I've tried to dock with the disabled black sun ship but I was refused.
Continuous waves of Imperial ships attack. I defend the ship until it jumps to hyperspace. At that time i get a mission failed too slow message. I've done this mission twice once with assistance from a friend (the second time). Same exact result each time.

This mission is similar to a duty mission...waves of fighters, higher level leader type, rinse and repeat. I think part of the problem was that the AI was changed which makes the enemy harder to kill, but the time wasn't increased. It seems several in my guild are bogged down in missions now that keep us from advancing, and this is with us helping each other.

The following is from TestCenter where I'm currently gated on two different characters on two different Missions:
1. Char: Nadomir
Faction: Neutral (Smuggler Alliance)
First Trainer: Tattooine
Tier of the mission: Tier 4
Number of mission: Third mission.
The mission fails after/during a capture/escort mission. Target gets disabled and captured, I escort and defend it without problems, then it jumps to hyperspace and the mission fails.
2. char: Cadlina
Faction: Imperial (Storm Squadron)
First Trainer: don't remember exactly... it's the Storm Squadron
Tier of the mission: Tier 4
Number of mission: Mission #2
Again the mission fails after/during capturing escorting a transport the same way as above.
Note: Both failed missions took place over Endor

Tier 4 privateer mission. The mission starts on Dathomir where the quest giver tells you to go to Space and get Freight plans. After getting the freight plans the mission tell you to go to another planet's system and kill a group of fighters. After killings the fighters your told to go to another planet's system and disable a frieghter and then escort it out of the system. This is where after fighting off several waves of fighters the mission fails and says it took to long to complete. Can't go faster than the transport and I easily killed the waves of fighters before the next wave came.
Hope that helped.

Privateer - Smuggler's Alliance
Current Trainer - Shamdon Kree, lower level of Lucky Despot
levels:1/1/1/1, have been stuck here since a couple of weeks after JtL came out
Problems: All missions, any attempt to engage an enemy in space anywhere
More detail: Enemies will warp around in what has been dubbed, "drunken bee" fashion, and are all but impoosible to hit. Bug can be bypassed, but only after multiple logouts an full scans. Bug has been present since JtL Beta, and has affected numerous people, please see JtL Disscussion thread "Enemies Warping Still in From Beta!" for more detailed reports. Here's hoping for a response this time..
