Ya, i just ran into this issue as well same thing as you said. i capture the ship, and start guarding it and the waves come but the ship hyerpers out and u fail

i think this is a bug were the ship is white (cant be shot at by you) but isn't regestering as you captured it.. i disabled and tried to dock, but that denided me.. and u do get the capture complete message but usualy when u capture then defend a ship u get anouther mission heading (escort frieghter) but it doesn't come up. sounds like a bug were it's not regestering that you acculy caputer. i bugged it and i hope they fix it soon, i want to try the new ship at master...

lets forget about the ship is docking with freighter theory. one of eyes was just glued to the radar to make sure nothing gets close. so either the problem is all ships must be gone when the freighter jumps or more likely, somebody screwed up and the capture mission is never updated to an escort mission (well, obviously, it will say capture it all the time).

but the csr replies are amusing. is there any better way to say "i dont care about it" or "im clueless" than "you have to do what the mission tells you" or "i cant tell, it would be a spoiler"? if this turns out to BE a bug one would sure hope the csr in question will be fired due to not reading HIS job description and being a waste of money.

That's a very interesting point there... I did notice that after capturing the freighter I was never given an on screen message to tell me to escort it, it just began crawling along it's merry way. If you check the journal however, it does indeed state you have to escort the frieghter out of the system.

hm, i checked the journal every after every wave just to be sure it didnt secretly change on me and it told me to capture the freigther all the way.

Anyway, I am glad somebody gained some amusement from the responses the CSRs gave me I must say I was not amused at the time, hehe. Useless doesn't even begin to cover it

come on, when you got a problem there's nothing better than smartass remarks like "duh, try reading the objectives, dummy" or "if it says you took too long you need to be faster, huh" from a person that obviously didnt even understand the problem.

but no problem, ill finish the mission faster, maybe it helps if i get behind the freighter and start pushing?

maybe somebody who already completed that mission could add a few words? anything special they had to do that isnt mentioned anywhere? or just a bug that was added with a recent update? its kind of annoying to do a 1h mission where you waste most of the time crawling around that ship without doing anything useful. should i fly ahead, hoping the waves will spawn earlier and attack me instead of the... another interesting thing.. im not sure if i ever saw them shooting at it.
