- Fixed the Y-8 mining Ship Convoy Protection quest. Waypoints, quest ships, and pirates will all appear as they should.

It's assumed that they don't want to turn it into the first Capitol Ship.
Yes, some good changes for the Y-8 according to the link provided.
Now I honestly don't know where or how they will allow access to the two new turrets, and am curious if pre-publish Y-8s are going to be skipped over. And lets face the facts, it is hard to get 2 additional people to man guns in my Y-8 now, but to add two more turrets?? Yuo will need a total of 7 people to fly the ship to its fullest.2 players for the 4 turrets. 2 players to man the 2 operations seats, and then the pilot.
The Y-8 escorts will now spawn and you have to escort them, that mission works fine and can be completed.
However the following mission where you have to destroy the gilded wookie and his escorts is bugged, due to the escort count bug. YOu will register kills for the wookie and the first escort you kill, but not the reamining four of the five escorts.
Hopefully this gets fixed before it goes live. Otherwise another long wait
If you examine the Y-8 vessel near the "chest" of the beas, you will see two dots, or rather plates in the ship, these two dots will be where you can access the turrets. The bottom shaft of the elevator will have new buttons to access these turrets. pre-publish y-8s will be changed, as DP posted. Well not to its fullest if you have a well trained crew who knows what they are doing. I plan on having me the gunner, a gunner in the top, and two in the chest space mining. If we are damaged, we all know the ship very well and can repair it. Id drive the ship out of harm first, of course. I can load droid commands fine or have a gunner shunt shields while we make our escape from enemies hittint lightspeed.

Nope the quest chain isn't fixed completely, you are still gated, but not on the mission that everyone was.

I thought the escort count bug was fixed on live with a hotfix. This would indicate that the test center pub 24 code is missing one or more hotfixes that are currently on live. This would be very bad indeed.

It was fixed on TC, but when they pushed the publish 24 code the devswere in a rush to get away for the well deserved holiday weekend.
It happens on occasions when hotfixes are pushed out just before a publish hits TC, fairly rarely, and will be fixed soon enough (probably Tues, certainly before it goes live).
