Okay, HOW many people are waiting on the escort portion of the mining ship quest? Is it so many that you choke to consider the space lag when you finally fix the mission? Is this causing you to delay fixing the quest? Not knowing what to do about everyone waiting?
Okay. Spread the escort and destroy missions out. Spread them over all the known zones except the two requiring special access.
Additionally, add an extra wildcard. Perhaps something akin to the force sensitive old man.
Divide up the mission based on the characters most developed ground profession. Those who are crafters, don't send them on the destroy mission at all, but on a scavenger hunt and give them a two-use schematic for the ship instead, or a crafting mission that requires they visit five different planets for the parts, talk to five different NPC's (each with its own request in exchange for the part,) and then assemble the parts into a requested component for a mining beacon. (trade this last for the ship.) Perhaps give shipwrights the schematic for the ship outright, (made from the scavenger hunt items.) Perhaps a defense turret from weaponsmiths, (one component, at least, should be a weaponsmith crafted component.) Maybe a FriendOrFoe computer from droid engineers. Possibly the beacon station itself from an architect.
Give the tank classes their own subquest. Have everyone on their own ground subquest for awhile. You'll have as long as it takes someone to decode it and write a guide before space becomes swamped with seekers after the new y-8.
