So, if you stop by the Pilot boards, Tiggs is gathering information on missions that are no longer passable because they screwed something up with the way npc ships like freighters are commandeered for "boarding" and "escort" type missions.

Just so happens I'm at the last box of tier 4. This mission is an escort. And I can't do it. Little over a week to make it to 4443 and I'm stopped dead. There's not even any xp to grind anymore, and My YT is just out of reach because they decided to change a few missions and screw up the code.

Ten to one the ticket I submitted get s reply that doesn't even acknowledge that it's an issue, and accuses me of f*cking up.

I'll see if I can find someone on TC who can test this. Being very specific problem I can't but I'll also have a word with the TC QA's and see if they can test it themselves.

Oh, this is the great part. You spend the ENTIRE mission fighting tier 5 kimos, which really isn't that big a deal but the mission can take between 30 minutes and forever, depending on when you get the right /inspected gunship. But yea it's a really long slow escort that at the end, the mission just fails on you. It says you were too slow, but I don't know how to speed things up since the freighter only travels 119.

and Caylin, it doesn't ALWAYS do this I guess. It's only for certain people, someone guesstimated the number at around 35%.

I did, master pilots, but as I mentioned, Tiggs has already posted on this. It's a bug.

I remember that mission...takes forever... I call it the Mission of the Eternal Spawn...when we did it it was mind-numbingly boring...I think we killed waves for more than 30 minutes...after 10 minutes we were beyond annoyed.

yup, same deal, only at the end, you fail the mission sweet huh?

sounds like another case of dev love

Tier 4, Mission 2 escorts for the SA were working great last night. Something change? I'll try to get to mission 4 asap to confirm but it's slow going as I'm always solo...

Tier 4, Mission 2: Capture and Escort the Black Sun transportain't workin. I've tried it three times and it fails in the same spot each time. This is the out of time bug that Tiggs is working on.

Well I didn't have a problem with 2 but I'm sure having issues with 3.
