Mission 'Battlewagon' bugged?

[Jaba01]

I've been flying back and forth for a like ten times between two waypoints and it just doesn't seem to continue. Known bug? Any workaround?

Edit: I've paired up after the first wave of enemies, got dropped out and killed a second one, then this loop started. Eventually I left the ship and the mission failed. I restarted it and the same thing happend again.

Did you "Warp Pair" with the Battlewagon after defeating the first wave of ships? It's just an non-hyperspace escort after that and takes god know how long to reach the base at sublight.
I left the mission after 10 min of sublight flight and seeing barely 20 parsecs of space out 1870 fly by every 5 min or so.
Yawn fest...hope they adjust this mission somehow.

have you entered paired warp ? i held off on that one wasnt sure how hard it would be in my trading ship with lvl 1-2 gear but i ended up doing it ok,

only thing was it kept failing paired warp because i wasnt close enough, you need to be under 1k or it keeps dropping out of warp.

the station trip wasnt 5 mins from the last fight not even close the first wave takes the longest to kill the second wasnt even a concern time wise for me.

I did pair up to warp, but it just flys to an asteriod field, then the ship turns around, flys to a debris field, turns around again, again. I've even restarted the mission and the same thing happend.

Oh...well I am glad I gave up after 10 min of sublight boredom then...

weird lol i just did it np, sorry .

[nobrien]

try restarting theres a patch released.

[Jaba01]

So you don't have to pair warp or what? It makes no sense :x

Patch also only fixes mac issues.

[nobrien]

if you dont pair warp it will take alot longer to get there, idk how long but you can tell if your pair warping as it has that speed thingy going on.

If the ship is flying to an asteroid field, stopping, turning around, and getting "stuck", you need to blow up a path through the field - it's a weird glitch, but one you can fix... usually.

Yeah, I've found that answer somewhere here already. Other escorts are optional, but shouldn't this one at least work without RNG?

I've quit this mission 5 times now for the same reason, 90% the way there we hit a asteriod field and they give on on the pathing and do a U-turn back to the start... rinse, repeat, endless fail loop.

Shooting the asteriods would work however the damn thing ususally turns around before u have time to nuke em

I definitely think it's an issue that should be patched, but at the moment, at least there's this much of a workaround for the problem.

At the moment this mission just too frustrating. I hope it doesn't mean no progression in Mercenary guild. On a side note, I've not seen any mercenary "jobs" since I joined other than this battlewagon.

Thank god they are working on it. Paired Warp right now is terreble. It dosn't help that the FIRST THING that happens when you try it is it rams into the middle of an ice formation then has to be babysat past the rocks.

Oh, and when warping your mercnary will sometimes slam into a planet, rock or station and die instantly. That's a nice way to spend 30k.
