Gated from Progression due to Mission Chaining

System

So heres a good reason why Mission chaining is BAD, My friend and I have been both testing the missions as it seems most people around here are leveling through alternative means instead of doing episodes (I came to this conclusion from the complaints about not being able to goto Gamma Orionis even though people are VAs)

So we have gotten to the Romulan Mission Ground Zero, there have been some hiccups with (new?) mission bugs but we managed however we've been grounding to do Ground Zero every instance reset and the Mogai Escort for the Reman cannot be killed. When I say this I mean even at 0 hull with 2 players in Rear Admiral Ships and a bunch of holographic ships all firing torpedoes at its hull it just wont die. Thus the mission wont progress.

So thats it? Game over man, there is NO WAY to progress pass this. One tiny little bug just brought the entire mission chain to a screeching halt. Good Job Cryptic. Theres no telling when bugs like this will pop up, things happen alot with unforeseen consequences during patching other things and then everyone is stuck unable to progress until a fix is managed to be sent down the pipeline.

Surely some dev over at Cryptic sees the inherent Flaw with this? One bug can bring the whole System crumbling down like it does with this mission.
