In the Taris- Uncovering the Past mission you have to answer the hail from the D'Deridex after scanning the force field, but the ship comes in hostile (red) instead of friendly (blue) which causes all weapons and combat pets to immediately fire which prevents the hail from being sent in the first place.
The IRW Sithesh needs to be set to friendly when it appears in order for the hail to be sent and only after it is answered THEN the enemy ship should go hostile, not before. I know that turning off autofire works as a kludge for gun-based ships but it is a royal pain in the aft quarters when flying a carrier since even setting the fighters to repair and recharge does not always keep them from attacking before receiving the hail, and keeping them in the hanger means they are usually not all launched before the fight ends.
