I've been having the same issue in Beta Thoridar. Every so often the fourth wave of ships simply won't spawn. I have to leave the instance, wait a few minutes for it to reset, play it over again and hope.
It's just Beta Thoridor that's bugged. Other missions work fine and spawn all 5 waves.
Interesting. Did you do a full patrol's worth in one of the others or just a single pass? The Beta Thoridar problem is intermittent and doesn't always present itself.

This is still happening. It is very annoying as you don't know until most of the work is done. Not to mention I am doing this on multiple characters and it happens about 30% of the time for me.
Ok so lets recap:
1: Quest works and also an event that gives you 15 extra marks.
2: Quest changed (unknown reason) now sometimes doesn't count 3rd wave so you only get up to 4/5 waves and just sit there until you abort the mission and loose the time you spent. I see a forum opened on 05-22-2013 with someone reporting it in the bug section 11 days later still no fix.
3: Event removed but you get the extra marks no matter what time.
4: Extra marks removed
So now the quest is bugged the 3rd wave doesn't count sometimes so you have to do it 30-50% more work plus the event is gone so your loosing 15marks on top of the hassle.. This game works on the 2 steps forward one step back method lol. Im also curious if they are going to fix the mail system aswell I have so much mail on my account because you cant delete them and having 5 level 50 characters on Star trek selling stuff in auction house and 2 characters on Neverwinter all dumping mail in the same mail box lol.

Beta Thoridar is indeed bugged. I tried the other system called Narendra and completed the 5 waves of Hirogen successfully there.
