Beta Thoridar System Patrol is broken. I tried it 3 times and it always ended in defeating 4 out of 5 waves of Klingon attackers. It can not be completed.
Tried it again today. Appearently the 3rd wave of Klingon ships now consists of only 1 Raptor class vessel, no BoPs. And destroying this one ship does not count as separate wave meaning you'll end up with 4 out of 5 waves at the end. It can't be completed at least not for me...
I have not experienced this myself, however a fleet mate of mine has been getting this quite often. He is not pleased. I hope this gets fixed up soon for everyone affected.
This bug wouldn't bother me at all, if it weren't that beta Thoridar is one of the systems for the radiation scan satellite mission too, so everyday I finish 4/5 waves, get the satellite then have to do one extra system to finish the patrol mission.
Like other posters said its only a once in a while thing, yeah it sucks when it happens but what can you do.. Narendra System is better in the long run anyways.
The issue might be related to the addition/renaming of Hegh'ta Heavy BoP's. Beta Thoridor's 3rd wave can spawn either a Raptor or Vor'cha, then either a BoP and three fighters or five fighters. (This is my most common experience.)
Note the BoP. It is a plain 'Bird of Prey.' When all the others that spawn in the other waves are either Hegh'tas or the other named type. (Ki'tangs or B'rels, I forget at the moment.)
Before LoR this was fine. However it seems that the Patrol was changed to only count named BoP's and the spawns updated to carry those. This 3rd wave seem to have missed that spawn update and so the patrol becomes impossible to complete because it doesn't count that BoP.
Confirmed and filed a bug report for it the other day.
I've gotten mixed results.. being able to clear it some times and other times not - generally because a spawn doesn't happen.
My personal guess is that there is something wrong with the Klingon spawn tables. With the Patrols there's a chance of a science/support ship sometimes spawning instead of the regular escort/destroyer. Perhaps the wave is trying to spawn a ship that doesn't exist/isn't properly referenced?
The bug does have something to do with spawns. Apparently the trigger condition doesn't match the name of one of the spawns anymore, so if you get that one it sticks at 4/5.
I believe it is in the third wave.

I can confirm when the Enterprise F joins the fight, it stalls after 4/5 complete, i.e., the fifth doesn't show. If the Enterprise doesn't show up, it seems to work. I'd rather fight side by side with the Enterprise, so can we fix this please.
I just psted in the bug report forum thread of this problem.
I did it today just to see if it would work. After the fourth wave was "defeated" I flew around the marked circle on the map. I found there was a ship cloaked, as soon as I got near it, it unlcloaked and attacked me as soon as I killed it the fifth wave warped in. I had the Enterprise in this one so I don't think that is the cause of it.
Try flying around and seeif you come across this ship and if it is then maybe it is that one ship that is the problem. If it is it maybe easier for them to remove it from the requirement and the mission.

Don't confirm things too quickly. This bug happens with and without Shon. I'm not sure what triggers it, but it's not the Enterprise-F.

I reported this one about a week ago. And yes it does have to do with the spawning of the Klingon's at about the 4th wave. The only way I was able to finish it was to exit the mission, then start over... To me this is unacceptable, but at the 2nd attempt it did work properly and I was able to finish.
I also have discovered that in a number of Patrols I have this bug. I am not sure whether there is a ship hidden somewhere behind Cloaking... (could maybe be one of the To Duj fighters) Or a BOP who spawns at the wrong place on the map. I flew some searches for some time in one mission and found it... in others I didnt. And after 10 minutes of Searching I gave up...

I think one of fleet may have been way out of the view, either you might be flying way too high or other side?
if something else, then restart with fresh mission, delete old one and get new mission.
Tried this mission 5 times. 2/5 i end up with 4 out of 5 missions only. cannot be completed

First run, worked fine, 5 waves done.
Second run, bugged, only got 4/5 waves.
Third run, worked fine, 5 waves done.
Just another inconsitent glitch.
