Just wanted to bump this. This mission is unable to be completed, and therefor the entire daily series cannot be completed. Provoking the Breen, and defeating all the reinforcements also doesn't seem to work (this method is mentioned on the wiki). Needs to be fixed.
You can still complete "Aiding the Deferi" which is the one that's worth 1440 Dilithium and you can do the other one that's worth 480 Dilithium, just not the Captives one.
Also its still failing the mission even if you "transport" in time, but I found that if you jump to sector space before the time runs out it resets the mission so you don't fail and can do it over. Though a second try was no more successful than the first.
In light of someone else claiming it was still possible to complete Aid the Deferi, I'm bumping this, because often times it is NOT possible to complete it due to the store menu coming up on OP3 rather than mission pop-ups. Have to ignore it on defend the outpost, and if you get 'supplies overdue', you're basically screwed, cause hailing the station produces the store and outpost security menu. Not the mission prompt to find the freighters. And you can't scan them before the mission prompt.
The Grand Nagus isn't gonna like this at all...unless he's in on it with the Breen.;)
On a serious note, I take it the last patch hasn't remedied this problem? 'Cause I'm not gonna bother even attempting my Deferi dailies until I read confirmation that they're back in working order.
If the Grand Nagus wasn't Rom I wouldn't put it past him. But I doubt that Rom's Bajoran wife would let him hear the end of it if he was allowing slavery to make a profit. Hell if you listen to Quark Ferengi society has always condemned slavery and never participated in it.
And I concur, I will sadly be abandoning the Deferi Run until this is resolved.
Tellingly, you can get a fair amount of dilithium in the Sphere. No reason to break our standard dailies. Or the sector map. Or the mail.
Question. Is it normally possible to transfer officers on your roster to another character through the mail? I've heard of it before for the purpose of training, but the officer won't actually go into the mail. I'm a mail console.

I would like to bump this post in hope of Dev response and add that the missing transport mission while assisting Deferi Outpost 3 is bugged as well. As soon as you start it brings up the checkpoint to contact outpost but contacting the outpost does not bring up the mission start interface instead it brings up the normal outpost interface with the store and does not give credit for contacting outpost thus making it impossible to complete not only this mission but the entire Aiding the Deferi Daily for that day.
If you pay them off you don't have to fight them. It completes even if you choose the "return later" option.
Confirmed. Just did one that way. However, using the deflector pulse is still broken. Also, Defera Outpost 3 is currently bugged, the supply store lady pops up instead of the Outpost admin, meaning that some of the missions are incompleteable because they cannot even be started. Nothing like getting screwed out of 1920 dil over some rather dodgy QA! :mad:
I hope this gets fixed shortly.

It seems that the Outpost 3 "Under Seige" mission is also completeable, albeit bugged. It seems the damaged freighter mission is the only one that cannot be completed.
Just a little FYI. Carry on.

Any one else having issues with the Deferi daily missions being bugged? so far ive had the following problems
1/ intermittent issues with outpost 3 it seems to drop me into the standard system map and I cant complete with mission, but when I go back the following day I can.
2/ The Breen patrol mission : If i choose the deflector pulse option despite having several seconds left on the timer, it just continues to count down until I'm force to fight the breen and ultimately fail the mission. I don't know about trading the prisoners for GPL as I refuse to throw that much GPL up the wall
3/ The Zaria system mission the Breen at the beam in point now seem to be getting stuck inside the prison cell tubes thus making it so a player cant target them.
it looks like there are 2 missions trying to go at the same time. The arrays phase out and back, repair get the outpost dude to tell you the balance is great or something. No credit for the repair. there is a lower level quest(??) thats pretty much the same, or close to.
got a reply that they are sending the info to the dev team. but with season 8 and the horrible graphics bugs today(11/21) I'm not betting on them getting to it anytime in the near future.
Confirmed here too. The Deferi Dalies are broken. Cannot complete "Rescue Captives" and Outpost 3 doesn't go anywhere. Can't search transports and even the "outpost 3 security" doesn't work either. No matter how many times I scan the satellites, nothing gets repaired. I rely pretty heavily on that 1440 DIL. Major disappointment here. I feel justified in not playing in over a week. You owe me a buch of dilithium. :mad:
Being the paranoid schizophrenic that I am, I wonder if, these dailies in the "old" quadrant have been sabotaged in order to ensure continued player participation on the "new" quadrant.
I have no idea how releasing a new series can break something completely unrelated like this, yet they still want four or five times the price for lifetime sub than a AAA title costs on release day. *facepalm*:mad:

I attempted to do these this afternoon. I managed to do the Zaria one, but with the graphic issues that is already known. The Kelvani belt did ok, once again the usual graphic issue listed. Aiding same as above.
However the outpost was bad. I couldn't get the person to come up to give me the mission to complete it. Instead I kept getting the store.
I hope they fix this issue along with the others. Cause this really hurts my Dil farming for items.

Do we have an ETA on when these bugs are supposed to be fixed? I cannot complete Rescue Deferi Captives(Daily) and Assist Outpost 3 is hit or miss depending on which mission it is.
Any news about that ???? Dear Devs - what is the prob?? It worked fine before - why are you not able to fix it?? I am really sorely disappointed.......
Ran into this today, need a little topup for my Dil for fleet / rep gear. Havent run these missions since before S8, so glad to find out that something else i need is broken
How is it that new content breaks the old unrelated content ?
WTF, Cryptic, did you guys break the daily space "free Deferi captives"? I try to transport the captives off the ship, and the timer times out. This is really starting to get aggravating.
Outpost 3:
The mssion doesn't start after making contact with the outpost like before and the contact ops button stays in the middle of the screen as you try to run the mission. If you do not choose to help with their security issues then no mission shows up for you to do.
If you do choose to help with their security issues the there are no indecated points on the map to find the security arrays you must use the scanner to find them (which is fine for me who has done the mission before) and then the mission doesn't update its status.
Rescue Deferi Captives:
Only way to complete the mission now is to pay the 1,000 GPL and then you still have to destory the breen ship. You use to be able to take the deferi with out paying the breen and then destory the breen. Would be ok with paying the breen if there was a good bonus for completing the mission peacefully and not destorying the breen ship; after all they do show up as an allie when you approch them in sector space.

Has anyone tried paying the latinum to see if that still works?
