Allied Zone - Joint Command: Find Missing Ship BUGGED

Hello:

Mission Allied Zone - Joint Command: Find Missing Ship won't progress after finding the allied ship, which I'm assuming is the one I found within the circle area on the map.

Take a look.

After approaching that ship the mission tracker says "Defend Allied Ship", but then nothing happens. I've flown around, gone back and forth, followed and escorted the ship for about 10 minutes, still nothing.

Cheers.

    Same thing here. Went to the map marker in bottom left of zone and mission updated to defend the missing ship but there was no ship or voth to fight off.

    Kinda ironic that the missing ship is missing from the game.

    If this is Cryptic's idea of a joke, it's a damn good one. :D

    I got the bug as well, it updated to "Defend" but then nothing happened.

    Hello, Cryptic:

    Are the devs even looking into this? Allied Joint Command seems to be THE main mission one should do to complete the Allied Zone Daily, since the former counts for +50% of the progress of the latter.

    Dropping the mission and picking it up again doesn't always work, as in you don't always get a different assignment but the exact same one: Find the Missing Ship, so one is stuck with doing several smaller, annoying and much less rewarding missions scattered all over a lag-ridden map.

    Please fix this. Thanks.

    Had to drop the mission because it's impossible to finish it no matter what I do.

    Dropped it too. Mine did show up but it was warping in and out. When I would get close it would move its warp in/out point somewhere else.

    Same problem here. Followed the extremely slow ship until it hit a structure. It just got stuck there and the mission never completed. Had to drop it.

    Had to drop this. Went to the circle, didn't even see a ship, and my log switched to "defend the allied ship". No ship, No hostiles, can not complete as intended.

    Ditto. I thought it was me failing to comprehend, there are other missions in there too that make no sense or are missing waypoints so you just cruise in circles and back and forth looking for the mission progression area.

    Another day, same problem. Bird of prey I found in the circled area just sits there. Nothing happens.

    Same for me, I've had this mission from Command a few times, either there's a ship there that just goes in circles or there's no ship there at all

    There#s just a bug with a ship constanly warping in and dissapearing instantly, just to warp in again. Stuck on "Defend ship". Always.

    I'm a step behind, I get to area, the altitude marker vanishes as I near the circle, when I get in the circle that vanishes and nothing happens, have flown from top to bottom in the area and nothing ever happens.

    So frustrating flying from one corner to the other for nothing to happen, even more frustrating is trying to find a different mission by dropping it and Hailing Joint command hoping for a different mission.

    Please sort it out, very annoying!

    Update: While typing this, in game it actually updated. Now in same position as OP, I have to defend nothing apparently!

    I have the same experience, no ship, nothing. Please fix!

    Same here... I fly to the circle and no ship.
    But now it gets really annoying: I drop the mission and get as next mission the same one, and again. And again..
    So far I have dropped the mission 30 times and still only get "Find Missing Ship" as task.

    Tried it again after last patch, still bugged. The REALLY annoying thing about this mission is not that its bugged, that's bad enough. But when you drop it and try to take a different mission you seem to have a very large chance of getting the same mission over again, and over and over. Yesterday I had to drop it 8 times to get a different one, 12 times today. If they can't (or won't) fix the mission you would think they could at least either remove it from the random rotation or at the VERY least reduce the chance of it being selected until it is fixed.

    I actually completed it the other day, it seems someone had dragged Voth into the missing ship area, destroying them pushed the mission through!

    I can not believe this mission is still bugged and now with no "daily" anymore I can not play the space zone at ALL because it is the only mission that pops up.

    Hah you didn't think Cryptic is actually capable of fixing bugs did you? Just look at this game.

    And to contribute to the thread I have the same bug. Dropping the mission to retake it just meant I was no longer able to acquire the mission. GG Cryptic! :rolleyes:

    While historically most bug reports get ignored I thought I'd go through the motions anyway:
    "Your question has been received. Due to high ticket volumes at this time, we will respond to your question as soon as possible."

    High volume you say? I wonder why. Perhaps Sherlock Holmes can solve this mystery.

    Yeah pretty sad when you are in the 2mill range for bug report tickets. Oh and this mission has never been fixed since I first got it on day 1 of S8's release. No ship means no mission completion there Cryptic.
