"Better with Friends" Vadwauur not spawning in Farn System

I've tried playing the "Better with Friends' patrol in the Farn system ("Preying upon the weak") twice unsuccessfully. In both instances I can fight two waves (of five according to the mission log) Vadwauur but no more spawn after the second wave. I've tried going to all corners of the map, waiting where I am for 10 minutes, and flying around the planet, but nothing makes the 3rd or subsequent waves spawn.

I'm having the same issue. From what I can tell it looks like there are spawns occurring at the same time (more ships) but only 'counting' as one.
[EDIT] Never mind. For my separate problem, you have to return to an exact spot on the map, which is very hard to discover, as the battles can take you far from the original spawn point. There should really be a Z scale on the minimap, as there is just enough three-dimentional space in STO to get vertically lost.
Update: As it turns out, the issue is apparently related to the one giannicampanella reported above, in that you have to stay in a certain area of the map in order for the ships to respawn. Specifically, you have to be near the area where the two Cooperative ships are at the start of the mission. On the minimap, that is in the square just below and to the right of the "center" of the map. As for the Z-axis, the way to reckon is to stay near the planet's rings. As long as you're near the rings, and within that square of the minimap, all the Vaadwaur ships should spawn.
The above information is useful to players as a workaround to the bug, and should also be useful to the devs to help pin down the specific nature of the bug.

No more Vaadwaur.
Same here. Mission still bugged and no consistent workaround.
Second time I attempted this patrol I got through wave 2/5 then had to find the spawns for wave 3/5 with Borg in tow. Borg stopped responding to combat even when attacked themselves, just sat there and watched the light show while repairing but NOT fighting, and I was all by my lonesome for waves 3, 4, and 5 (which I had to search for each time, trying to remember where on the map the original spawn point was and NOT go up or down on Z axis). Each wave that did spawn seemed to spawn when the last ship of the previous wave reached around 20%. The mission finally completed with the final ship (heavy artillery) still having, again, around 20% health and was still in combat while dialog window popped up.
It's still absolutely broken, 5/17. 4 months later.
Just try to stay "under" the planet, on the side of the rings where you started. If mobs don't spawn right away, fly around in circles under the planet, "south" of the rings.
