Can't Fly Missions

Post by Watchwolf »

OK, so I know this sounds weird, but I can't fly missions in any of my characters. I can browse and accept them, but I can't fly them. Instead one of two things happens. Either when I get to the mission waypoint nothing's there but the waypoint, or there is no waypoint, no info on the map page and no "Abort" button either. WHen there IS an abort button and I click it, the mission doesn't change.

This is on ALL my characters.

Ideas?

It happens all the time with me when I'm doing missions in Babylonia... I just put it down to a glitch. I wouldn't be able to tell you if it's more than one character though... I only have one character in Babylonia at one time. I've found that if it doesn't work in one system, when I travel for a bit they usually work in other places.

I've been having the same problem as well. One response I remember hearing is that "The missions were down for bug fixes and will be shortly back up." Don't know if that's accurate though.

"Ahhhh. I see..." he sagely said, with a rub of his chin.  :-? So THAT'S the Mission Bug. And here I thought it was just that little Volkswagen driven by the monk down in Capistrano.

"Hmmmmm..." he said with more sage.  :-? I wonder if this might be related to the recent spate of server crashes we've all been seeing, which I'm told might also be caused by a player using an older version of the mod.

This problem seams to be a random occurrences and has been happening since the Void 2115V3 Mod, they usually come back on again after a Void as shut down and restarted. I have found the best way around this is to go shoot at a base of a faction you don't like and tractor every thing they drop then sell it.

Ok here's maybe a really stupid question: Can you really blow up NPC bases when they are not part of a mission? I mean just go to for example Rochester and shoot the cr@p out of it until it blows up and drops stuff?

Sorry for the misunderstanding i meant that the NPC's of the faction of the base will come to the aide of the base in question.

And hey, recently Babylonia has been full to the brim with NPCs! I ran into about 3 sets of Fugitive scouts just outside the Alex jumpgate, then a set of Red Dragons (what the?), and then the obvious Pirates etc. hanging out outside that connection of trade lanes... Good stuff though, enjoying them a lot! Don't know what the Red Dragons are up to in Babylonia though...

Ooo and if you really want a challenge for the fun of it go shoot up a squad of Hel fighters in Hel-1, where their reinforcements just keep coming... Tough cookies!

It's happening!!  

The Blackhole Warp has breached Void's outermost defenses.  It wasn't a dream.  It happened!

Now all computer systems in Void will be forever befouled by this evil force.

The disappearance of that waypoint was not an halluciation.  It was real.  I thought it only happened to me.  I must tell what else i saw at the Blackhole Warp before it swallowed me up so long ago.

Even my good friend and wingman, Watchwolf, has experienced the evil force now running rampant in all of Void.

Nooooooooooooooo.  I scream at the pain!   The voices.

    "Cross over, Pit Viper."  

                                                                              "Bring your friends with you, Pit."

"Control the forces who have forsaken you, Pit Viper."

                                                                            "Cross over, Pit."  

           "Fly once again, in power! , with your old compatriate,  Fer de Lance, Pitt."

   "Fer de Lance is calling out for you, Pitt Viper."

     Arrrrrrghhhhhhhh.  

                                                     Pain.                                
                                 
                                                                                                                Pain.    

                       Pain.

                                                                               I scream again.

     
Pard, be warned, they want you toooooooooo!   They need Watchwolf......a Server Guard.  Guard your mind WW.  If Fer de Lance could not withstand the Evil Force, can we?
