Possibly a completely random event , but I thought I would post and see if anyone has seen anything similar .

There still seems to be a very sporadic bug similar to that reported above. It happened to me while running an escort at the weekend when a serco player in GR suddenly appeared in my group, much to his surprise. JE just reported his voy being combined with another players HS mission.

One clue might be the incident which Momerath took a log of a couple of weeks back where neither Tsreknor nor I were in any group, but a voice channel opened between us and stayed open until closed by forming then leaving a group.

I appreciate that rare random bugs are a nightmare to track down. At the moment with the relatively small playerbase it is easy for the players to just put it down to randomness, ungroup and end the mission.

The point of posting is to raise it as a bug to be aware of and to initiate a thread for other players to add any information which might help in identifying the problem.
