This mission is not aware of Hive Skirmish missions in progress.

Any of its three stages can lead you to a HS sector where the two missions interfere.

In the third stage of the mission, you are supposed to take down two bots. It is possible that the bots fighting HS mission hives kill the ones from your mission even before you reach them, failing your mission right before you finish it.

Update, you can also end in a stormy sector.

that's more a limitation of what we can do with missions and it is something I have suggested a fix for in one way or another several times.

Could the mission be re-tasked to a location where there isn't a dynamic hive? Or use empty sectors?

What was your previously suggested "fix", CS?

The mission editor is way overdue for an overhaul and the PCC forum has a long list of suggestions that need to be implemented. I know you guys just dont have the time right now but the editor is in fact preventing a lot of missions from being created.

Instead of bitching Im just going to say that when you guys are in fact ready to re write the editor just let us know and we will be happy to list all the features we could use....
