ok, just found a new one.. were BPing in a 4 person group and the mission ran out. 2 people both took the mission at the same time.

the game decided we needed to kill 24 bots instead of 12

each bot killed counted as 2 kills, not 1

when one of the players lost connection and was re-added he added 6 bots not 3

the bots spawned normally

to players in the station it showed 2 active missions

i'm gonna post the mission parts of my log, starting when the mission was taken.

[09/07/05 22:06:53] ffff00(group) [Deneb C-10] <Spellcast> no more exploitable than the join/leave bug
[09/07/05 22:07:02] ffff00(group) [Geira Rutilus O-4] <Soulcatcher> Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

[09/07/05 22:07:02] 00ff0015 Itani down, 9 to go.

[09/07/05 22:07:26] 0050f0[100]<Aneubis> What if you said everything you say is a lie
[09/07/05 22:07:34] ffff00(group) [Deneb C-10] <Spellcast> and each kill is still only counting for 1

[09/07/05 22:07:40] ffffffYou invited yakyuk to your group.
[09/07/05 22:07:47] You are entering Deneb B-12
[09/07/05 22:07:47] 00ff00Proceed to Deneb System, Sector C-10. You will be given further instructions upon arrival.
[09/07/05 22:07:52] ffff00(group) [Deneb B-12] <Spellcast> r&r
[09/07/05 22:08:02] ffff00(group) [Geira Rutilus O-4] <RelayeR> correct...and the normal 15
[09/07/05 22:08:02] ffffffyakyuk is now a member of the group.
[09/07/05 22:08:23] You are entering Geira Rutilus O-4
[09/07/05 22:08:23] 00ff00Proceed to Deneb System, Sector C-10. You will be given further instructions upon arrival.
[09/07/05 22:08:31] ffff00(group) [Geira Rutilus O-4] <yakyuk> omw
[09/07/05 22:08:36] ffff00(group) [Geira Rutilus O-4] <RelayeR> it will probably roll over into the other mission when done
[09/07/05 22:08:45] ffff00(group) [Geira Rutilus O-4] <Spellcast> hmmm wait
[09/07/05 22:08:48] ffff00(group) [Geira Rutilus O-4] <Soulcatcher> Hmm
[09/07/05 22:08:52] ffff00(group) [Geira Rutilus O-4] <Spellcast> was i the only one in the sector?
[09/07/05 22:08:53] ffff00(group) [Geira Rutilus O-4] <Soulcatcher> Wait a minute...
[09/07/05 22:09:02] ffff00(group) [Geira Rutilus O-4] <Spellcast> it IS counting each kill twice
[09/07/05 22:09:05] ffff00(group) [Geira Rutilus O-4] <Spellcast> thats kinda neat
[09/07/05 22:09:13] ffff00(group) [Geira Rutilus O-4] <Soulcatcher> Relayer, you took it as soon as the mission board reset, right?
[09/07/05 22:09:14] ffff00(group) [Geira Rutilus O-4] <Spellcast> lets see what reward it gives
[09/07/05 22:09:26] ffff00(group) [Geira Rutilus O-4] <RelayeR> correct
[09/07/05 22:09:42] ffff00(group) [Geira Rutilus O-4] <Soulcatcher> Ok
[09/07/05 22:09:44] ffff00(group) [Geira Rutilus O-4] <Soulcatcher> I wonder what the tolerance is on this... like how big our window is to take the mission.
[09/07/05 22:09:56] ffff00(group) [Geira Rutilus O-4] <Soulcatcher> I'm also kind of laggy today, that probably factored in.
[09/07/05 22:10:08] ffff00(group) [Geira Rutilus O-4] <Spellcast> whatever the server lag between person 1 and the mission being acknowledged

[09/07/05 22:10:19] You are entering Deneb B-12
[09/07/05 22:10:20] 00ff00Proceed to Deneb System, Sector C-10. You will be given further instructions upon arrival.

[09/07/05 22:10:25] ffff00(group) [Deneb B-12] <Spellcast> i wonder if artificially lagging your machine would let you recreate
[09/07/05 22:10:42] ffff00(group) [Geira Rutilus O-4] <Soulcatcher> Hmm
[09/07/05 22:10:57] ffff00(group) [Deneb B-12] <Spellcast> no probably not
[09/07/05 22:10:59] You are entering Deneb C-10
[09/07/05 22:10:59] 00ff00Attack and destroy any Itani pilots you see.
[09/07/05 22:11:00] ffff00(group) [Geira Rutilus O-4] <Soulcatcher> I got the mission right after it reset. It might have been just good timing.
[09/07/05 22:11:09] ffff00(group) [Deneb C-10] <Spellcast> because the server will have record of the mission
[09/07/05 22:11:21] ffff00(group) [Geira Rutilus O-4] <Soulcatcher> Maybe if we both open up a window to choose whether or not to accept?
[09/07/05 22:11:21] ffff00(group) [Deneb C-10] <Spellcast> hmm serco bot here
[09/07/05 22:11:36] ffff00(group) [Geira Rutilus O-4] <RelayeR> trader?
[09/07/05 22:11:44] ffff00(group) [Deneb C-10] <Spellcast> nope

[09/07/05 22:12:56] ffff00(group) [Deneb C-10] <Spellcast> and my kills are counting double

[09/07/05 22:13:29] ffff00(group) [Deneb C-10] <Spellcast> and some fucking itani must have taken the mission cause theres a serco bot here

[09/07/05 22:13:45] ffff00(group) [Deneb C-10] <Spellcast> god this thing is throwing off my aim

Strange

Have you been able to duplicate this bug? It definetly sounds exploitable but very unintentional. I would advise everyone to avoid trying to do this on purpose.
