Ok, I can take the pirate mission , and those weird missions are gone, but when you try and do the pirate mission in a group, only the guy who took it gets any of the mission text, or xp, ect.

Those missions aren't intended at the moment for you to make a group then take the mission. You need to each take the mission seperately.

Aha, thanks.

I took an escort mission from an Ineubis station in Bractus today, hoping to improve my Ineubis standing. I got the, "Meet your group in Bractus B-16" message and did so. The convoy spawned and turns out it was a Xang Xi convoy. There's not even a Xang Xi station in the sector. I completed the mission anyway, wondering if I would still get the Ineubis faction bonus, but it ended up increasing my Xang Xi faction.

Edit: This is repeatable. Seems the system thinks that the Ineubis station in bractus is Xang Xi.

Hehe, yea, I guess it does. I'll fix this particular one today. If anyone else has info about a similar discrepency...

So now the exploit of killing random corvus bots for faction has been fixed. However, when killing pirates during an escort mission with my convoy in the sector, I recieved credit for only the first pirate kill and then got nothing for any following pirate kills.

Note: This is not related to my Itani POS faction issue as this escort mission was taken from a different faction.

Yea, I've gotten several reports like this. I haven't been able to reproduce it myself, though, yet. Anyway, thanks for the report.

Still not getting credit for killing hive bots in the same sector as the convoy.
