test pilot missions bugs
Ok, a few bugs in the test pilot missions, starting with #1:
apparently, if you hit a storm en route to the mission to 'follow the nav points and kill the drones' the mission fails to spawn the drones.
i'll add more as i progress.

If there is another player in the target sector, the mission does not spawn the drones.
Apparently, in Mission #3, part two, if the explosion of a bot you kill happens to kill another bot, ... <snip>
(Edit - Darn it. Incarnate reported it in the General thread.)
Secondly, would it be possible to scale down the number of bots (and, to compensate, replace some of them with harder ones like Prosus or Arklans)? It's exceedingly difficult (if not impossible) for players with average-to-high ping to deal with so many bots in close proximity (as said previously, bots teleporting around, not being able to see shots, etc).

Ok, I just had a go at Mission #3, Part 2. I made sure that there weren't any "sympathetic" explosions by splitting each bot off from the rest before I killed it. Still, no message. Upon returning to the station (after passing through an ion storm on the way), the mission was still active, and had to manually abort it. (Resulting in another bug: http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/2/13306 )
TC: I ran into the same thing.
I took the mission five times before it worked.
The first time, my escorts got in the way and turned on me. I had to run hone and abort to avoid killing them or being killed.
The second time, I killed all bots in the first and second sectors, but one in the second sector exploded along with the one I had shot, and the mission never ended.
The THIRD, FOURTH and FIFTH times, I killed the necessary bots in the first sector (only 5?) before moving on to the second, and then made sure to drag bots away from the main group before killing them. None detonated other bots with their explosions, yet still the mission never completed until the fifth try.

Im not sure if this has anything to do with bots explosions killing other bots but, if i kill all the bots in the mission and i wait for more orders (wich should come afer you've killed the drones)the mission does'nt do anything i have to go back to the station and retake the mission and evan then it won't do anything aftrer the drones are killed.
