hmm.... three times so far this afternoon I've had escort missions "complete" as soon as I take them... maybe because I'm in a group, but one still worked just fine... I'll comb through my logs later to see if any messages popped up..

edit: I noticed "this mission has already started: a bug that will be fixed soon" in my Advancement Logs.. wasn't that taken care of?? did something else make it recur??

Deliverator crashed causing an unsynching of the mission menus and what missions were actually available; restarting the whole server would sync it, but I generally let it become synced over time as station sectors restart.

There are some fundamental architectural changes that need to take place to prevent this sort of thing (both the crash and the unsynching), and we're working toward them as much as we can while also improving the game in a more player-visible way.

In the meantime, if you run into problems like this, you can often get my attention quickly by saying ' momerath ' or ' deliverator ' (note the spaces- my irc client doesnt always notice it otherwise) in channel 100 (even if I'm not visibly online). I can then sync that sector, and make sure you can take the mission you wanted.

Do sectors with player bots ever restart?

thanks a ton, Mom :D (hmm, that sounded a bit strange.. we need to get you a new nickname, I think.. :o )

how about rath??

spuck: not unless we kick 'em.
