Border Skirmish has been pretty messed up lately. Sometimes I'll be in the middle of a mission and the server will close the connection. When I come back, there are only Serco/Itani ships there and nobody from the other side shows up.

Today it started randomly adding me and John Eldritch to the border skirmish group even though neither of us was taking the mission. If I leave the group, it will just add me back. Logging off and then back on doesn't seem to help.

Also today, while Kosher was destroying some Itani ships, (there were no serco ships there) it started printing "hudtext" before and after messages. See the screenshot.

I dunno if this was supposed to be fixed while Skirmishes were down, but this issue has popped up for me as well now. Whats more, not only will the mission seemingly not end (even while it says I have no mission and keeps automatically joining me to a group), it's now referring to me as "NIL", and I don't get any credit for my kills.

Odd, neh? Anyways, do whatever you dev wizards do, and I salute you!

Lovely. Thanks for the report.
