are assassination / alt reward missions still bugged

is the bug still prevailing where if you get the alternative mission option before finding the assassination targets location then you can never find them?

It seems so.

I took one last night, got offered the alternative and couldn't find the target, so I assumed so. That or I was being far too impatient.

Yes, although it's not consistent, and even without the counter-offer it may take a while to actually find the target. Took me half an hour for one of them. The only guaranteed way of not receiving the counter-offer is to assault the one giving it to you.

The "kill pirates" mission is also bugged. Got one yesterday, killed 3/4 pirates, got the alt mission and was reset to having killed 0/4 pirates.

Guess I shouldn't have picked a fight with an asp having e5 shields in the first place though :)

I've often thought about killing the twerps who offer me the alternative mission but didn't want to get Wanted.. however I might try that next time, cheers

Yeah, it's basically got to the point where i have to ignore all missions like that. Hopefully the Powerplay update will reform the missions system enough to make them worthwhile.

I had one that went fine last night. My wingmate and I were docked at the same station and both accepted the same assassination mission from the bulletin board. We did not get the alternative --only the location of the target. We tracked him down and shared his bounty and both earned 158K when we turned the mission in. Pretty cool.

that's good to know! I just give them a single shot from my guns to make them hostile when I see the alternate mission guff they start to say.

Also, don't take too many at once as otherwise pretty much every time you drop into a USS it'll be an NPC offering you an alternative mission! I really hope they fix this with 1.3... You'd think a temporary solution to simply abolish the alternative mission that no one wants anyway would suffice

As I've already said we don't have to expect an update for this. With the 1.3 incoming and a new missions system, they are not going to resolve this, imo, BIG bug. And that's the problem with Frontier, their game is still a beta and the 1.2 and 1.3 updates should be there before the release. The game has many little bugs and there is nothing to do after few hours. Of course you can trade or RES until death... wonderful for such a promising game with giant universe.

Hope 1.3 will give some things to do like interactions with people and having something to build together rather than having 10 billion credits and trading and trading and RES again and again.

Oh and there is an update today but in fact the missions' bug is not a priority as it was assumed to be the 16th april :

I've popped this back on the list, it is being looked at as a matter of priority. :)
