Kill pirate lord missions still bugged?

[Iskariot]

Can anybody confirm?

Today I took on a mission to kill a dread pirate lord.
I took him out, but I did not get acknowledgement of the kill and cannot finish the mission.
Are others still experiencing this too?

I had hoped this bug would have been squashed, but it seems not.

I haven't seen this at all. As long as I find then in the correct system, it all works fine. I have, on the other hand, found that I can run across mission targets in the 'wrong' systems. They don't count.

I am in the right system alright. So that isn't it.

You have been doing these kill the pirate lord missions too then?
And had no problems at all?

 

[Mohrgan]

That's the case.

Did one last night without issue.

I've been taking all the pirate lord assassinations I can find (mixed with pirate hunts in the same systems), never experienced any bugs (post 1.3)

That is just plain weird.
I will try another one then. Perhaps I get lucky this time.

Good luck Commander.

There's a healthy dose of nonsense to these missions, yes. Last night I got 400K for ending a lone Novice Viper . Their shields and hulls also magically regenerate to full when they hit supercruise again. But I must have done a hundred without a single 'blocker' (like yours).

And you know what, I'm starting to kinda like the nonsense too it gives these missions a unique character and plays a big part in what ED is for me. Another day; another story.

Sorry, not much help I know. Good luck with the bug report!

I blasted a wanted wedding barge, plus the ushers who defended it in eagle's. As I opened fire on it I got a general comm message "If you wanted 1 of the 20 kettles, you just needed to ask".

That was awesome, on so many levels

I will.
And I will try to be as meticulous in describing the circumstances as possible.


EDIT.

In the end it turned out to be my mistake.
I have to say this was caused by the lack of feedback from the game. I did not get a mission finished, or updated message.
And in the transactions screen there was nothing to clearly indicate that the mission was considered finished.
