Missing ships in Incursions

Bit of a noob question and no doubt it was fixed in later Alpha's but does anyone else sometimes get to a wave in the Incursions scenario where no ships appear? (I'm on 1.1 as part of the premium beta.)

This has happened to me a couple of times at wave 7 (the Sidewinder and 2 x Federal Fighters). :rolleyes:

This was reported several time in the forum. The assumption was made that this could be caused by flying too far away from the initial combat area. Do you use "fly backward tactics" to destroy enemy ships?

No, not even tried that yet. Once I destroy the last ship in any wave, I keep flying straight ahead. The next wave is announced and the jump points appear in front. Only, when the problem occurs, no jump points or ships appear. Have to quit out and restart.

Must admit, I've found the new waves always conveniently jump in straight ahead of me. As soon as you've downed the last ship in a wave, boost ahead to close range on the soon-to-be-incoming new ships (unless you need to recharge shields or something...)

Yes, this is usually because you flew out of range of some of the ships in the wave and they 'despawned' (probably), meaning you never actually 'complete' the wave. Perhaps you are using 'jousting' tactics? I thought that wave has 2 sidewinders and a pair of federals...

If I remember correctly, Wave 7 has a Sidewinder with 2 Federal Fighters, Wave 8 - 4 Federal Fighters, Wave 9 - 3 Sidewinders and 1 Federal Fighter. I have never had any problems with enemies that do not spawn, although I always face my enemies head on so as Brumster has mentioned all enemies appear right in front of me after the last ship of the previous Wave was destroyed.

I managed to complete all the levels for the first time tonight and the only time I have had issues is when I have flown to far away from the ships jumping in.
