Do NPCs no longer interact with the carrier for anyone else while the CMDR is onboard? All I see is system security ships circling the carrier.

The same. I think someone suggested earlier in the thread that the inside of the carrier is a different instance, one in which no docking NPC ships spawn. Don't know if it's true.

Missions
  • New “Protect” missions ask Commanders to defend against criminals attacking delivery routes. These missions pose a new challenge in both combat difficulty (teammates recommended) and time-response required. To account for these, factions will offer higher sums than usual.

Oooook. Thanks and congratulations for allowing us to 'take a walk' inside our Fleet Carriers. I really liked it.

I also enjoyed the Protect mission (I believe I was one of the first lucky guys to get and complete one yesterday). I am a little sad because they are kindda hard to find, but that's ok. RNG, right

But now... let's talk about some discontentment regarding this new mission.
  1. Your description talks about "delivery routes", while there is none. The cargo loader is fixed in the settlement, it won't move. Yep, I expected the mission would require us to escort the cargo loader from point A to point B in the settlement. Where perhaps point B would be the ship where the cargo would be loaded.
  2. I even expected a little more (but perhaps that's my fault for dreaming too much). I expected that after the cargo was secure in the ship we would have to run to our ships and escort it in space until the final destination (in the same system, of course). But ok... a friend of mine said "well... you know... not everyone enjoys flying a ship". So... kindda of ok. We are not here to force any player to do this or that.
And now for a little suggestion on how to improve the game, creating at least one varation of the Protect mission:

Protect a VIP
  1. When the player reaches the target settlement, the mission starts (just like the Protect mission works now)
  2. The player (or one member of the team) has to find the VIP inside the settlement (settlement grounds or inside a building) and talk to him/her.
  3. After that the VIP should follow a route from that location to a place where a 'rescue ship' should land to pick him/her up
  4. Just like in the current Protect mission, hordes of hostiles will come to take the VIP down. Our mission is to protect/escort the VIP.
  5. Should combat happen close to the VIP, he/she would try and take cover behind objects or get into buildings (attention: these are behaviors already present in the game, so no need for big addition on the AI code, right?)
  6. When the area is 'clear', the VIP will resume the route to escape. Should new combat start, go back to step #5.
  7. After some time the rescue ship would land (before all waves of hostiles were cleared). The players would have to protect the VIP and the rescue ship.
  8. Even better if the waves of hostiles are kind of 'infinite'. That is, the mission ends (successfully) when the VIP boards the rescue ship. Only then the waves of hostiles stop.
That's it, and you don't even need to give a different name to the mission. It's just a variation of the PROTECT mission ;)

P.S. - I am sorry if anyone already posted an idea like this. Should it be the case, let me know and I will remove my reply.

Protect a VIP. Great proposal there. You havent played Mass Effect series then? Its full of these missions (amongst many others, as part of the story lines) and did it briliantly with out any of the clipping/performance/FPS bugs of ED.
And BTW you had FULL NPC interactions and team selection for each mission.

Try and imagine the ammount of Shield Grenades we might have to use to protect the VIP ;)
Perhaps some would use Scorpion SRVs to block the advance of hostiles (and shield the VIP)

So many possiblities

Someone suggested that you also try disembarking from the landing pad.

Not a lot of encouragement, I know, but anything is worth trying.

(I had the issue last night, but not this morning, so can't suggest anything else useful!)

Ouch.. It means that i got lucky.

After bragging yesterday that i was not hit by the disembark bug, today my Epic alt got it after installing the Pioneer Supplies.
Luckily for me, a quit to desktop sorted out.

Also - check if you get any message regarding the reason you cannot disembark - Gravity or Temperature notices would hint that you need to jump your carrier in a different location
