VR challenge mission

Its broken.

I exit the station, get forced to frame shift to a system, get interdicted, and then there is nothing there.

No frame shift ability, nothing in feasible range, and nobody to fight.
 
This is the introduction to VR mission in the challenge scenarios, part of the training menu. If I remember correctly, there are some convoy wings and an outpost once you have been interdicted - get close to them and there should be some pirates to take out. I think after I killed 2 then the scenario ended. You may have to scan the ships to see which ones are wanted because I recall they weren’t attacking the convoys.

Ah, that clears up that mystery.

Sorry OP, I can't help you - I've never played the training missions, I don't think we had them when I started to play the game.

Thanks, I'll have a look and see how it goes.
 
I’ve just had a chance to check and my earlier response is incorrect, the VR mission no longer functions as per the last time I played it (last summer, when I purchased my Rift).

As in the OP, once interdicted there is an empty instance. I’ve tried waiting for a few minutes and also looking around trying to spot any distant ships, but without success. I’ll submit a bug report.
 
i'm curious. does 'vr' stand for virtual reality in this context? what about that mission is specific to vr?

Yes, it does. I think it’s meant as a “wow” introduction, so a nice big cockpit to look around, an Anaconda slowly floating overhead once you leave the hangar, bit of shooty-bang etc. It’s (or was) a good scenario to let other people have a go on your VR rig with, some things are automatic, like raising landing gear.

I’ve submitted the report: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...o-not-working-correctly?p=6937593#post6937593
 
Fixed in the latest patch - interdiction drops you near an outpost with some convoys and 3 pirate Eagles. 2 jumped out after taking hull damage, destroyed the third then the scenario ended.
