Am I missing something?

I am currently in Olympus and accept a mission that has 2 waypoints to patrol, states there should be 4 ships....

Now whatever I do I get an endless stream of ships attacking me at the first waypoint, I get that I can likely kill the first two then move to the next waypoint but is that really how your supposed to do this?

Similar issue with the main "quest line", it says defend this capital ship until it jumps, likely targets 4. Bollocks, having shot down 15 ships in some attempts and still not had the capital jump away im just sure something is going on that im not comprehending.

Are you trying to complete this particular one in Olympus in Multiplay online? or Single Play?
If Multiplay I suggest you try it in Single play. I believe since in Multiplay every one has alienated the Navy and Energy factions in Olympus, that Olympus is more hostile in Multiplay then in single play....but you still should be able to complete the missions in multiplay but it will be more difficult.

If the capital ship you are suppose to protect get dammaged to much it can not jump till its engine or jump drive gets repaired and that can take a long time in multiplay if you are trying to do this all by yourself. You could ask other players to help you with this particular quest in multiplay and should go very easy if you do this quest with 4 other players......

Download the latest test release and install. I've always had to fight off 4 reds ... and all their clan members. Until installing the latest release. Maybe it was just luck today but it's worth a try.

"Having Multiples of Hostiles during a combat contract/mission is not that uncommon especially with an escort mission"....I always expect twice as many as stated. There are a good amount of times that I get the specific amount stated and then during combat the reinforcements show up

....You can take on an Escort by yourself but make sure you have missiles and that you take on the Hostile nearest the escort ship. Olympus is the easiest place to do a Escort mission by yourself in SP....When your in MP ask someone to help you complete the contract with you....by the by the Ai's are tougher in MP then in SP

As for taking on 4 hostiles contract I target the nearest immediately after arriving and let loose a missile then turn IDS off and turn around and target the nearest one and let loose a missile again...then repeat going the other way....Then Jump to the new nav point when you get the text of a new one on screen...with practice you will take them out with ease

Ships call in backup from nearby sectors, so this kind of thing will happen in systems where you have a hostile rep
