I.M.G. mission in Sierra won't complete

Hi all. I've been doing the enemy ace contract in Sierra for the I.M.G. quest, however every time I destroy the ace and all of his wingmen the contract never completes. I've done dozens of ace missions before without ever encountering this problem. I'm positive that I've destroyed every ship required, even resorting to using a fulcrum torpedo to be double sure in my latest attempts. I've seen no ship jump out, but have searched for fleeing hostiles anyway. Also, I've tried jumping out of system to fail the contract, then taking it again, but the same thing happens. Has anyone run into this issue before, or does anyone have any thoughts as to what might be happening?

Yes. I had a similar problem. For some reason you think you destroyed the Ace but he really disappears. You destroy all the enemies and mission does not complete then all of a sudden after a few minutes waiting in the area the Ace you thought you destroyed reappears you destroy him again and the mission completes.

I had this happen several times. I kill the Ace first with a volley of excalibur missiles and then kill the rest with cannons and lasers and mission will not complete till I hunt down the Ace that I thought I had destroyed. You can use a sensor station to hunt down the Ace......

I do not think it was intended to work this way but it would be kind of cool if Vice did intend for it to work this way. It is like the Ace fakes his destruction and you have to hunt him down.....

Or he bails from his ship and is rescued by a buddy. It's happened to me too. So I try to not kill the ace until last.

I am also in this mission, I kill the ace and all the enemies but I have the battleship, not to destroy the one ... how to destroy a battleship?

Target engines (using U default) and strafe back and forth using laser to bring shields down.
Then hit him with particle guns should to the trick. You can also hit him with
some missiles after the shields are down. This is only one of the techniques you can use.

Good luck!;)
