1.20 BUG Mission: Escape Plan bugged

[Puupi]

The freighter I am escorting out of the system stops when the two criminal ships attack it. When I kill the criminals the freighter remains still, it doesn't move at all. Stuck on that mission. Tried to do it twice, same issue both times.

I had the same thing, so i will now share my solution.

When the ship stops and the hostiles are dead. You have actually completed it. You can go ahead and just leave the system, when you get back to your station in Grand Exchange, the mission will update and continue.

You can also kill the freighter (after it has stopped moving and the hostiles are dead), then the mission will instantly update and continue, but you will ofc loose a little rep.

Exit the sector after mission update and say got to unknown station

Tried everything. Shoot the ship. New ship spawned, but stops at any other location. I never saw enemie ships. Iam back at my HQ but the Mission doesnt end. Any other solutions?

I also have this, in 1.21.

The ship I am supposed to escort always seems to lock up (stop moving forever) when it gets near to the point where it would be docking with the station. I understand that it is supposed to dock at the station, leave, and then get attacked, however I have not even managed to get that far.

I have tried the obvious stuff, going OOS, going back to HQ, etc, but nothing makes a difference. Have tried destroying the ship, another ship spawns after a short while, but it just does the same thing.

I notice that there are quite a lot of ships 'frozen' around the station in question (Argon Equipment dock, in Black Hole Sun IV).

Strange, i completed the mission again just earlier today (New save for.. reasons..) and i used this very method

As soon as the ship stopped and i had killed the hostiles, i flew back to the PHQ and the boron told me to head to the elevator, i went to the research room and talked to him, then the mission completed and gave me the next mission in the chain.

@lurker and maybe @metromax2033:

So the "Frozen" Ships and your Problem with not docking is a seperate Bug.
Me and others post it in THIS Thread.

The Problem from the other ppl here are a well known storymission glitch.

I am on "Fly to sacred relic" step. I fly there - mission doesn't update. Whaaaaaaaa....
