1.32 Bug - Boron Freighter Escort Mission

[Evollusion]

Started a brand new 1.32 game today. The mission to escort the freighter while the Boron moves to the player owned station appears to be bugged for me. The freighter docks with the station fine, but when it undocks and the 2 ships chasing it spawn, they do not spawn red/aggroed and instead of having the "criminal" designation they are classified as "civilian". They just fly around the freighter aimlessly and the freighter never leaves the sector, effectively preventing the mission from completing.

Tried shooting them in this non-aggro state, and get a reputation hit and the freighter still won't exit the system. SETA'ed for about 2 hours of game time with it just aimlessly flying around.

Has the Boron commed you saying he/she has docked at your unknown station yet?

I ran into that bug as well in 1.32, what I did after the Boron told me it was onboard my station was dump a pair of heavy torps into the freighter I was supposed to be protecting. You take a small rep hit for one shotting the freighter (-2 or -3 points I think?) but once the freighter is space dust the mission advances like normal and tells you to dock at the player station and go to the science lab to meet with it and advance the story.

Saved game prior before this happens but with mission active would be more helpuful also any system specs would help them get this bug identified faster.

I don't have a save game prior to the issue, however I can provide a bit more info?

The mission seemed to be proceeding as normal (I've play through it without a hitch in the 1.1 version) however right after it launched with the 2 split ships a Paranid patrol intercepted the freighter to scan it for illegal cargo, the ship stopped while being scanned, they said it had illegal cargo and ordered them to dump it, which they said they did, but no cargo was actually dumped, and then the ship carried on like usual (and still had the spaceflies on board according to my scan of the ship)

So what I think happened was the police scan interrupted the previous script and then instead of resuming it defaulted to the basic orders for the ship, which in this case is apparently to fly around the sector doing squat.

Pretty much the same here, only the 2 Split spawned with proper relations but the freighter isn´t moving. At all.

Did blowing up the freighter fix things for you?

It did.
