Long-standing, annoying mission issues. Hard to fix ?.

Hello everyone.

I, like not a few other people round here, run missions on a kinda regular basis, and thus happen to experience a few annoying bugs pretty often.
Some of you guys might have bumped into those already and maybe you didn't think much of them, yet, having spent some time on missions, they are really starting to irk me ( maybe I happen to have a really low threshold, I don't know ! ).
I'll list some of them in no particular order:

1) having to check gates' proximity prior to initiating warp : sometimes I end up smack inside a gate, yet not close enough to get bumped away: if I activate the gate in this instance, I end up stuck trying to warp and can't even manually stop my ship.
Sometimes the bump away speed ain't even enough to clear the gate, and I still have to manually move away a little bit.

2) Enemy npcs get stuck on far away structures/assorted mission clutter
example : the far away battleship group in the 1st room of the gurista " the assault " mission ( 110-120 km away )
example 2 : npcs in the "pirate invasion" mission

3) Npcs bounce off something and start heading away at an amazing speed ( up to 5 km/sec )
Examples :
1) The assault mission . Got a screenshot of a 244km away pith conquistador in room 2.
2) angel extravaganza room 1: Up to 150 km away
3) Pirate invasion : up to 200km away. ( between bugs 2 and 3 at times this one really is epic facepalm material )
4) smuggler interception room 1

As I only run 13 different mission types, that happens around 30% of the time.. pretty darn annoying.

4) In mission pop-up messages : it was all fine and dandy the first time ( maybe the second one too ), but now I would really like not having to read Anire Scarlet's empty threats or other Angel extravaganza assorted trash ever again.
Granted, this is not a bug, but still.

I've read quite a few interesting suggestions around here, so I won't bother to chime in with mine as well, yet, I'd really like to see these ( and other ) issues ironed out while them developers work on new and improved content.

What do you guys think ?.
Bye !.

I run missions to payoff my weekend PvP. I can confirm I've been having the same problems as you do. Ships getting stuck 100ks away when I'm 800 AC fit is really a PITA.

My scorpion navy issue lobs cruise missles about 170km.

It's annoying when NPCs being stuck in structures or bouncing 200km away is dismissed as "working as intended".

Bookmark a 30km Veldspar, then warp to it at zero in a large ship....bounce
