I know this has a lot of topics going back years.

But I've failed to complete this mission twice and it's become an obsession

I turn up at the 3 branch acceleration gates. I jettison cans and I make sure I go to all 4 gates. I wait around the gates, I go to every gate using every pattern possible and I spend an hour basically jumping between gates and I can't see the alien.

I've set my overview to spot absolutely everything. I've done everything the old posts say and yet......

Does anyone have any advice not in a previous forum or am I destined never to finish this mission?

Thanks in advance for the help.

It happened to me about two times ages past.
If you warped more than 5-10 times from each node to each other, waiting a min, just file a petition.
Did it a lot more than that, the rest it went just fine.
Go figure. Roll

"We want PvE activities to require active participation and mirror PvP more closely." Stacking penalty for NPC EWAR then? Lock range under 9km from over 100 in a BS is not fun. Nor is two NPC web drones making me crawl 10m/s. PvP SW-900 x5: 75m/s.

It's broken. I had to ask a GM to complete the mission for me.

Likewise here. I petitioned it asking the GM to see if he could complete it for me so I could get on with the rest of the mission and all he's done is delete it, so I go speak to the agent again and she's gone and given me the same mission again. So I'm stuck again now... Great.

If you accepted the mission and got stuck because the mysterious ship isn't there, I'd suggest to do other stuff and come back after the next server downtime. When I did this I found the ship waiting for me and was able to complete the mission.

i just stuck on same mission though i spent like 12 min jumping arround gates. Judging by number of problems reported wouldn't be more wise for CCP to lock somehow this mission to not be available untill properly fixed? I mean otherwise GM will be unnecessary bothered to fix that manually.

"Known Issue" - Personally I don't see why they don't just disable it until they get round to fixing it.

Same problem for me. I tried it once yesterday unsuccessfully, finally cancelled it this morning and tried again with no luck. I'll not cancel it and take a look after server reset tomorrow and see that works. If not, will be a petition. Sad


Addendum on 10 Jan 13:

Nothing suggested in this thread worked for me, including waiting for server reset, cancelling and restarting, etc. Nothing I did, no matter how much time I spent zooming around the warp gates, etc. caused the Unidentified Ship to appear.

I petitioned and received a reply immediately from a GM:

"There is a known bug on the Mysterious Sightings (3 of 4) mission that we are currently working on. In the meantime, I have cleared this mission for you so that you will now be able to approach the Agent and get the next mission in the series. We apologize for this inconvenience."

By "cleared this mission" he means cancelled in its entirety. By "get the next mission in the series" he does not mean completed step 3 for me and I can go on to step 4.

Thus, I suggest that no one should take this Mysterious Sighting mission series until it's fixed. (I got no eta on a possible fix.)

I did request that the mission series be blocked from being picked up by anyone until it was fixed, but with no response to that specific request.

Jan 16th, 2013, problem is still not fixed and the mission has not been blocked. Sad I'm guessing canceling is the only fix right now?

I warped around in circles for 20 minutes, dropped cans, visited every deadspace, no luck.

GM set the mission to complete for me and I was able to turn it in.

This is the goal, when you stuck at the Mission.

Bugged mission is bugged. Waste of time to ask help from a GM compared to just removing the mission.
