Stuck on this step of this mission where I need to, “Fly to the objective location, mine some ore and destroy the pirates that show up” Then kill the pirates to acquire the Production Assistant. Thing is I have gone to the location and have nearly mined the area clean, and no pirates. Is this bugged, or am doing something wrong, thanks ---

If you’re in the right location, you should just have to warp in, mine an asteroid, and within 10 seconds or so, a single pirate will show up. Shoot them, loot them, and done. Did you use the Warp to Location button in the tracker? I think there’s also an acceleration gate you need to use (maybe? I don’t recall). So, step 1, make doubly sure you’re in the right place and you’re in the mission pocket. If you are, then I’ve seen reports here on the forum of other mission issues lately, so you may have to submit a ticket. ---

Make sure you actually accepted the Agents mission offer… it’s easy to get in a rush and forget to do that, I’ve done it plenty of times… Can also select ‘Track’ after accepting the mission to enable an on-screen pull down notification showing mission status… DMC o7 ---
