A matter of respect -destroy rigged drones

[daymo12345]

im stuck on this mission, I cant seem to find any drones to destroy. After the informants ship is destroyed and the defence drones are destroyed my game is stuck on destroy rigged drones. Do I need to attack the destroyer Helanthias that show up ?

After the Nova has been destroyed, a few drones trigger. If these are destroyed, a second group triggers that must be destroyed. The guidance should automatically switch to the second wave. I would try the mission again.

I cant replay the mission now, I played it a couple of times with the same result, but then I carried on thinking my rep was too low. I think the Helianthus destroyer destroys the drones and I don't get the mission completed. The guidance to object does not show a path to any rigged drones. Does this mean I failed the mission ?

I added a game save so you could check it out.

What is your reputation. If you already got the mission it should be enough. The save is before the drones spawn?

[daymo12345]

rep is +25 with hop and +16 with paranid. The save is after the drones spawned and were destroyed, where im stuck on destroy rigged drones and there are no drones to destroy. nor does the guidance point to any.

[TVCD]

The reputation is sufficient, otherwise you would not have received the mission. Do you have a save before the mission?

[daymo12345]

unfortunately I saved over all saves from before the bug. but I did play the mission a few times with the same result when I did have that particular save.

[TVCD]

I understand. Problem is you saved when the bug was already there. If you load the save now the bug is available again. I suspect the second wave didn't trigger or was accidentally destroyed by something. Did you activate Auto Save? You should start the mission again.

I use quicksave just before I attempt an important mission, autosave writes over itself at some point.

[daymo12345]

auto save has overwritten past the point of the mission, I guess its a mission failure. not to worry ! and I think it was the mysterious destroyer, that kept on showing up and destroying the drones.

[TVCD]

The mysterious destroyer sends the drones.

[daymo12345]

seems it is also indestructible, but now its running amok, destroying paranid stations. I disabled it but I don't know how long it will last.

You cant seem to Board Helianthus either, "Impossible" Rating. Darn!

It is 2024 and this quest is till broken, my Helianthus deissapeared and im stuck on destroy defence drones. Unable t cancel or reset mission.

@ tantael: With no information or link to a vanilla save to conduct an investigation, what do you expect the devs to do about it?

Hi,

Is your game modded ? I completed these missions a few days ago without any problems.

Best regards

Hi, im on unmodded game (now on 7.0 beta because i hoped it will fix problem). Im still waiting on second wave of drones, but no lonoger to find that ship (hellsomething) -it dessapeared, i visited it 3 times to check if drones are ready to deploy withing period 3-24-72 h - now it is past around 100 h of gameplay from that point. There is no quest autopilot or smth.
