Hello everyone 
Yesterday i joinded the portal and logged into FL multiplayer server. I found a strange bug twice.
I've taken missions to eliminate hostiles, but one of enemy ships just got disappeared during fight. I don't know, maybe it ran out, but the result was i couldn't fihish missions and had to abort its. All i got was the mission waypoint and empty space around, with nobody... What's that?
Many thanks.
Try not to ram your enemies, if you ram them at full speed you can sometimes catapult them right out of the mission zone.
When is NPC heavily damaged, he can run away but my experience is, he return to fight shortly (but is true not in all cases). But this behaviour I observed mainly in normal NPCs hunts in Dervon or Inner Core sectors.
Dunno, maybe during missions this can work differently. To temporary fix this I suggest use CD (Mosquito best) and do not allow damaged NPC left. For technical help, advices we need wait for OP or Huor. In all cases I think this problem is first time reported.
Whiskyrunners_Inc.: thx! ... forget that this can happen.
hehehe ..... i had find that problem to 
But i dont post it

Thank you, i'll try.

Do you mean just to put FL CD into PC before playing?
Anyway, sirs, thanks a lot for your advices. I'll monitor the problem and if it would raise again, i'll report. Also i think i can make a FRAPS or just a screenshot to confirm the problem, if it would be needed.
ROFL ... this offered me nice laugh, thx Caballero
CD = Cruise disruptor (damaged NPC can't cruise away)
... if he (NPC) start cruise, he can left mission zone and dissappear. ... only guess
ROFL ... this offered me nice laugh, thx Caballero
Ahahah damn )) I understand now You know, i hadn't played FL so many years, so i forgot everything including local slang 
Anyway, i prefer to use torpedos instead of CD. "Starkiller" is only way to kill NPC quickly - i found that in Crossfore mod all missions are much more hard to complete than in standart FL NPC became dangerous!

Uuhh ! to kill these fighter NPC with torpedo ... only in kinda "Stuka"-fashion 
And "dangerous" ? To put it mildly, if you're "trained only" on vanilla (standard) FL, then there are NPC out there, that will RIP YOU APART in no time 
...beside some real human pilots on pvp
ENJOY
You're completely right I lost all my skills in FL because i played it too many years ago...
I mean "dangerous NPC" in cause their shields regenerates very fast, and also they use batteries and nanobots, like players. It makes fighhting against NOC much more interesting, but hard )
As Whiskyrunners said, if you bump into an enemy ship occasionally they will be slingshot far away, sometimes if you wait around 2-3 minutes they come back but sometimes they dont, thats what it would be happened to me tons before i realised
I experienced this after the last update. I believe OP said something like there were probloms with npc behaviour in that they were not doing what they were designed to do and that the update was to fix this. It could be that it is npcs using the cloaking device.
nope, did not mean something like that

I never seen NPCs getting slingshotted away, but I seen me/the player getting slingshotted away cus of the aliens in Inner Core Never heard it either, it must be a 1.9 thing O.o
I have had it happen multiple times ( most common on my character with battleship) when enemies fly into me sometimes they come to a halt for 1-2 seconds then spin instantly disappear leaving only the jet stream to where they have been shot off too 
Yeah, when YOU are the capital ship, it can happen
