hostage rescue bugs

Sep 06, 2004 Spellcast link
just did a hostage rescue mission, (or 2 to be exact) found a few interesting problems.

mission attempt #1
Reach target sector, get jumped by sentry and 5 mission specific bots. sentry is annoying so i blow it up. the mission bots turn around and leave. mission is over, but no message concerning that. Also, what are the pirate bots doing in a sector with rouge AI bots, wouldnt the AI bots attack them since they are still "humans'

Mission attempt #2.
reach sector, jumped by 1 gaurdian and 5 mission bots. learned not to shoot non-mission bots, so i blow up a pirate and then manage to disable the target with the hostage. ok cool the bots drop the hostage and scram, I get a message that i need to collect the "cargo" containing the hostage and return to base. At the same time i get my XP and 'mission complete' info. Blow up gaurdian, (once again, can we put the mission bots in an empty sector somewhere?, maybe in another system so that 30 minute time limit means something. how about a list of sectors "We believe they are hiding in Sol II B4 or one of the sectors around it")
Anyway, get back to station, but the mission is allready over, so now i have a hostage in my cargo bay and i cant even sell him for money. :) he's not worth anything, what kind of a lame hostage is he anyway, what were they hoping to ransom him for cookies?
