Paymaster Quest

[TGHO]

Hi All,

Having trouble with the Paymaster quest - I get to the point where you have to return to the pirate station to "payback" the Paymaster. I arrive, the Paymaster does his "gasp, you're back", a fight breaks out, the MSF arrive, the pirate fighters are shot down, the quest fails.

What am I missing here? Reading the boards, it seems as though transports are meant to spawn, I am not seeing these at all. Tried a couple of different things - attacking the pirate base (seems to do nothing), attacking the MSF (they ignore my attacks), flying away from the combat and searching the sector (can't find anything).

Any ideas? Thanks very much.

Cheers,
TGHO
