Since the recent Operations update in Elite Dangerous, players have encountered several bugs affecting on-foot protect missions. Attacking NPCs frequently become stuck and stop moving after deployment, disrupting combat flow. Additionally, players report their suit consumables inventory appears empty when disembarking from the Apex, forcing an immediate recall to reload essential items. Some Operations progress is also blocked due to NPCs being locked behind deployment doors. These issues are impacting mission completion and player experience, prompting calls for a swift fix.
