While on a mission, would another player be able to complete, highjack, or perhaps destroy your objective? Suppose you are sent to pick up a particular object, but when you arrive at the destination, you discover that it's gone.asked by The Tick

TL;DRIt depends on the mission type: persistent missions like a unique pirate lord can only be completed by one player or group, while other missions run in instances specific to each player.

Good question, I think that'd depend on the kind of mission, it's one of the things Tony Z and I are going back and forth about. We kinda think there'll be two different kinds of missions, those that are persistent and those that are instances. Persistent missions would be like if there was a pirate lord, and he only exists in one place at any time, and only one player or group of players would get to kill him, he wouldn't be killed in say 10 different instances. But there will definitely be missions that will be specific to you as a player, so you know, an idea would be you've got to fix a navigation satellite, perhaps that's a mission given to 20 different players, and the particular area where that satellite exists is an instance just for you, and each of the other players would also have individual instances for that satellite repair, there might be NPCs there, but it's player focussed.
