This quest needs improvement. As it stands players need to loose their sleep over it:(

Quest says to prepare for pirate attacks after you deliver res to Montana.
1) Should specify where and when (i.e planet who accepts reward, 5 hrs after accepting it)
2) How many pirate waves to expect (4, each one 24 hrs later than the previous). A counter should keep track of completed/remaining waves (ie 1/4)
3) Quest says "expect incoming attack. Prepare to defend to defend yourself". Defend from what? Terran attacks starting at 300K pts, all the way up to 1.1M pts.

HTH

I think it comes between 11 am and 12 server time.
If I remember right.

Hmm, I didn't know. In my case they started at 9 am, reaching my planet 12 noon, and waiting another 2 hrs to gather debris b4 FS.
For some players, like me, that's way past their bedtime:(
You need a 5 hr window for these attacks. It would be better if attack times were initially adjusted to either 12 noon or 12 midnight
