The Constraint: "Plunder a Hunter Ship."
Doesn't ping. I did it once. Didn't finish the mission. Did it again with a second Hunter ship.
I'm about to go pay off the Officer right now, see if it pings then.
If not, I'll replay it and see if it pings THEN. For now though, this is angering me :/

Are you implying, Sir, that there is a glitch? In a Ubisoft game???

I just got to this mission... But I'm not full syncing the first time through, especially on naval missions, because the optional objectives still pop up too inconspicuously to see and still be immersed in world.

Wait - there's still optional objectives AGAIN? Seriously? What the fuck, Ubisoft.

Optional objectives would be fine... if they didn't dynamically show up in the middle of a fight or flight sequence and instead were at the beginning of the mission so you were aware of them... (eg, tackle a guy a certain way objectives that pop up once he's already running away. are you going to stop and read the optional objective? or chase the mofo?)

They appear at the beginning of missions, or the beginning of objectives.
And if you fail them, it doesn't Ping the failure.
Awesome.

I got it on my first real try. Make sure to get the hunship BEFORE finishing the 70 metal. I used the hunter ship as my last 2 metal. Also get your sugar before the metal, just to be safe.

The one that glitched for me was the first Assassination Mission.

Spoiler: Highlight to view

The "don't get in open combat" never showed up... well, it did at the beginning, but whenever I pushed pause it wasn't there, so I thought it was for later in the mission. It never showed up on pushing pause at all the whole time. Then I failed it. I don't mind, because it was one of the few missions I 5*, so I will definitely play it again.
