Io has unkillable ally ospreys. They stop waves.

i've run into the same issue a few times now.

the offending osprey is typically a Mine Osprey and when marked it shows as an ally.  since the game still thinks there's an enemy on the map, it won't progress, even though the osprey is friendly.  usually occurs after the first 5 waves are done.  no way for the player to fix it, except abort and lose progress.  ( i did lose a couple meso relics just a few minutes ago, should have avoided Io to begin with )

a couple causes i can thing of is that it's spawning in erroneously along side everything else, or, player MOAs are accessing a panel and hacking it, taking control of an osprey and it gets stuck in a loop.  but that latter idea doesn't make much sense because it seems that it's commonly a Mine Osprey.

either way, between wave 5 and 15 typically, a friendly Mine Osprey appears and throws a monkey wrench in things.  the fast fix is putting in a check for ally mobs.  the slow fix is figuring out why the lil stinker is showing up in the first place.

Did you have Nekros in your team? He can be the issue.

i've been running nekros on jupiter for the new resource as well.  that could be a possibility but i would assume that defense missions all run on the same base code, just mob/loot tables and tile sets are different.  that being said, i've never run into this sort of thing before and the only change is the refresh of the jupiter tile sets and new mobs.  it also hasn't occurred in any other endless mission type on jupiter in my experience.  it only seems to occur on Io for me.  i've run 30 min survivals solo and in a group on jupiter with no issue.

maybe i'll run it solo with nekros later (if i can, he's tuned for despoil, kinda squishy) just to see if it repeats.  i gave my hacking moa up for standing so i can't test that theory right away.  but i did observe the problem with both my moa and the last run i did on Io had a hacking moa in the group.
