I got it to work. Down loaded it 2 more times on to  the internal harddrive (was using my external hard drive the first time and the game errors when I tried to transfer it required fresh downloads). The first time on the internal hard drive I did a 100% install with all dlc installed before trying to play (same way I did on the external drive) had same issue would not load first mission. 

How I got it to work after uninstalling for a third time was at 40% the game allows you to play the missions before getting to your ship on xbox. I was able to play those missions to my surprise. After that I let it finish downloading the main game and DLC. It been working ever since.

For some reason downloading the full game and all the DLC  before running the game was causing the issue. 

I'm level 11 now so its seems to be stable and enjoying the game so far. I hope my headache getting it to work helps someone else if they run into a similar issue.
