According to the great support guy (or gal) who resolved my lost missions issue it was a server side hiccough that has now been fixed. I left the game yesterday with a bunch of skimmer missions to go so it'll be interesting logging in (early bank holiday -yay- morning coffee forum browsing time).
Beware: Don't log out without handing in your completed missions!

Got your nose!
It's possible, but again, why would 2 scan missions stay and all the skimmer missions (and one assassination) vanish? Both completed and incomplete. all missions were picked up at the same time. About 12 skimmer missions to two bases, an assassination and 3 planetary scans. I completed 5 of the 12 skimmer missions to one of the bases, all missions to the other base were incomplete. The assassination was completed. The scan mission that disappeared had been identified via nav beacon, but since it was 325kls out, I had decided to leave it for the next day.
I'm a keen observer of system behaviour (it's my job for 28 pro years), there is definitely no justifiable reason for this, I'm sure it's a glitch.
I checked my ticket for a reply this morning, but no dice yet, didn't expect to be honest.
My beautiful white-ish grey nose! How could you!?
Good news, thanks.

I lost some completed wing missions when I wasn’t the owner after logging although that was pre .03
Well, all my skimmer missions were still there so hoping it's fixed and Support compensated me for my lost finished missions - I think they are slammed at the moment but you should get some joy.
And just wanted to say thanks to CMDR Unha at Frontier Support, they always seem to come thru'. [up]

Aha so Im not the only one...lost about a dozen completed missions two nights ago. Woke up yesterday morning and all I had left was a single planetary scan which is kinda weird cos I did all the missions the previous night. So the game took a dozen and gave one back.
That was two nights ago with the discovery yesterday morning...I didnt raise a ticket cos I dont have enough patience left fer frontier to write the ticket in the first place ^
This happened to me as well but it was only 2 missions so I never bothered about it until I read this thread. Mine didn't disappear, just timed out when I knew I had still at least an hour on the clock. I tend to play at the same time each evening between 7 - 9.30pm. Rightly or wrongly I have a theory that if you leave a couple of missions onboard over night that you get a better paying choice of missions on start up the next evening. I do this all the time and I had taken these missions sometime after 2100hrs the previous evening so when I fired her up at 1900hrs the next day I would normally have 2-2+hrs left on the clock but got a surprise when I found I only had 14 minutes and though I could likely have delivered them in that time when I got interdicted on entry to the delivery system there was no chance at all. I just thought it was the game giving me a slap and put it down to bad luck.
this happened everytime they did a serverside hotfix (and there have been at least 3 this week)
I wouldn't have bothered either, but my vette needs reactive armor!!
If this is all it is, it's pretty bad. There could have been a warning or something. I don't think there was a patch overnight when my stuff went walkies, but I don't actually know when 3.0.5 dropped, so I'm not sure.

Suppose I could have mentioned it yesterday which would have been well before you noticed something wrong, but really, how much difference would it have made and how many would have actually listened or even believed me? No missions last night, just uss hunting and a spot of mining till its fixed ^
Thanks for posting, but I don't think that's related. In the case mentioned in the OP (and others), they would have been removed from your transactions tab completely, you are the only one stating something different. Not disputing wha tyou say at all, just that it's probably a different bug.
I'd have believed you mate.
i reported this tuesday... had 50mill of missions disappear over night. then Wednesday i had another 30mill of missions disappear. Most complete, some almost complete. It wasnt so much the cr i wanted but the mats that came with the reward. Raised a ticket, they added the 80mill to my acc but said unfortunately they cant give matts :/ They also said ( and this was yesterday 29th ) that the bug had been fixed. I guess ill see when i get home as ive 60+mill of missions ( again most complete ) open - ill edit this post with an update.
Its not happening when you log off - as i log off when i grab a coffee, it seems to be over night or after youve been logged out a certain amount of time but i was logged out a few hours last night before going back on and everything was as it should be. We shall see :/

Ah my bad then, apologies. It left me in a bit of a foul mood yesterday...frontier were being called names that would make a serial killer blush at the time and me temper sorta got the better of me...story of my life but however...live and learn m8. Its this place...wears ye down over time ^
Yes, you always had to pray that space gods would save you from disconnections or other wing-breaking errors.
I'm not sure if it has been fixed since.
I just started Ram Tah's mission last night, I hope it doesn't disappear halfway thru completion..
You should be safe now. They supposedly patched that particular bug in 3.04.
Unfortunately for me... I did loose all my progress. (About 15 Hours Worth) And I just couldn't motivate myself to start over from scratch. I even went back to the first Guardian Ruins site, but headed back to my home base about 30 minutes later. Deleted the mission myself on the way home.
Fortunately, I have not been hit with this latest regular mission deleting crap. I do hope that it has been fixed as well. Loosing progress is never a good thing. In my case, it killed an entire new feature/content addition to the game for me.
Thanks, Fox.
I cashed in all my community goals last night, just in case.

Was definitely not fixed in 3.0.4. It happened to me during 3.0.4, possibly at the transition of 3.0.5,but I'm not sure. Are we on 3.0.5 yet? I've lost the ball, lol.
