Broken missions now the norm?

I got a mission to deliver items to a particular place, and started heading there with what they needed. In flight, they change my mission delivery destination to Novitski Oasis Dock on Arbuda. I fly there, and there's not a port, not a city, not anything but a few moons. The only Novitski Oasis orbital is 200 ly away on Naraka. Apparently, (through reading) others have had the same issue and when they get to Naraka, it won't let them deliver their goods. FD says they are aware of it, yet it remains broken and meanwhile I lose rep with my faction.

Next mission: Go to a laboratory on a planet and am ordered to eliminate 4 skimmers. Fine. Go there, and land outside of the lab building on the planet. Drive up, and take out at least 6 turrets firing at me. Drive everywhere...around the perimeter of the building, all over the structure itself, take out a few more large turrets meant to take down ships. Scan a few data points....nothing. No skimmers anywhere to be seen. Spend another 15 minutes driving around further around the outside of the building, checking my scanner and nothing. I jump back to the originating system, and jump back to the same system/moon to see if maybe that resets the issue. Get back, and all the turrets are magically fixed and firing at me again, but no skimmers anywhere to be found.

Is the mission system THAT broken that you can't accomplish even the simplest of tasks? I thought all this was supposed to be the huge fix in 2.1, better and more reliable missions. Kind of sucks if you ask me.

Broken missions in not the norm. Missions that work as intended far outnumber the ones that don't. However, typing out OPs with exaggerated titles with a couple anecdotes seems to be the norm these days.

Report it.
Only that way you will help the game to get better.
This is a huge game with a lot of variables.
Stuff happens.

For the first mission you may not have had all the system info at hand. Try using your Discovery Scanner or dropping in to the Nav Beacon and scanning it (the mission description tells you to do this for most of them). That should reveal all the stellar bodies and any bases. You can also spot the planets by eye if you know what to look for but it's very difficult.

For the second mission , you don't actually assault the bases. You find POIs nearby (within 100 KM it seems) drop down and deploy SRV. Use the Wave Scanner to find crashed ships, mining facilities and Pirate stashes that are guarded by Skimmers. Kill the skimmers.

So most of the missions are not bugged, though there are some, which should be bug reported. You are simply going thru the learning curve of what needs to be done to complete them.

For some one who has done possibly hundreds of missions since 2.1 launched now I've only encountered 2 that were broken.

I appreciate your help on the 2nd point....I will attempt it in the fashion that was explained. I haven't done too many missions, so it just seemed odd that the first two yesterday appeared bugged. The first one was, the second probably wasn't. My sincere and deepest apologies for asking the original question.

It doesn't mean there are skimmers AT the outpost it says look for skimmers AROUND the outpost, as in the POIs. All the skimmers in the POIs around the outpost will be mission targets
