Can I make "installments" on a delivery?

[SystemiK]

I didn't notice I'd gained a wanted status during the first run in my new hauler (and I also didn't heed community advice to keep a reserve of cash on hand) so when my hauler was destroyed I was back to a sidewinder and 1k credits. Anyhow, lesson learned, but my question is:

I was hauling 6 units of Scrap for a contract when I was destroyed and the contract is still open. Only problem is that I can now only haul 4 units at a time. If I were to bring 2 batches of scrap to the station would the mission system take a partial delivery or is it all or nothing?

Thanks.

Edit: Hmmm...I wonder if the mission system would even accept Scrap I purchased on the market as a replacement for the 6 units of Scrap which was placed in my hold? I'm sure someone has already tried this before and knows the answer.

Yes. It will accept your replaced scrap (I have done it) but I don't know if it will accept it in parts (4 + 2). I think not!

Well at least that's good news, I have a hunch you are right about the 4+2 though.

You will need to bring the full number of goods in one haul, the mission won't accept multiple partial deliveries.

As the missions are time limited, it places the player at a disadvantage to require to make multiple runs to satisfy the contract - therefore, I would hope that even if a player's ship is too small to carry out the mission in one trip, the player should be allowed to take on the mission - payment on final shipment only though.
