Can't Complete Mission

mission was from a person, you need to go to the mission giver
It's not that unfortunately. I checked with all in-person mission givers at the station and all wanted to give me a new mission. I thought maybe something with my inventory being full? But my backpack seems empty (Assets: 0/30 - Goods: 0/15 - Data: 0/10)

oh, sorry then, yet another bug.... have you tried relogging?
 
I sold some of the stuff in my inventory anyway, just in case it was an issue of no space for the mission reward. I even traded something like 80 Memory Chips (Encrypted and Regular) for 15 Titanium Plating and upgraded my Dominator Suit, which got rid of even more stuff. Tried again completing the mission but the problem still happens.
 
Only thing I can think of is that maybe my Inventory was 1000/1000 full and when I picked up the vehicle schematics from the crash site, it never did because there was no space to put it in (no error message though). That would be weird though because the system should have prevented me from picking up the mission to begin with.

you would be able to pick it up but then once you got back to your ship or srv it would tell you that your inventory is full and you can emergency board your ship/srv at that point some stuff will be discarded. You should have dropped some items that you didn't needed. Maybe if you go and find Vehicle Schematics and comeback it will accept and complete your mission.
 
Report it, let the mission timer lapse and then clear it from your missions. Sorry it looks like a glitched or bugged mission.
Well, I tried with both Firefox and Chrome but when I get to step #4, where you have to submit the issue, the submit button doesn't work. Oh well...

Possible. But wouldn't it make sense to code it so that it gets rid of everything else first, before trashing the mission objective item automatically? Or at least alert the user that he is about to leave the area without the mission objective item. Anyway, we don't even know for sure that this is what happened. Mission expired.

I think Mission items are treated as a category on their own. I have noticed mission items in the sale list but never the barter list and it's obvious that they are mission critical items so no mistaking them and yes while on a mission if you are missing a mission critical item it will worn you of this. They are highlighted Blue and have the mission logo next to them impossible to mistake it for anything else really when looking at your inventory or while at a vender.

You only get a warning about missing critical item when you land and disembark and you didn't take with you a critical item needed for completing the mission (i.e. Power Regulator). I never saw a similar alert for when you try to leave the planet without the mission objective item that was given to you (or that you picked up) after completing the mission.
BTW, I never "sell all" at the bartender, only trade in specific items when I'm missing mats needed for upgrades (mentioning it just in case it matters).

The warning of a missing critical mission item is/ has been bugged since alpha and never fixed. On a settlement restore mission where you have multiple power regulators in your inventory, selecting the wrong one ?????????? gives this warning after your taxi has left. BUT using any power regulator will complete the mission. In other words a power regulator is a power regulator ! unless it's coded by FDev's, in which case you can only use the specific regulator assigned by the mission. Ridiculous as any will do but not considered an important game breaker to actually warrant fixing. Exactly the same as all the game breaking bugs that still affect gameplay that have been 'forgotten' by Frontier.
(rocks in the middle of buildings, assets 'lost' from backpacks, Atmosphere controls not switching on after restoring power (requiring reboot which then means empty lockers - good job FDev), Docking confirmation being given BEFORE it's requested by Apex shuttle, Black screen when trying to exit game (claim to have fixed but still a problem) etc, etc, etc, the list is endless. Oh and they still cannot fix the stutter/ fps lag caused when ships land at settlements even with RTX powered cards. But don't worry they are powering ahead with the console version even if the PC one is still a mess (oh goodie)

I can add to this problem: I had 2 "take out # of "xxxx" personel" missions. Done them, and upon activating the blue collect mission tile, I also get the short screen flash.
The only thing was that for both these missons I had another mission going on that was "Kill ALL members of "xxxx". Perhaps that coincedence is bugging the 2 missions, making it think it is not concluded after all (even though the missions themselves say it is concluded)... Maybe a hint for ED to take a closer look to these coincedences...
 
I just had this problem, exactly. It was with a base massacre mission, though, so no possibility of leaving stuff behind. Anyone find a fix or should I just forget it?
