Newcomer / Intro Cargo mission "stolen"?

G
I followed directions from a mission exactly where I had to go to an unidentified signal and pick up some cargo for the questgiver. When I am back at the questgiver I can't hand in the cargo, I see it is marked as "stolen" but I did not steal it. It was like some wreckage in space, and it was where I was told to go exactly... weird because I am playing with a friend and he was able to hand over the cargo and get the reward. What can I do?

Jettisoned cargo will always report as stolen. If you want to avoid same when helping other pilots use abandon

Try selling on the black Market if all else fails

You probably picked up cargo that wasn't intended for the mission, which is why you can't complete it. Usually those "requisition" mission involve picking up a black box, rebel plans, or blueprints. What do the mission parameters say? Can you provide screenshots?

Depends on the cargo. A lot of missions call for things that can be bought on the commodities market. Some missions specifically call for stolen goods. Some missions call for things like black boxes, which can only be stolen.

Missions will remark on things that will be considered illegal. Picking up anything from a USS is illegal, and you'll need to fly in cold to try and avoid a scan. I never accept those missions as I would be no good at flying cold! All you can do now is either sneak in to the station and hope you don't get scanned for a fine when you try getting in there cold (or get it wrong and smash into the station), or abandon it and sell the goods on an outpost with a black market as they won't scan you on your way in to land (well, if an unsanctioned outpost, I've been scanned at a regular, sanctioned outpost before) to recoup some of the costs.
