Checking active missions?

Last night I started the 2nd story mission. Fly to Cleveland Hub to learn trade. I read the brief then logged off for the night.

Now, I can't figure out how to reread the brief so I'm stuck since I don't remember what to do or where to go.

Anyone able to help?
 
Any missions you have will be in the Transactions tab on your left panel. You won't get the briefing again, but it should have info on where you're going and the objective.
 
Ah, when I check transactions nothing is there and I'm at the station I'm meant to go and there is no trade mission offered to me.

I presume I've messed up. Is it vital to do the story/mentor missions? I don't want to have messed up the game if so.
 
Nothing in the game is mandatory, there's no story line that you have to follow. So no you haven't missed anything or messed up your game, don't worry.
As for your mission information. With the mentor missions you should have got a comms message (Comms panel, 5 tab) that gives you more details about what to do. If you didn't delete this then it should still be there. As said above the mission should be in the transactions tab in your left panel, contacts section. It will not disappear until you have handed in the mission or abandoned it. Missions that time out will still show. So if you can't see the mission then you have either completed it and handed it in, abandoned it, or never taken it in the first place (Many have set off on a mission having forgotten to klick accept).
If you go back to the issuing station you should be able to find another mentor mission to take.

You may have forgotten to accept the mission. If you accept any mission it will appear on the second tab, "Transactions", on the left side menu. Check missions again, and it may populate again for you. Otherwise, you can accept any trading missions (albeit, read the risks, rewards, and requirements before doing so) and you will learn how to trade. As the game itself has no core story line, you are not gimping your experience in game. This game is one of those, "blaze your own trail", type games so you make what experiences you want out of the game. Whether you decide you want to trade, mine, bounty hunt, support major or minor factions, engage in civil war/war combat, engage in piracy, explore, participate in power play factions, smuggle, or a combination of many of these options, among others, it is entirely up to you. i would just recommend that you stay near or about the starter area until you get more acclimated to the game, and have the funds to purchase a better ship with an improved jump range. You should also check your coms menu, which is the upper left hand corner. The mission acceptance and brief may still be in that window (I believe the second to last tab in the coms window to the right side). If it first appeared in that window and tab, and you didn't delete it then it should still be in that location.
