Do cargo delivery missions filter out stations where you cannot land?

[Mephane]

As the thread title says. Do cargo delivery missions (the ones that hand you a bunch of actual cargo to transport somewhere else) also consider your ship size and the size of the destination? I.e. if you can only land on large pads, do they still offer you missions that would required you to land at an outpost?

No, not that I am aware.

No, not that I am aware.

Thanks for replying but this is a bit ambiguous now. Do you mean "no, they don't filter those missions out", or "no, they never send you to an outpost if you cannot land there"?

I thought they did (Edit: Filter out the missions). Available but unobtainable missions often include those I cannot take on because of insufficient cargo space, not just faction reputation, too low remaining time, or combat rating.

Available landing pads etc do not factor in as that can change at any time, and is not something that can be known by the bulletin board poster for that specific mission.

To be direct: You can accept a mission even if your ship is too big to land at the destination; I'd appreciate either a filter or notification in the mission brief but it isn't there yet. The same is true for missions which are beyond your current range.

Thanks everyone for answering. Now I know to be very very careful about accepting delivery missions when flying that which I am about to buy.

Don't forget too that the galaxy map defaults it's range setting to whatever is in your hold, so if you're going to take on more make sure you adjust the slider to match; I made that mistake once. (At least...)
