Elite / Frontier FE2 start systems with no starports

[AaronTee]

Hey guys, I have been playing the original amiga version of FE2 over the past 2 weeks, and I have had 3 deliveries or passenger voyages where I have been asked to take them to a system, yet the system has no starports or space stations, ie, no where to land or dock. What the hell? Is there a solution to this that I'm not aware of? Has anyone else come across this before?

There's no solution if you've taken the contract. You'll just get an angry message from your employers in a month's time, because you've failed the mission

It's always worth checking the system out before you take the job, for reasons such as this. And yes, it's a bug

Oh well, doesn't matter lol. The passengers have already left but this parcel will hang around forever I guess. Thanks for letting me know Steve

Pretty annoying how they always seem to be high paying missions. Plus it irks my honour to have undelivered packages kicking around the ship forever.

Wonder if this is a plain old bug or something left out of the original game. Perhaps we'll get shady missions to out of the way places in E: D

You could try this version, it's based on official updates that were never released on disk... includes various bug fixes, navigation computer and 'extra' scenery

I put it together a couple of years ago
