Newcomer / Intro Having major problems with first mission

[BadCompany]

I salute you d8veh and Thwarptide and gosh, most all of the posters here. Your posts are richly informative and I am very pleased to find posters that respect their readers by using proper spelling, punctuation and grammar. I'm coming from 7 years of Diablo/Diablo II followed by 15 years of World of Warcraft and I'm enjoying the heck out of ED so far (1 week in), not least because I find the forums more enjoyable due to participants like y'all.

I'm having the exact same problem as the op here. I jumped into Dromi. I docked at Mawson Station. I looked at the mission and it said that it was complete but I had to go back to Matet and dock at Coelho Station and turn it in. So I jump back Matet. I dock at Coelho Station. I go to the Mission Board. No way to turn in mission. I'm attaching 3 pics showing that the mission is marked as complete, as well as proving that I am where it says I'm supposed to be, and finally the mission board showing no option to turn in the mission and get paid. This is almost as newbie as it gets and it doesn't seem to work.

OP & @AkosPrime : I suggest reporting this to FDev. I'm sure they would fix this minor, yet confounding error. I must say, that would have made me a bit crazy if I had run into that when I just started.
@AkosPrime: your first screenshot illustrates the error and would be perfect to include with the report.

Among the great advice in this thread I'll second the advice to get Horizons. It adds a fun dimension to the game and makes the acquisition of some needed materials quite a lot easier.
Welcome and have fun out there, CMDRs...
