Help for Powerplay mission (weekly task) - Recover Classified Data from System

[Resin8or]

Hi all - could somebody point me in the right direction with one of my weekly missions? I had this mission:

I went to a ground facility in the specified system and collected what I thought was the right data from the data ports on the ground. However, it looks like that is not the case:

I am seeing this in the power contacts within the stations at Bidiono. I assume I have misinterpreted the requirement in some way?

Any ideas?

Thanks

It's supposed to be Classified Data, see the entry above your highlighted one. Power Clasified Data.
That's what the task is requiring, if you read it again. It can be confusing! But it is a very specific type of data that's often required.

There are unfortunately two major problems with this mission which will make it impossible to complete.

1) It wants you to transport the data to Bidiono, 20.4 LY away. But Bidiono is Fortified so only has an Acquisition range of 20 LY. This problem comes up a lot in weekly mission generation where the target is an Acquisition system and is a long-standing bug. It's unclear whether Frontier know about this bug or if they intend to fix it, but they haven't yet.

2) Due to other issues, Frontier have completely disabled scoring for Powerplay data downloads, and this prevents them from being used at all for merits, control score, or weekly mission completion - but the missions still generate. This is something Frontier are aware of and working on, but no timescale for a fix. This will affect all "recover X data" tasks.

You'll have to just skip this mission this week.

Thank you CMDR - I didn't realise that. I might have spent ages trying to get it working
