Mission bonus times

Anyone else seeing bonus mission times that are very small? I get a notice of about 1 minute to complete which isn't even enough time to dock.
 
Ditto. Also been having bugs where you can't complete a delivery mission without extra cargo space and where the game crashes on going to hyperspace after leaving a station. And stop paying me "bonuses" in unwanted cargo!
 
I have been getting mission updates telling me i have to deliver to surface bases which clearly we cant fo yet. But my friend who haf the same nission got an update where it says deliver it quicker for bonus in 0m and insta-fails
 
It happened to me as well. I would have had 1 minute to dock from the moment I arrived at the system itself. I was just smiling about it. :) They may have wanted to write 10 minutes not 1. The mission itself is usually several hours long (or even a day) so 1 minute seems to be too low even for a special request.

this is no bug though, you will get commodities as mission rewards, if you have not enough cargo space, you can't complete the mission

You'll want that "unwanted" cargo come Thursday when we get the ability to buy horizons and get access to engineers.

How about they just fill up your cargo hold until it's full? Then you get something at least. I'ts like they're saying " what? Your wallet is too short for a 1000 credit bill? Well then you're not getting it"
 
I've had this too.
Also had more than a couple of server problems which have booted me and I've not been able to get back on before the mission deadline. :(
I'm not liking the 'mission specific' cargo either. If I get killed (which has happened some recently) and lose 10t of Palladium, why can't I just buy 10t of Palladium out of my own pocket? Basically now you CANNOT die while on a mission. I see no in-game rationale for this, and can only assume it's a measure to stop CMDRs racking up dozens of missions at a time. Oh well.

If they're're going to require us accepting cargo as "bonuses," then they should at least:1) Make sure the cargo doesn't take up more space than the cargo being removed.-or-2) Warn us ahead of time of how much extra cargo space we will need so we don't waste time going to a station with a full cargo load, making it impossible to turn in the mission.-or-3) Allow us the option to still turn in the mission and turn down the "bonus."Either way you cut it, this system sucks as it is presently. I have no way of knowing when I accept a delivery mission anymore whether I'll be able to actually turn in that mission when I get to the station.

Considering it is a payment for delivery, the bonus cargo should be given after the mission cargo is delivered. Also, for myself, the bonus early delivered data mission will start at having 0 min, but after doing a few the time seems to set back to 1hour.
 
I had one appear just as I jumped to an Outpost. Less than a minute to dock? Challenge accepted!

Never had a good reason to speed dock (other than jollies) until now, love it.

Occasionally, yes, they are unreasonable, but it is just a bonus anyway.
 
FYI, you don't FAIL if you don't deliver in the new window, you just don't get the bonus. The original timeframe still applies (you may get a stern message from your contact).
