Mission Failed

Sometimes you even fail donate missions, quite amazing really.
i'm 99.9% sure i just had a mission insta-win instead of insta-fail, i had 2 'scan the data point' missions in different systems, i went and did one, went to do the other one too but the only option i had was to hand them both in and collect.
insta-fail missions have cost me about 20 million so far, i hope FD are taking the issue seriously

Yes, had that last night. 140 mill in the bank and I somehow failed to donate 25K towards fighting an outbreak.
That's been a bug for a while. If you stack planetary scans popping into each system will trigger it but if you only scan the last on the list all complete.
Stick with doing 1 completely before hitting the next system on the list and they run fine to avoid an exploit. You still get the occasional one, usually when in the system you started in when doing the rounds, but easily avoided if you want to.
To balance the negativity - my instant mission success. I was hauling some expensive stuff for supply mission. For max profit I take any other missions that are in general direction of my target. In that case it was some simple data delivery. Upon handing it in I checked mission board. And bam - supply expensive stuff I was already hauling for another mission, in the exactly same amount I had in cargo. Picked up mission and instantly handed in. Fastest cr earned.
But now I had to go back to my supplier for another batch ...
Luckily I hadn't faced insta-fail mission. Yet.

Sometimes missions can auto fail because you dont have enough space in your data/material inventory to accept them. If its full its worth deleting some to see if it helps.
Should be noted that they can also fail if its not full but NEARLY full if it anticipates you wont have enough to do the misson/accept the reward.

The storage and item management is still a joke?
Who would have guessed that...
Anyways, thanks for the tip, I will check that next time.
This happened to me at in Maia system. Plenty of space. Mission failed as soon as I accepted. Left with "stolen" cargo as a consequence.
Yeah its really poor. I had the same issue, making sure i had 10 or so room for storeage when it happend seemed to work.
Its the same when you pick up a mission and you dont have enough storage to receive the reward, the game WONT LET you hand the mission in. If your cargo hold is full you can hand the mission in and you forfeit the cargo but if the reward is data/material, it just pretends the mission dosent exist until you make room.
Is a bit of a pet peeve.
