Mission issues after tonight's crash

[Ancient Forester]

So, I can accept that you are in the middle of developing a new DLC, and that makes your servers less stable than you care to admit.

But.

When your update-hidden-as-a-crash tonight starts doing things like removing active missions (by changing the specs of them), it kind of puts me in a foul mood.

I was quite a few hours into Ram Tah's mission "Decoding the Ancient Ruins". Which has a 4 week timeout. Mission was picked up 24 hours ago. And everybody who has done the mission knows that it's a grind of hating the 2 unit limit on the SRV cargo space. The mission is LITERALLY a timesink.

After the restart, the mission was simply gone from my active tasks.

Went to Inara to make it refresh my profile, and checked the mission log. My Decoding the Ancients mission had been replaced by something called "The Dead" that had timed out.

Frontier? what?

I'm sorry. I didn't do it intentionally. But it's good that you are interested in my work.

Seems someone mistakenly thinks they're a wit when they're only half a one.

What what.
No wait, just what you posting this in the forum for? Open a ticket.

That is magnificent, I'm stealing that for my C.V.

Sounds annoying, your problem. Maybe contact support.

Of course it's magnificent. I stole it from Sir Terry Pratchett.

I’m getting deja vu. I think disappearing Ram Tah mission has been a reoccurring issue.

If I were you I'd write a sternly worded email to AWS...

You do know they host the service... Of course you did...

So basically, disregard the time lost, and next time I get a mission forced on me (like this one was), just ignore it because it's probably bugged? Is that how I should read the reply?

The servers for ED are pretty stable compared to a couple of games I play (ESO immediately springs to mind). It happens and I occationally lose stuff. I generally have a cry (quietly, without a post) and move on.

Of course I haven't faceplanted into a star because of it, but I have always been lucky like that

Interesting. Post that on Raxxla thread for best effect.

and next time I get a mission forced on me (like this one was)

not sure if I misreading this but the Ram Tah mission appears when you dock in a certain system, its not forced on you, nor do you have to do it immediately it will be available next time you dock as well. Just coz its in your panel doesnt mean you have to do it.

There have been many issues with this mission and I still havent done it coz not sure it ever got fixed or was still bugged so so couldnt complete.

Also Ram Tah is a bit miserly with the payouts.
So he can shove it.

Stand by, I’m calling the WAAAAmbulace.

Contact Support.

Given the options for contacting support (lost modules or ships is the closest one, and that's as close as I am to winning a million dollars in the lottery), I don't find that this is a support-claim matter. Lost time isn't an option.

I'd settle for an explanation on how to avoid this in the future, should I ever again accept any mission that isn't a "done in the next five minutes" one.

Contact Support.

And don't forget to demand compensation!

I had that Ram-Tah mission as well, now it's gone. Interesting stuff, wonder what's going on. I'd put it down to the crash, but the thing you said about "The Dead" has me intrigued.

Sorry, not trying to be cryptic.

Read the reply as me having a faint recollection of similar conversations at some point in the past that may or may not have actually happened, nothing more.

Not very helpful I suppose, but it’s all I had.

Ooooh, burn!
