Mission to Interact with Hub Access Terminal

[Javert]

I took a mission to interact with a "Hub Access Terminal" at a certain base on a planet.

I went to the base, and scanned the hub access terminal successfully with my SRV, but the mission did not update at all.

So then I scanned everything, destroyed the generator and did everything I could possibly do at that base, but still the mission doesn't update.

Does anyone know if there's some kind of bug in those missions or maybe am I doing something wrong?

Not sure about what went wrong but the terminal that you are supposed to scan is the one you can select from a distance of some kilometers. Normally I simply hover over the station with my ship, poke the terminal with the nose and scan it from there. Worked every time.

Only generator destruction missions to (some) ++ and +++ security habitations are bugged and don't seem to have a mission target.

With regards to the bugged generator missions, I found a solution to them last night. Manually take out the generator(s) from your ship, along with any defense turrets that might still be operational, then deploy your SRV and go Terminal hunting. Scan any you find, and one of them will trigger the mission completion. This is similar to the bugged scanning missions that can be completed by destroying the generator. YMMV, but worked for me.

I did one of the terminal scan missions last night. Like Vardaugas says, just scan from your ship. Having good shields helps for when the base starts firing at you.

To answer your question OP, there used to be a bug whereby these missions stopped working, although normally (when the bug hit) the scan-target itself didn't generate.

I think fdev have half fixed it, in that you can still hand it in - but so far all the ones I've tried have actually worked so I have no way of being certain. Certainly I have undertaken black box missions which don't give a mission successful email, but you can still hand them in.
