Missions failing.

[Tenshi]

I just took a mission to look for a lost escape pod it had 7 hours on the timer and after an hour the mission updated and said it had failed. This is not the first time this has happened and was wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them?

Yup. Just one of many known issues with missions which'll hopefully be fixed in 2.1.

Same happens with the "Destroy Skimmers" and "Destroy powerplant" missions.

And before anyone else chimes in, no, it's not a "clock" time rather than a countdown time. Escape pod salvage, skimmer/powerplant destruction are all countdown timers.

I have also had this happen on some missions to find salvage at POI in space also. I would fly to the system in question and start to look for unknown signals and drop into them and then at some point the mission would fail even though I know I still have time on the clock.

Just hope it is fixed in the next update as it is very counter productive when trying to rebuild my standings.
