Newcomer / Intro probably obvious question about source missions

Do source and return missions require you to go through the mission board somewhere that sells them? I thought that was delivery missions

No that was me just getting confused earlier as your screen-shot showed a pick-up system - they don't do that outside the starter area.

So all in all you seem to have done the right things but we can't see a reason for the mission not appearing for you to complete. Maybe just have to sell your cargo, abandon this one and try another since you have done the normal suggestions - relogging, restarting etc.

Sorry
 
What's strange is that the mission should be in a separate section called ONGOING MISSIONS at the top of the mission board. But the screenshot shows no such section. Looks like a bug. A rare one though. I never had problems with source-return missions.
 
So, unless there's a reason not to, I'll throw a ticket at support and move on

Oh - I wonder.....

Did you buy the Polymers in Otegine (Aldrich Station)?

Your mission details show pick-up system as Matet. Sorry - typo, should read Dromi

You can't buy Polymers in Matet (again a typo by me) Dromi so I wonder if the mission won't let you complete as it expected you to buy the goods in Meatt Dromi? (sorry again about the typos - brain fade on my part)

So that would be the bug - just a starter area thing, that wouldn't happen elsewhere.

Just guessing.

The screenshot shows the pickup system as Dromi, so this isn't a source mission.- it's a delivery mission.

See my post #10 above which clearly illustrates that a source and supply mission in the newcomer's zone shows a pick-up system.

N.B You cannot "pick up" polymers from anywhere in Dromi (which I typo'd in my post you quoted) - the only source of polymers in the starter systems is Otegine.

Always a good way to have a long thread - only screenshot some of the info & see if people can guess the missing ones :)
That's my favourite support game! No, I don't want to hear about your life story, just give me the details of the issue you're having...no, not your medical issues, the technical one...yes, the one right now, not the one you had at another company...yes, but can you tell me what you see, not what you're imagining....
 
I apologize if I made this difficult, I'm not exactly experienced with this sort of stuff. But, I do have good news, a few days later and a few missions later it all showed back up. Thanks for the help!

No worries! This subforum is for helping new players. We like solving problems. As an experienced player (5+ years) I still learn new stuff here thanks to questions like yours. I now know that mission formats in the starter area are slightly different.

That everything showed up again after a while is good news indeed. Must have been a server-side hiccup.
 
This same thing has been happening to me. When you go to accept the mission it does not state a specific pickup point. Afterwards in the transaction area it will give a system, but as another poster stated, that system does not sell those items.

I have to wait between 10 min to 30 hours for the missions to show up in the station so I can turn them in. Its really a pain to have half your cargo hold full of stuff to turn in and not able to do it.
