Retrieve rebel transmission mission - can't give cargo

mtlmaks · Dec 22, 2014

Hi,

I just did one of those "get rebel transmissions" missions, which I found successfully. When I want to hand them at the station, I can't give the cargo, the button is red, despite the fact that it says that my mission was a success. Any idea why? Quick! The time is running out and I don't want to lose my 14k credits after all that tedious USS searching...

Btw, I play solo, but that shouldn't have anything to do with it, right...?

I thought this error was fixed. Try quitting the game and rejoining.
What system are you in?

Solo and Open are exactly the same, except you will not see other players, you still need an internet connection for all the other things.

Hi fergal, thanks for your reply. I just restarted the game, but to no success. I'm in LHS 3877. About Solo and Open, that's what I understood, and I'm also on the internets.

So, this is a bug then? Should I submit a ticket?

mtlmaks · Dec 22, 2014

What the... I just checked my transactions, and suddenly I have a 16k fine to pay in that same system, no idea why... My mission timer for the rebel transmissions still shows 1h left. And the fine is higher than the credits I own right now. This is getting annoying...

Actually I wonder if it's because I left the station and re-entered it, to see if that changes anything to the mission bug, and during that process I got scanned by authority vessels. So I'm guessing that the fine is because the rebel transmission missions are illegal... However, I didn't get any notice after the scan. This is getting confusing, and if I can't get my money for that mission, I'm basically broke now, great...

And what actually happens when the timer for the fine run's out?

For what its worth I had that same issue just prior to launch. I had a massive amount of fines but don't recall seeing more than a handful actually showing.

I think what it is for me is that I am using TrackIR and those fines only appear in the info panel for a quick moment. No sound notification or warning that you get a fine if you are not fortunate enough to read the fine 'ping' coming thru. Then, like you I start getting confused why I am being attacked till I check my screens and find I have a massive amount of fines!

Anyways I try to keep across this now, and generally dont do those missions anymore due to the amount of fines severly exceeding the credits you get in return. Probably just my crappy playstyle as I am still new, but is a source of frustration for me.

mtlmaks · Dec 22, 2014

Exactly, this is getting frustrating. Until now I kept my hands off illegal missions, but for this one went for a try. The frustrating part here is that the first time I actually got into the station, I was scanned while I boosted through the airlock, and luckily the scan didn't complete. So if I would have been able to give my cargo I'd have succeded and doubled my credits. But because of this apparent bug I'm completely broke now...

I have a very similar (an annoying) problem with a "go fetch" mission. I had to go find 2 "workers" and smuggle them back in. OK - So I went off, found 2 slaves and brought them back but now the mission info "GIVE CARGO" is red and I can't complete the mission. I still have the slaves in the ship and if my frustration levels get any higher I can (fortunately) sell these guys on the black market at the hand-in station but the profit is "ordinary" (pathetic actually). Anyway I'm hoping someone here can perhaps enlighten me as to what I did wrong or need to do to finish this mission. I will attach (1) The mission description and (2) The hand in screen info which might help pinpoint whatever it is i'm missing.

I have the same problem, but with Personal Weapons for one of the 'Seeking Special Gifts' quests.

Has E

support ever fixed this problem for anyone?

Edit: Xennon, there are two different types of slaves. Imperial Slaves and just regular Slaves. They are counted as different things. Make sure you have the right kind (a screenshot of your cargohold would help).

I have the same issue, but with stolen toxic waste and on "open" mode (and yes, the mission was for stolen). This is an outrageous bug that doesn't seem to get any feedback from the developers even after a month or two of discussions. Still love the game though.

Having the same problem delivering slaves. Have tried the alternate resolution as well: delivering them to safety in another system. Both locations thank me for bringing them and offer the reward, but I can't give the cargo. Option is red. Really wanted that 50 grand. Got a 20 Grand fine as well because of it.
Surprised to see this issue has been unaddressed for so long.

In this case your problem is that you bought the weapons rather than stole them. The mission should state that the items must be stolen.

Give trade data

I think I sorted it but I tried so many things it could have been any. However, here goes, I couldn't give the data either but I had collected 2 instead of 1 - so I abandoned 1. No joy... Then I thought I would try paying off my fines. I did and lo and behold I was able to give the cargo :/ very strange.

Yes, but I would argue that this is also nearly a bug in itself; it makes no sense that “goods must be stolen”. These should all be replaced by “goods may be stolen”, and most such missions changed to ask for goods that are illegal in the current system.

(I've complained about these missions before, but unfortunately they are still there.)

CMDR Greg Rickshaw · Feb 6, 2015

Also noticed.....

I had collected one trade data and one transmission.... when it clearly says transmission in the bulletin - Doh.... luckily the one I jettisoned was the trade data!

Note to self: Read exactly what the bulletin says

im currently playing 1.2 beta and have a rebel transmition in my system im playing sole and although I get the message saying well done I am still unable to give the cargo over.

CMDR Ta'arns · Jan 5, 2016

Just to chime in that this bug is present as of 5min ago. I made over a dozen jumps for a mineral extractor mission and returned with the cargo and only a few minutes to spare. The mission ended in failure and I took some bad photos with my cell phone which I'll add in.

First photo is of the mission hand in page. The GIVE CARGO button is highlighted but was red and would not allow me to press it. You can see that I have the cargo, I did in my inventory and still do although the mission has since failed. Oddly it says "You do not have the quantity of minteral extractors needed to complete this assignment." But then you can also see that I have 7/7

Picture two of my mission screen a couple of minutes later once it had failed.

Picture three of the failed mission discard screen. The mission is stating the first part of the multi part mission which was completed hours earlier.

So it sucks to fail a mission which should be a complete success. Hopefully this issue is resolved soon since we put a lot of effort and time into doing these missions.

Cheers
