Settlement Restart Missions

Does checking the contacts list work better? You can drill down and get a state display there.

It does if the target is in the current system.

Luckily, it's not too hard to find a planet which has multiple abandoned settlements and also with a recovering surface port in which to take missions from.

That's the criteria I've started looking for when doing these missions. Then, I can just use the nav panel to check status, and I only have to orbital cruise for a few seconds back and forth to/from the target.

I am pretty sure that when this happened to me, a few day ago; After the first occurrances, I tried checking the status in the navigation panel first, before accepting new missions, and the target settlements were still online when I arrived there, despite the navpanel listing them as offline.

Then it must have been a bit buggier bug.

Since I started checking the settlement's actual status directly in system map (selecting the settlement in the left list and checking the "Settlement has been abandoned" icon) I haven't had this happen. It takes a lot more clicks than it should but so far this proved to me being a 100% successful bypass.
