Newcomer / Intro Skimmer Missions

A quasi-follow-up to my previous post - I had one of those "Destroy 6 skimmer sentries at such-and-such a base" and they just would not spawn.

I tried:
  • Logging off and logging back on
  • Approaching in the SRV
  • Approaching in my ship
  • Shooting at the base
  • Looking for other PoIs near the base

Basically nada - no contacts other than the base itself, and the turrets which took started shooting at me. There are posts going back five years saying this can happen, and then other people insisting the missions work perfectly, so I'm at a loss!
 
It's been a long time since I did one of those. Pre-Odyssey. They worked then, but of course the planets and bases are all different now. Perhaps they are busted.
 
Certainly seems that way (three hours, I spent on that one quest lol) - ah well, I'll just chalk it up to experience and avoid them in future.
