I did one once took a couple of hours and rewards were poor so I wouldn't do one again FD need to say what they pay upfront after all once bitten twice shy

I'm in the middle of one of these. Just like a previous poster in this thread, mine is the mission to Athena 2.
So far I have scanned the ships data core, picked up the cargo scattered there and found, a short distance away from the crash site, a data point thing to scan so have done that too.
So far, no notification of a mission complete and I'm stuck for what else I need to do. I dunno if it's bugged or what.

A beautiful journey, and this time it worked as intended.
CMDR OniKoni,
fly safe CMDRs!

My first tip off was some crashed ship, too. But recently I got my second one and... well...
NOOOPE! Not touching that with a ten foot pole!
(If stuff you shoot didn't respawn after only a few minutes, I'd try, but the way it's now, this is nigh on impossible. You shoot down a generator to get down a forcefield, and by the time you're at the force field, the generator is up again. Nope. Too much hassle for what amounts to nothing compared to what I can gather elsewhere far more easily and a lot quicker. And for this specific one I'd have to accept a bounty on my head, too!)

Try once.
Maybe a bit off topic, but ground assault, for want of a better description, you kill all the turrets, then the skimmers, and by the time the second skimmer is dead, the first respawns along with the turrets.
Yet, some gamers seem to manage.

I'm doing roughly the same mission. I scanned the data core, but received no update of any kind. Does it update when you leave the planet or something?
Every one I receive always has an expiration date. I just now got one and it expires on April 11th.
Though the mission generally only requires one to scan something, there are generally items around to scoop up for resale. All of the crashed ship missions I've done also have escape pods one can turn in at various stations.
I suppose these give me the option of something different once in a while. Although if it's credits you're after, you'll probably make more bounty hunting at high security nav beacons in the same time it takes.
EDIT: Now I just noticed that this thread was a timetravel in itself. Perhaps close?

The Things are coming, we cannot stop them ... and we need your help!
We need help for more TIPOFF folks. Not sure how this works, after receiving a few TipOffs, I've been following them to get the decrypted message. We may not know the mechanism how to get more Tip-Off, but some suggestions from fellow commanders; - Message delivery mission may give Tip-Offs...
