Engineers unable to complete mission

Shadowma · May 27, 2016

Hello well I took a mission for 56 units of silver to Tougher system at Brendan camp & when I got there no completed mission info on screen like it did not "get the memo" that I was coming ? I have 9 hours until time up on this mission not sure what could be the problem other than maybe a bug, anyone else having these kind of issues ? Thanks for any info in regards to this.

It is possible the mission was updated during your journey, the destination changed and you missed the message. Check your transactions tab on your ship and make sure the mission is still listed and that you are at the correct station. If that is all ok, try logging out then back in, if the station BB does not update its possible the mission will have expired before support are able to get to a ticket, but I would file a ticket anyway.

There is a long standing bug where this will happen one side does not have the mission, but I have not seen anyone mention it in a while.

I had the same thing happen to me. I found a data mission and 2t of cargo going to the same place (I reset for 2.1 so had about 10k in assets so this was a big deal)

The data mission completed just fine, but the cargo mission wouldn't even after exit game and restart, as well as undock and redock. I ended up abandoning it, and the agent woke up enough to fine me for non-completion

This often happens if the mission reward has items as well as credits - if you don't have the cargo space to accept the additional reward you can't complete the mission - you need to sell some of your cargo to make room.

I'm in the same situation at the moment. Took a mission to deliver 84 superconductors. When I reached the original destination (before I had even docked) I received a critical communication which was redirecting me to another destination. I landed, then flew on to the next place. I'm sat at the destination station now and there is no way to complete the mission. Not seen this one before, so it may be a 2.1 newbie.

You may have to scan the nav beacon.

Dunno if thats the problem but its worth a try.

I have the same issue, mission destination updated on route, no option for completion at the new destination.

Air Chief Jim · May 27, 2016

I just tried TartanDragon's suggestion and scanned the Nav Beacon. It hasn't changed anything sadly. I like your thinking though!

The bonus reward in this case is just cash, so cargo space also isn't an issue MalcYorks.

This one feels like a new defect.

Twice now since the upgrade taken missions to deliver data and when I arrive at the destination there is no way to end the mission

Just reported this as a bug. I had to deliver 33t palladium to a system, but the destination changed. When I got to the correct system and station I couldn't hand it in. I had enough cargo space left for the 4t of commodities too. Very annoying, especially when I have less than 20h to hand it in ... and on a UK bank holiday too! ROFL!

I got one for you as well.

I took a mission to deliver some cargo for 900k credits. The mission updated and then sent me to an outpost for a bonus reward. The problem is I am flying a Type 7 that can't land there. I have no ship that can take the 84 tonnes of cargo as all medium ships will not be able to transfer that amount of cargo directly into it without upgrades.

This is a fault with the game and not me as I am very meticulous about what ship I am flying and where I can land. So now I have to take the faction hit and pay a fine and its not even my fault.

Today I was able to complete a couple of data delivery missions but the third time didn't work. No luck, I tried going back and forth several times to the station without success.

Belthize · May 30, 2016

I've had this happen with delivery missions where the location changes. Only once, many other times it works fine so it's not clear what triggers the bug. And yes plenty of space for rewards. Transaction tab is clear on the new location and the basketball is showing properly in the systems map but once landed none of the folks want to take responsibility for it.

Frankly this is the one thing in 2.1 I don't really like. Even if they do fix this bug I'd prefer the location change to be optional. Sometimes I'm doing a loop and having 5 missions I've carefully gathered from multiple locations all headed to the same place and I really don't want to wander off to 5 different places. And no I don't do any form of mode switching, just hitting stations in a system and gathering common missions.

I had a bug with the update mission where it didn't actually tell me which place to go in the new target system. It just showed me the variable name, which was sort of annoying, but luckily if you look in the bodies list on the left panel, it now has a helpful circle icon to point you in the right direction. I was able to finish the mission even though I had no clue at first where to take it.

ShimEnki · May 30, 2016

Yeah i just now arrived at the exact location that the memo stated i was to deliver to an alternate location. Yes the mission clearly updated it and here I am at Paolo port with no one to recv the mission.

I second the idea that the alternative location should be an option. Whats with these mission writers and all this bait and swtch nonsense extended from 2.0 into 2.1
