OTAS Mission Problem. Bug? *Work Around Found*

[Ceryk]

I got the second OTAS mission and he told me to fly to a station and talk to a contact who will tell me where the guy to kill is. The contact is named No Pilot, which in and of itself sounds buggy. When I fly to the station, I get no update. No Pilot has nothing to say either. I've tried the Comms both docked and undocked and No Pilot never has anything to say.

Wondering if this is a bug or if there's a work around or I'm just not doing something right.

UPDATE:

Found a work around. Posted it down further, but I'll edit so it's up here.

Get the mission with the No Pilot contact and fail it. I don't know if abandoning works or not. When OTAS sends you a message that they have work, the contact should have a name. This worked in my case, so hopefully it will work with the others having the No Pilot issue as well.

Did you have a bug in first part of this mission where none of the pirates were hostilethe 'OTAS' ships you had to escort were labelled Terracorp. The Pirates as they spawn are all called unknown object, in fact every single pirate spotted during this agonisingly slow (39m/s) sector crawl were neutral and named unknown object. then when you dock you get told 'here have this' but dont actually get given anything.

ive had the no pilot bug in otas missions

I also keep being told, here accept this reward, but dont actually GET anything from it

I found a work around. Get the mission, fail it, then when OTAS sends you a message that they have a job for you, it should work normally. It did for me at least. The contact had a name.

you lose reputation that way, but i suppose if you cross fingers and hope next mission isnt bugged eventually you could reach 100%

if you sat around long enough with a mission posted, does the mission go away/become something else?

[Ceryk]

Yeah, you do loose 5% or something, but I'm not sure if that will have any effect on the end reward or if they just keep giving you missions until you've got the highest rank. I've never finished one of these series before, don't even know how long they are.

That one in particular is timed, so it you leave it, it fails and goes away and they give you the mission again. For me, it worked out fine. So far I'm half way through the second rank, so I hope that 5% doesn't screw anything up. But I doubt they do that.
