Mission description bugs

I took mission on some station to deliver 24 units of medical supplies only then to discover they will not fit on my ship. How I can now how much place they take? Description is nowhere to be found. As far as I know this is a bug to fix in 1.5.

Once you've encountered this sort of mission the item (medical supplies in this case) will be listed in your in-game Encyclopaedia.

Thanks for the explanation! But you must admit it is far from intuitive or user-friendly

And I cannot find Medical Equipment in my encyclopedia after I accepted the mission

And another issue: when getting mission to retrieve the ship which is very easy it turns out that ship is over 200 km away and there is no way to be on time even if I repair it, because it is slow as hell.

I would add some information in the mission description - how far is it or/and what kind of ship is it.

Or is it a feature of a game?

another one: Entertainment chips offer and I cannot find it in encyclopedia before accepting, i need this info before I accept the mission

- definitely a bug

Hello? Will it be corrected in some patch?

I have been starting to get this problem too,but I am thinking..."if the ship to retrieve is one or more sectors away,then I can use a jumpdrive to reduce the time spent getting there."

that is true, but in humble beginnings you don't have jumpdrive

Ah but that's where a fast TM comes in handy. Not as quick on the way out, but you can load the offending craft and jump back

If time allows, you can also send the ship to the nearest Trading Dock and boost its engine, then send it to the destination. The hull repairs do not do as much good as this other approach, and the (little, for M5's) money spent with the boost could be drawn nicely from the reward. I've tested it, believe me

Sounds to me like a genuine issue, and it will have been seen. If there isn't any useful feedback to be given on an issue, you won't get any.

No-one can/will say whether any particular issue will be addressed - it generally depends on the difficulty of the fix and its priority. Being a small shop, Egosoft don't have unlimited resources, and for particularly knotty problems, it's possible that there might never be a fix (as happened for a few in Reunion.) Probably this wouldn't fall into that category, and Egosoft do have an excellent record for fixing issues, but I'm not affiliated with Egosoft and have no more information than any regular customer has.
