[BUG] Mission : Retrieve Medical Supplies too far away

PLATFORM : Steam Windows 10
BUG : Mission - Retrieve medical Supplies can spawn Lockboxes too far away

For the Mission that spawns two lockboxes of Medical Supplies, it is possible for at least one of them to spawn so far away it is not possible to complete the mission successfully.

I traveled to the beacon and started scanning. The first lockbox was located about 4km below the scanner plane and I successfully removed the lock and collected the supplies. I was credited for lockbox 1 of 2. When I scanned for the second box, there were no nearby targets. The nearest Unknown Object was 40km away. After searching my local area, I boosted towards the 40km object.

When I was about 15km away from the beacon, the mission guidance changed to suggest I return to the beacon. I ignored it and went to the 40km Unknown Object. It was indeed the missing lockbox and I successfully opened it. I did not get credit for the retrieval.

I then followed the mission guidance back to the beacon and it still asked me to locate and open lockbox 2 of 2. It had not credited me for the distant box at all and there were no more lockboxes to locate. I had to abandon the mission.

I suggest there should be a check on how far away the lockboxes are allowed to spawn.

I can confirm; this has happened on all of the lockbox missions I've taken. After the third time, I stopped taking lockbox missions.

Has only happened on one for me, I got the first box, but when i reach the 2nd box, I can see it for a second @ 2km, i slow downto approach and it literally vanishes, but target is still there.
I even tried going around the side of it and shot right through where it should be. went right through. ghost box. sucks cuz itslike a quarter million payout.

You can see I've turned around and facing back towards the designated area, the lockbox is like 60m in front of me, invisible, but I could see the solid lockbox as I approached it. vanished around 2km.

I found one box inside search perimeter and one box outside the search perimeter it was 28 km away I saved the game and shot at the box got the contents and could not complete the mission. I ended up smashing into the Lock box slowly bashing it into the search perimeter and completed the mission it took me good half hour to do it. But it worked. Be careful not to bash to hard as the box takes damage just gentle nudges and hope it is not to far away. Got my 135,000.


Big game bug.

I get to where the box's should be but never see a box so cant collect, shoot or open them.
I have tried about three different times so going to give them a miss.
I have also bought a miner but don't know how to set it to auto mine? The tutorial is rubbish!!!!!!

Confirmed.

I have tried this mission 2 or 3 times and, in each case, there was one lockbox very near the nav point and the second was nowhere to be found. The first box always opens without issue. I dropped the mission in each case after 20-30 minutes of flying around running scans (even finding random lockboxes that were apparently unrelated to the mission). Huge waste of time in its current form.

The information window has a second tab with all the menus related to NPC behaviors (including AutoMining, AutoTrading, etc). You will probably figure it out once you get there.
