[1.10] BUG? Mission Agents for Delivery keep getting killed

[sandalle]

So I've now had four agents (two wanting 15xUnstable Crystals (one in Argon Prime another in Teladi space somewhere)), one wanting 30xUnstable Crystal (in Argon Prime), and the fourth wanted 15xHerbicide (Argon Prime)) in a row mysteriously die in 1.10 as I'm nearing the station to deliver them. The first one I thought it was neat that semi-illegal deliveries had repercussions for the agent, but after the next two and especially the non-illegal Herbicide...bug.

I have a fifth delivery mission for 15xHerbicide to some other Argonian, I'm afraid to get near his station or I'll be his death for unknown reasons.

All of these missions reported that they had no timeline, some I took longer to do than the others, but the Herbicide one and at least one of the Unstable Crystals I did them in what I felt a timely manner.

SaveGame before I go near the last delivery mission I have, for 15xHerbicide. After I fly to the mission station Morning Star III - ARG Argon Defence Platform, I get this message:

Herbicide

Mission failed: Contact was killed

Note that this is still occurring with 1.20 updated today, though the game and missions were obtained during 1.10.

Running 1.20. Obtained mission in 1.20. Original game started in 1.10. I've tried this multiple time to make sure it wasn't time based or something. Without fail every time I enter range for delivery the contact immediately dies, and the mission fails. Save game was just before taking this quest, so I've received the quest while running 1.20 every time.

Looks like viewtopic.php?f=146&t=403954 is a similar report. This is still happening in 1.30 for me.

This is happening for me in 1.32, though I started the quest chain in an earlier version. It's for the delivery of 2 Feine Mahlzeiten(I guess special meals in english?)

As long as I stay away from the station the quest leads me to, nobody dies. I can fly around for hours doing other stuff. If I fly closer than 4 km to the station then the contact dies instantly.

I've completed a few other such delivery quests in the same game while running older versions.

I have a copy of the savegame and can send it to anyone who wants it.

My first fine meal mission - v1.50 - exact same thing happened - mission failed because contact was killed - and after all the dicking around I did to get the ingredients, I'm majorly pissed off...

Sadly, same issue. Has anyone found a way around this ?
