1.20 BUG "A Lucrative Opportunity" Mission: Bar disappears when returning

[(/\)arped]

- Discovered mission when scanning around a microchip plant.

- Received mission for a delivery of 2 Unstable Crystals to this station.

- After approaching the station and docking, the quest marker updated to the teleportation pad

- "Bar" revealed as a teleport option. Was able to travel there.

- Only had 1 of the Unstable in personal inventory at the time.

- Left station to collect more, on return, while holding enough crystals to complete the mission:

- Quest marker vanishes on station apparoch

- After docking, quest marker does not update or reappear.

- Moving to teleportation pad does not list "Bar" as a teleport option. Only the Engineer/Station manager rooms.

I've tried "resetting" the quest by dropping the crystals and recollecting them but this doesn't seem to do anything

I just took one of these missions and had the items, didn't see any bar or anything so I can't progress the mission.

I have the same issue. I can enter the bar on the station, interact with the black marketeer, leave the bar (e.g., to go to the trader), and come back, as long as I don't leave the station, but if I leave the station and come back (even without the items) the option to go to the bar is gone from the teleporter, leaving the mission uncompletable. (The station also seems to have two bars, one with the black marketeer and one with just a bunch of NPCs for hire; I'm not sure if that's WAD or bug-related.) I'm running vanilla 1.20 with no mods.

The Bar is not spawning into these missions so you can't complete them. Some of them when you get within 2km of the station the marker just vanishes. Haven't been able to access the black market in 1.0 1.1 and 1.2.

Yea i noticed that too, i never saw any person in a bar... Did someone saw anyone in there?

The Bar location isn't even showing up for me so I can't even go there

Afaik, it does spawn, but only directly after accepting the mission. If you leave (the sector) and come back it will no longer be there.

I've accepted missions and can't hand them in because there is no bar location and when you get within 2km of the station the mission marker vanishes ..... why should leaving the sector cause the Bar to vanish in the first place?

If you go to the bar without the items you break the missions also(did this on old save).

Have the same bug no option to go to the Bar . But it happend differently to me, i knew about the bug appearing if you enter the bar without all of the items. I accidentally picked up a second lucrative opportunity mission and the quest is bugged for me too (marker as i approach the station, but no update/Bar while docked)

[edit]Found a third lucrative opportunity immediately docked and was able to hand in the quest. Bar looks nice, bit empty though. Should work as a workaround!

[rayjaymor85]

I have this too --- you have to go the Bar as soon as you accept the mission, once you leave the sector it's completely gone.

Also the item you need to bring back randomly changes too, not terrible as often the trader has the items you need anyway so you buy it off them, hand it in, get 10x the cash!

Some of us simply never get a bar regardless of how we do the mission. I've tried multiple times to do the mission with the materials from the start, docking immediately after getting the mission, no bar ever spawns. Leave come back, still no bar. Leave system and return, no bar. With the items from start or without, a bar never spawns no matter what is done. It feels like this mission needs recoded from ground up because it's riddled with bugs every step of the way.

Yes, but until these bugs are fixed the workaround is as I described it: only accept these missions if you already have the items and immediately hand them in.

I have about 6 active "A Lucrative Opportunity" missions available (waiting until I find the illegal goods before I can complete them). I tried to complete two of them (for spaceflies and for unstable crystals), but when I arrive at the mission marked station, the NPC and bar are no where to be found. The teleporter room or whatever it's called doesn't give a bar option. This is clearly a bug.

If the time has elapsed and the mission expired, then it should simply say so in the mission briefing, not send players on a wild goose chase risking their necks to smuggle illegal goods with no reward. I had to reload 3 times already because police find my illegal cargo and I don't want to lose it or risk losing faction standing.

[DaMuncha]

I was trying to to this mission last night. I have the spaceflies but nowhere to turn them in. and the mission indicator doesn't tell me where to go.

[theonefrancis]

is there a bar lol

[philberto83uk]

I just stopped taking them and to be honest i think the bar should a permanent location in some stations not all but some because even if you have all the items before taking a mission the bar some times still wont spawn. As I said before without leaving the sector and just flying around the same one to get space flies went back to quest giving station and go with in 2KM of station quest marker vanished.

I would have hoped doing at least one of these missions would open the bar up so you can visit it and the black market when you wanted not by having to scan a station each time then taking a mission that may or may not spawn a bar in the first place.

[Noodz]

lets hope devs fix this soon I spent 2 days catching spaceflies to make the 2x caviar and I want a HUGE payday I refuse to sell the caviar for less to a trader.

[RossBC]

Have the same issue unable to compete the mission even though i have the warse and at the destination. no bar spawns (not that i knew one would untill I read these forums for bugs).
Edit: Just got a new one went to the station to make sure the bar was there without leaving the sector it was.
Left the sector then came back it was broken and not there. Fundamentally makes the missions broken, any personal wares missions sound like they are breaking if you have to leave the sector they are given in, if you are trading them to an npc.
