How do you complete 'deliver materials' missions?

Post by Gavrushka »

I recently took on a mission (I'm not a mission person) to deliver supplies to 'any' station owned by a split faction in a particular sector. - Making sure I had all the materials on board, I docked at one of the stations, taking the helm when the mission didn't complete. -I tried transferring the materials, but the station didn't want them... SO I tried a couple more stations, finally landing at an equipment dock which would have taken them (by manual trade.) - Even so, the mission still didn't complete, so I had to abort it. - The only thing I think may have caused an issue was I was in a large freighter. - Anyhow, if someone could talk a confused old man how to conclude such missions in future, I'd be very grateful. :)

The foodstuffs and meds? You just sell them at any stations that would buy them, until you've sold the specified quantities. Trivial completion is possible in sectors which have a Trading Station, as you can just dock a freighter there, buy the goods there and immediately sell them back.
I don't think the type of freighter should matter. If you've delivered everything but it doesn't complete, then there's a new bug. These missions worked for me before.

Ah, I did sell them on a equipment dock in the end, definitely in the right sector, but the mission didn't conclude. (It was shield components, turret components and weapon components.) - I wish I'd kept a save, as I guess it must've been buggy.

Hmm... there are two kinds of delivery missions. One expects you to bring a specified percentage of a particular station's wares (one specific station). The other expects you to deliver a specified total of wares to any station(s) within a sector. Are you certain it was the latter?

Absolutely certain, yes. - There was no guidance to any specific station, but I did end up delivering to the only station in sector which required the three goods. - I wonder if I simply didn't wait long enough after delivery *before* cancelling the mission (I'm not a mission person.) - The reason I say that, is because I did a repair satellite mission more recently, and that did not show as complete immediately after repairs were finished. It took around 4.73 seconds... :|

I'll try waiting more than a nanosecond before cancelling it, and assuming it's broken next time....
