How do you complete 'deliver materials' missions?
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....
