Missions are unplayable -Devs on the case.

[Abuchris]

I've spent 16 hours in game, so far I've built one medium ship, set it up as a trader, and I started looking for trading missions.

I found 2.
Both of them were to deliver a variety of goods to a system.
Both of them required me to lose money on every trade, since the selling price in the target system was lower than anywhere else in the known universe
Both of them had too few buy orders to be able to complete
I sat in system with three ships, constantly monitoring all buy orders. Over the course of 2 hours, I was unable to complete a mission worth 250.000


I then decided to go do something else.
Grabbed a repair mission.. which was stuck and unreachable in some station geometry.
Having tried to reach it in my spacesuit, and my ship, I got a "mission failed" with no explanation.

And I've been bug testing this game for 16 hours, meaning I can no longer get my money back.
I had LONGED to play this game... SO, SO wanted this to be the game for me. And it's broken and unplayable.. I now own a 50 eur line of text in my steam library.

It sounds like you've been exceptionally unlucky as there are lots of people playing missions successfully, and you must have just happened to take a couple that didn't work so well. If you tell us which specific missions they were (there's usually a name in the briefing and/or the log) and which faction you accepted them from, we can look into fixing them.

[Abuchris]

When you say log, do you mean a log file, or ingame?

What am I looking for, specifically?
Oh, and remember, one mission failed for no discernible reason, so I don't know if that changes how to give you the information you need..

[CBJ]

By log I mean the in-game logbook. Any information that helps us to identify the specific missions you're having problems with will help.

Thank you. This will be looked into.

if you find something wrong with me, please reply here.

If you find something wrong with the game, just put it in the patchnotes. I'll read them, and reinstall game and try again if there's a chance I can play the game.

Not sure if it's the same, but I had a Lockbox quest ("All the Items" or some such name where the guys ship was blown up and he wanted me to salvage what I could), when I opened the first lockbox, all seemed good and the mission progressed. I used the PLC on my ship to unlock the lockbox. On the second lockbox, whether I used my ship gun or the hand laser, upon opening the lockbox and grabbing the items the mission said I failed. Logbook just said "Failed mission" with no details at all as to why.

@ sandalle: I cannot find quite the same lockbox mission issue reported before, just this.

Thank you for checking, but no, the Lockboxes show correctly. Sorry, I should have been more specific, my Lockbox quest is failing and this is the issue I'm having from this thread:

Having tried to reach it in my spacesuit, and my ship, I got a "mission failed" with no explanation.

I have no idea why I failed the mission as I did everything "by the book" (according to the wiki, tutorials, and reddit) to complete the quest, but I failed anyways and the Logbook is useless for figuring out why.

I would say around 80% of the repair missions spawn in really weird places.

The normal scanning points seem to be spawning inside of the structures or floating above them from time to time, but not as frequently as the mission scanning points.

Also, I had at least two cases where I were supoposed to scan 3 points, but the mission was closed ( and rewarded ) after two scans.
All four scanned points were inside of the structures, but "reachable" with a lot of fiddling around.
