ANT Trade Guild mission, rescue my own ship?

[H34Dru5H]

Ver 6.1 latest Steam patches, Vanilla.

Hi, bit of a strange one this. I accepted an ANT Trade Guild mission of the type 'One of our ships is stranded in a minefield', rescue and deliver'. When I decided to activate the mission, which was a very long time after I accepted it, the ship in question was one of my own traders happily going about it's own business and nowhere near a minefield. At first I flew off after the ship only to discover when I got there it was my own ship! So I took control as requested and being it was no longer in said minefield, was asked to deliver it but no delivery location is specified, nothing on the map, all a bit odd with only an hour to deliver. I don't mind handing over the ship, mods and all if I knew where to take it. Also the mission states it must be in the same condition as I found it. TBPH I've had it so long I don't even remember where I got it Seems like a bug to me and I can just abort the mission but I lose 5 rep which is a bit harsh for something out of my control.

Has anyone else had this problem? I have backed up the save if anyone's interested. I have no cloud space to upload to but I'm sure I can work something out..

Please don't wait to be asked. A save is almost always useful, and without one we can very rarely investigate a problem of this type.

Sorry about that, hopefully this will work https://drive.google.com/file/d/12LjHQz ... drive_link

I think I have some idea how this occurred.

The quest itself spawns an abandoned ship in a minefield.
I presume that one of your pilots passed it by, claimed it, and then at some point you gave it orders not realising that it was a new ship.

As for why there's no marker to turn it in, I have no idea why that is.

I think you might be right and I was thinking the same thing. Only problem is, even if I could return it, I doubt it's anywere near its original condition so I'm stumped anyway. I could just leave the mission sitting there but I suspect it will time out at some point and I will get an arse kicking from the ANT

I managed to get round this problem without losing any rep by reverting the ship at my wharf to approx Argon specs and flying it to the ANT wharf so it got there safely and then sold it to them. The ship proceeded to land at the ANT wharf and then vanished and I got the message 'I hope you don't expect to be paid for that' and the mission has completed with no loss of rep.
