[#3850][7.50] HAT plot: SCA Sabotage mission stuck

[Fluggonaut]

I'm currently in that HAT plot mission where you have to acquire 3 spacesuit bombs, place them on a SCA station pier and sabotage the incoming Pelican Sentinel. However, the mission is stuck on "Sabotage: SCA Pirate Base" with a yellow docking mission indicator on the SCA station.
The way I got into this situation (I suppose) is having waited a long time after acquiring the 3 spacesuit bombs, doing other things instead.

When I finally arrived at the SCA station, the quest marker told me to dock at the station while Dal Busta's voice line said its bit about sabotaging the pier before the Pelican arrives. However, the quest marker did not point at the pier.
I did put the bombs there anyway, but it didn't count towards the mission. The Pelican arrived, docked and has stayed there forever now. I read that you are supposed to be able to try again, so I waited a long while and did other things again.

This is the savegame. You can see the Pelican still being docked at the station and not doing anything.
Even destroying said Pelican (savegame) does not help.

Update: A workaround is boarding the Pelican, this lets another one appear for the mission and I was able to progress.

I reckon this is a great way to farm Pelicans.
