I researched this issue and found that it is a bug that they know about, and several are having the same issue. That is great, except I cannot play ( accept missions or contracts ) until they either fix the bug and/or clear my bugged missions. There are 2 things I have run into that probably do not help the situation.
First: I will sometimes take small credit missions or contracts and stack them because I am already going there. About half the time, I get the mission critical message offering me an additional 10K credits to go to another system. I generally delete or not accept it, especially if it involves a distance or 200K or more LS, or 15 to 20 minutes of just sitting. That uses one of my available missions.
Second: Sightseeing Passenger missions sometimes have beacons that cannot be found. I have advanced scanners, am withing 1000, fly all over the place looking, only to end up cancelling the mission. I had one that was 650k LS from the main system planet, and it was not there. This used another of my available missions.
Am I missing something, and is there a way to avoid falling into this trap because I choose to make 2 mil in 5 minutes as opposed to 20k in 20 minutes.
Thx
