Can I encounter abandoned quests again later?

[Qwertion]

Just got a quest on my second planet to elinimate renegade samurai. I'm hylotl so I thought cool it'll be epic samurai battle and accepted. 2 seconds later my target storms in into the hut I stab it dealing 0 visible damage, then get anihilated from 1 strike. After checking his still there I beam back onto the ship and cancel the quest. No quest marker with this guy now. Will I get this quest later when I'm grown up and all or did I messed up horribly by accepting quest that wasn't meant for me?

Quests are randomly generated, and there's only like 3 possible variations or so. So yeah.

I've been grinding them in the same village so far.

3 variations? Like 3 types of random quests only? So I'll never run out of random quests?

Well let's see, there's...

- Deliver item to an NPC
- Bring NPC a certain item
- Kill someone
- Save someone
- Kill someone to save someone

That's about all. Sometimes they are single quests, other times chained together (the later usually rewards you with an annoying crew member).

Does difficulty of quests or mobs vary with the planet? I thought that gentle stars are supposed to have gentle mobs and gentle quests before.

The quest where you have to safely escort a NPC gets more difficult as the difficulty level of the planet (and its monsters) goes up. I've had several NPCs get killed by monsters :(

Can I check the difficulty level of a planet somewhere?

Yeah, that's the "risk level." Or you can tell by the ores available.

Hope I got the order correctly:

Gentle = Very Easy
Temperate = Easy
Radioactive = Medium
Freezing = Hard
Fiery = Very Hard

It affects mob damage, mob defense, and obviously the planets have more hazards (lava instead of water, exploding barrels, poison lakes, etc). That's all AFAIK.
