Delivery/Collect Item bugged?

[DyD&Marina]

I'm trying to do some quests for nanites, but now i the third quests of this two types say to me "deliver the good to a secure depot" and "mission is in another system".

The problem is there is not objective and on galaxy map there are no sign of a quests.

I missed something or is a another bug?

The few times I did that quest the quest after having the item send you to the agent, then yo the planet (deliver it to a secure site) and then back to your agent.

I do three times 2 collect and 1 delivery and always the same problem after i go to the planet for delivery/collect then the game say to me to deliver the good and the mission is in another system.

Another bug then..

No. Some delivery missions actually are supposed to deliver in another system. But the customer's star system is often not always clear. I think there's supposed to be a gift icon on top of the star in the galactic map.

Is the third mission with no icons on the galactic map after i do the objective, a bug with the map or with the quests i think.

no, this is a bug. There is a problem where you go to do a delivery mission in another system. you warp to the system but then you can't turn it in. I don't know specifically why but for me it seems to be because there is no "depot" to turn it in. It had me warp to a system with a desolate planet with no trade stations. I check the galactic map and it tells me im in the correct system but when i go back to ship view and look around the quest log dialogue in the bottom right tells me its in a different system.

It's sometimes a trading post. Sometimes the station terminal.

I don't have any system to warp, no sign on galaxy map, i think you have another bug.

Alot funny thing, i have a old delivery quest bugged but the system where i get this quest is hundred thousand of light year far from where i'm now.

Where is the funny thing, when i was doing another delivery quest, i needed to go in another system, this time i have an icon in galaxy map.

Done the quest, when i go to get the reward the game give me to complete even the old bugged quest, even if i not get near this system.

I have another bugged quest, get very near to where i'm now, but i cant get complete.

It's seems game randomly get you the possibility to complete this quest.

the courier quests seem bugged to impossibility for me. i finally found a depot to hand the item into, took the item, then told me to deliver the item to the depot even though i have and no longer have it in inventory.. say whaaaaaa?

I have the same problem, when I deliver item to first spot, then mission sends me to another one *sometimes in other system, sometimes on the same planet) ,but my item from mission agen it taken from me, I can't find that item anywhere to buy it, so it is impossible to finish that mission at all.

I have a "collect & deliver" mission, having collected the item, got onto galaxy map - target was 5270 ly away! Heading there.

Perhaps a bug at work, or HG doing its bit to encourage exploration?

I had the same problems as the OP, unitl I realized that you don't need a marker on the galactic map. Just make the courier mission active by selecting it, and go to the galaxy map. On PC you can use Q and E to select a Destination... use "Current Mission" to find the system you need to make the delivery in.

I realize that most of you might know this, but it took me 80 hours of gameplay to notice this feature ;-)

New patch and the Deliver Item Mission bug is present in VR. You deliver the object but the mission does not end and it keeps asking you to deliver the object even though it has already been taken away from you

It is March of 2021.

Just had this occur in my game. No way to clearly see where the final destination system is.

1.) Took me about 10 minutes of aimlessly flying around waiting for some clue about where I was supposed to go until the message finally appeared telling me it was in another system.

2.) Clear, green line showing me where to jump on the map...but absolutely no indication whatsoever of where the final destination was. No icon, no ability to select it via the menus, nothing. Took another 10 minutes or so of aimlessly flying around until I realized that the system I jumped to was not the "destination" system.

3.) Finally, by aimlessly spinning the galaxy map around in circles, I noticed a red "mission" marker, something like 3 jumps away. I made my way there, and it was trading depot. A mission icon that looked like a package finally appeared in the world.

4.) Landed at the designated trading depot. Clearly indicated robot/terminal thing. Went through the dialogue to deliver the package. Delivered it. It confirmed the delivery, I gained rank with the merchant's guild.

5.) Immediately upon exiting the dialogue, it told me to proceed to the Secure Depot indicated by the client. The mission icon remained on the robot/terminal for the depot I was currently in...to which I had JUST DELIVERED THE PACKAGE AND RECEIVED CONFIRMATION OF COMPLETION FROM.

6.) Clicked on the robot thing again, and it restarted the "make delivery" dialogue, and now, it said something like, "I must have misplaced the client's package. If I can find an exact copy, maybe I can hand that in instead."

From the look of this thread, the bug has been in the game for going on nearly four years now? More?

If the bug isn't fixable, just replace or completely disable the mission set. They're optional missions -- they're not hard-coded into the main questline. Having something this broken -- so readily available at the very beginning of the game -- persist to be a problem for four years is kind of ridiculous. Again: four years.
