Can't sell my derelict loot?

[Abyzmi]

Okay, so I have the captain's log and the crew manifest and I take it to the junk trader/scrap dealer and he tells me that all I can do is buy another beacon. What gives?
How do I get rid of these things?

Yep, same here. Just got a crew manifest from a ruin.

I had a similar problem, but was given the quest too. To fix it for my end I had to fly out and back into the space station for them to allow me to get rid of the loot

So far, it seems like unless the log and manifest come from a freighter in an abandoned or uncharted system, you need to sell them at the station in the system you got them. Is that your issue?

Wrong... You can sell them at any space station after you complete the mission.

My guess is that the mission somehow was not complete before they left the freighter.

I went through every room and got all of the terminals. When I finish going through the freighter, the quest tells me to return to my ship. So I don't think that's the issue.

I gave them to someone else and they were able to sell in another station than where i got them.

For me and my friend worked this: After completing the Freighter we couldn't sell our stuff on the space station. So I took a look on my teleporter list and found one station with the mission symbol on it (mission must be selected). So we teleported to that system and sold our stuff there. :)

I found a workaround for this, just put the 2 manifests in a storage container and take them out again, this resets the mission and I got the mission markers for both the Scrap dealer and the Guild Envoy.

EDIT : I spoke to soon, it only worked for the Captain's log :/

I tried that, I put some of them in the cargo boxes in anticipation of devs fixing this, ultimately I sold them for like 800 credits. Weird thing is I have 4 profiles (save games) and this happens 100% times in one of them while the other three it does not (meaning in only one profile I was never able to 'offload' the two items)

Up until tonite never a problem. Now nothing is given for the capt log or the crew manifest. Just another damned bug.

[Sinisterplan]

I cant sell ANY captains logs or manifests to the scrap dealer and havent been able to for quite a while. They don't seem to care to fix this bug. NOW they offer NEW content I CANT EVEN take advantage of because they still haven't fixed this F*&%$&$%^ bug!!!!!!!!

If I remember correctly, not everything is sold to the junk dealer. The crew manifest and captains is sold to one of the guild members on the OPPOSITE side of the station from the scrap dealer. Which one depends on the type of ship it was. Explorers guild, traders guild, etc... The token probably tells you which.

Nope. I have sold both to a scrap dealer before it bugged out. You choose to sell to the scrap dealer for currency or the guild for rep.

It looks like the mission never actually sees me get in my starship. It still says use teleporter to get to your starship and im already inside and flying around.......

[Sinisterplan]

After using the teleporter to get back to the airlock it refuses to let me go to the next part of the quest. It just says go back to starship but at the same time it tells me to take my findings to a space station. BUT it does not say that in the log, only on screen, in the log it still says go to starship. If I try to pulse to the space station it quits the quest and I'm left with completely USELESS manifest and captains log. Worth only 600 units each. So with this new content I only get 150-200 tainted metal because I can't turn in the highest two rewards. This just effing sucks.

The usual fix for some bugs in the game has always been to save, quit, then reload the save. The base limitation bug for example, prevents you from building out a base from 300 u if you teleport out from a base and return before building. Save and reload fixes that. The frozen graphics screen: save and reload (if you can!). Sounds more like a glitch then. It's been awhile since I did a derelict, but I don't recall any issues selling stuff.

My starship also says out of range during the ENTIRE mission. I cannot put anything in my ship it says out of range. Even though I have the upgrade that works just fine to put things in my ship elsewhere. This is just a giant cluster F.
