Couple of issues with “Acquire Industrial Secrets” missions

[Scrufcat]

I’ve actually got a couple of bugs with this mission. Running on a PC, normal mode, no mods. I picked up one of the “Acquire Industrial Secrets” missions. As soon as I landed I got an alert about being detected and warning of a data wipe. I blasted right in, got the data, ran out, but before I could get in my ship and fly away I got an alert that the mission failed and it disappeared from my secondary missions list. Tried this same type of mission several different times and on one of them I saw a countdown timer flash with over a minute on it but I still got the mission failed message a few seconds later.

So big bug one, it seems impossible to succeed on the mission.

Logged out, logged back in, I got a bunch of alerts about navigational coordinates being received and four “Acquire Industrial Secrets” missions show back up in my secondary missions’ log. Specifically, “Aggressive Infringement”, “Industrial Relations”, “The Deep Places”, and “Nature Comes First”. I pick one, go to location, immediately fail becomes time runs out before you can get back to ship and all the missions disappear. If I log out/on, the missions show back up again.

Yep. Avoid all harvester missions once you get up to about level 6. They even have different descriptions, so you don't know it's a Data Wipe mission until you arrive and get the time warning that counts down from 2 minutes to Failed in 25 seconds.

Actually... it says data breach... yada yada... mission failed. But yet it says mission complete in the top left corner. You can still turn it in and get your reward... after you shake the setinals that is.
