Need help with space missions

[Bloodartist]

Im having trouble figuring out how to do space missions, in particular "deliver hot goods". I blew up the Pyke cruiser that dropped the cargo I was supposed to deliver (even though the mission briefing makes no mention about having to do that), but the delivery location is in Toshara orbit and I cant figure out where or how do I deliver?

The scan doesnt seem to reveal anything, and I only get "a search area" but I have no idea what Im supposed to be looking for. someone help me out what am I supposed to be looking for?

EDIT: I guess that cruiser was unrelated. Great.

ps. so far I have not been happy at all about space combat, but that is a topic for another thread.

Make sure to have the mission you're doing tracked in your journal. When tracked it should give you an arrow on your screen telling you exactly what area to go in to look for the item.

If you scan the area it tells you too look for the cargo you will probably see a crate icon come up, sometimes you have to move around and do a few scans. When you find and pick up the correct package it will tell you and then you go wherever the arrow tells you to go next. If you don't see anymore arrows in your current system, open the screen to calculate a hyperspace jump and if one of the locations has a yellow arrow next to it, then you have everything you need from the current system to continue the mission in the next system. When you arrive there will be another arrow telling you where to go next, likely a drop off point under a satellite.

I did manage to complete the mission after I figured what I was supposed to do, thanks.
Im not a fan of space combat in this game or vague mission briefings.
